My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Boring Beige - Why?

What IS this preference for neutrals that I see so often on Houzz? People say they're not afraid of color and yet they choose beige and off-white time and time again. I just cannot get on board the Boring Beige train. These examples are why...
Photo

Big yawn!

Q

Photo

Aaarrgghhh, beige snooze-fest.

Q

Photo

Oh no, so dreary.

Q

Photo

Another page from a boring catalog!

Q

Photo

Another doctor's waiting room.

Q

Photo

There's so much about this room that *could be* interesting. That sofa deserves sumptuous, rich color, for example. But no, they hopped on the Boring Beige train!

Q

Photo

Very boring.

Q

Photo

One big beige snooze.

Q

Photo

Yeah, putting a mirror over the fireplace so it could reflect back all the boring beige... yawn!

Q

Photo

Beige, beige, beige. Such nice bones and quality furniture wasted on beige.

Q

Photo

Egad, so plain Jane!

Q

Photo

Ho-hum...

Q

Photo

Screaming out for color.

Q

Photo

Duller than dull.

Q

Photo

Yawn.

Q

Photo

Ugh, so uninteresting.

Q

Photo

Gorgeous furnishings in a dramatic space, but desperately needs more color.

Q

Photo

So much potential here, but now completely boring.

Q

Photo

Artwork great, console great, coffee table great... everything else boring!

Q

Photo

The tiny slivers of blue in this room are not enough to rescue it!

Q

Photo

This room is screaming for some color!

Q

Photo

Transitional + beige = even more boring than other styles.

Q

Photo

The only thing that saves this boring room is the view out the window.

Q

Photo

Another page from a catalog of nothingness.

Q

Photo

Beige accented with white? Dullsville.

Q

Photo

Tulips are nice but don't help this room out of its boring beige-ness!

Q

Photo

They couldn't have hung a more boring piece of artwork for this boring room!

Q

Photo

Another doctor's office look.

Q

Photo

Do the inhabitants all dress in boring beige, too? Walking into this room wearing a color must be jarring, shocking even.

Q

Photo

This room has *some* personality, but... not enough to offset the dullness.

Q

Photo

They tried to add color with a painting, but the room is still totally uninteresting.

Q

Photo

Looks like a catalog of nothing impressive.

Q

Photo

In desperate need of some ZIP.

Q

Photo

Grandma-ness.

Q

Photo

Doctor's waiting room?

Q

Photo

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Q

Photo

Death by drowning in a sea of beige and off-white.

Q

Photo

It's bad when what's on the tv is the most interesting item in a room.

Q

Photo

So much potential wasted. Looks like a boring hotel lobby. Yawn!

Q

Photo

Stiff, constricting, and boring as hell.

Q

Photo

Bla bla bland!

Q

Photo

Yawn!

Q

Photo

One tiny zig-zag pillow does not rescue this dull room!

Q

Photo

Boring!

Q

Photo

Neutral hell.

Q

Photo

Looks unfinished.

Q

Photo

Yawn!

Q

Photo

They tried adding pops of color but, alas, not enough.
