When i was young I thought my mom’s colorful decor was ridiculous. Now I’m old and my kids think I’m ridiculous for wanting colorful everything. Is that a thing?

    I think the big thing here is which colours you’re into. Tastes change over time, either because of style trends or just age.

    My childhood home had disgusting orange shag carpets. A purple toilet. A turquoise toilet. Fucking hideous by today’s standards, but I guess someone in the 60s thought it was awesome.

    I’d pole your kids and ask for more detail. If they’re rolling their eyes because of “colour”, tell em to shaddap. If you’re picking really, really loud colours that don’t fit any particular motif, you can of course do what you want, but they might have a point on style.

      Those are the colors I’m digging right now! Maybe it’s nostalgia? I’m tired of my furniture all being brown. About to have a chair covered in green leather and I’m going to uncover a brown chair hoping the orange from my childhood is still underneath.
