    I saw an interesting argument, I can’t remember where, saying that bland white/beige has become so popular for interior decorating because we are inundated constantly with colourful advertising everywhere in our lives now. So, to be able to retreat to a home without vivid colours blasting you in the face everywhere you look is a relief.

      I think that’s a fascinating idea, but we continue to seek colour in our screens and such so I’m not sure if we truly want relief. I mean, I don’t. I get mad excited when I enter a room with actual colour in it.

      My family are contractors that typically service wealthy clientele. The brains behind the painting and decor side of things told me that people prefer white/beige because it maintains it’s value. From what we can observe with this post, teal took 10 years to financially bomb. White is still going strong and can be mixed into a very wide colour palette with furniture and decor, etc…
