I don't even know if the Millennials like it or it's just what the Design Industry has declared is In. But it makes houses feel like they are from the Giver and I hate it. Although what really gets me is the greyscale *baby toys*
There was originally a cool science reason for the b&w toys as researchers think newborn babies have very minimal color vision so the toys are very "visible" and stimulating. It was a niche thing that turned into a really annoying design philosophy. Lol it's giving Giver
Stark black and white toys are fine, the high contrast IS good for baby's vision afaik at very young ages. Making *everything* in pale shades of white and grey and beige is not that. Like, this is a real product that exists:
Grayscale being in vogue makes me conspiratorial about Behr, Benjamin Moore, and Sherwin-Williams just trying to get rid of warehouses of paint no one bought for the last 30 years by paying off real estate firms and interior designers 😆
