+49 The great Beige-invasion is so annoying, especially with children's products. amirite?

It's not just sad when kids are involved, it hinders their development. Babies can't see in an all beige nursery because their eyes are underdeveloped and they need contrast to be able to see anything. This is why bright colors for kids were so popular for so long. Babies like them because they can see them.

By "millennials", I'm assuming you mean the older ones who were born in the early-mid 1980's, and not the "might as well be Gen Z" ones who were born in the mid-1990's.

You'd like deep dive on YouTube about this epidemic of beige sweeping the homes of families everywhere. This isn't sarcasm, it's a real thing haha. Moms are choosing aesthetic over what their children might actually want.

The one I just cannot understand is the ball pits for birthday parties: white inflatable pit and all white ballsโ€ฆ. It doesn't even look fun.

My wife and I are replacing our quilt and 95% of stuff I'm seeing online is grandma core and cottage coreโ€ฆ.all muted colors and boring. Just soul killing.

Ive leaned into full-on rainbows everywhere for mine. We have prism window dangers, colorful rugs, you name it. How the heck are the kids going to learn colors if all I have is sad beige everywhere? "Sad beige" being not cool is definitely not an unpopular opinion...but it isnt a popular one either. Ive seen a lot of people start this way when theyre tiny then give up once they get older. Who knows...

Oh my goodness, yes. That's why when I have I have kids I want everything to be circus themed, at least while they're babies, because circuses are fun and have lots of bright colors.

I actually have a little mini circus tent in my kid's room ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†

This is only on social media in real life, kids' things are filled with color. Stay off of social media and interact with real families.

Kids don't need everything to be super saturated bright colours, natural wood shades are great, and realistically coloured animals just make sense to me, but yeah, when everything is beige or grey? I mean, rainbows?!? Ug. And of course what the child wants should be the most important factor.

Just go shop at Target, Gap and Old Navy - we still got colors at this price level ๐Ÿ˜†

It reminds me of "I'm the same colors as the Department of Motor Vehicles and you...look like a flower." I've noticed a lot of the kids' toys and clothes are a bit boring nowadays. I guess that's what the younger generation likes, minimalist decor. My grandson's room is nice and bright with brightly colored toys, so they are out there if you look for them.

A good example is the popular children's brand Melissa & Doug. They are actually one of the more colorful brands, but even they have started making neutral toys, such as their kitchen play set that comes in grey/black or in all white.

So it comes in the colors of most real kitchens? The horror!

by IntelligentPut9093 6 days ago

Yes. A kid's toy should be fun. You have your whole life to be dull and boring.

You have your whole life to be dull and boring. Why would you do that?

by IntelligentPut9093 6 days ago

Because it's called being an adult. Most apartments aren't going to let you paint the kitchen kookie colors and you can do that to your house but it's going to hurt the resale value, and bright crazy colors show dirt so you're going to be cleaning constantly.

Because it's called being an adult. Sounds like a terminally online opinion by someone that can't live without instagram/influencer opinions. Most apartments aren't going to let you paint the kitchen kookie colors Been awhile since I've lived in an apartment but as long as you painted the walls back upon moving no landlord I ever had cared. you can do that to your house but it's going to hurt the resale value So you're saying it's impossible to paint when you want to move?

That's why only an idiot paints a kitchen white. lol. You're calling the majority of people an idiot. Do you have any idea how expensive it is to sell a house? It's not at all if you've kept your home in order. Source: I've sold houses.

lol. You're calling the majority of people an idiot. Yes. Only an idiot paints a kitchen white. It's a workspace. It's not at all if you've kept your home in order. Source: I've sold houses. It's extremely expensive. You have to pay the realtor, you have to get it staged, all those little quirks that you can live with? Yeah, you have to fix those. It adds up. Or you can do like my grandma did and take a big hit on the house and just not have anything fixed.

Normal humans?

by Trick_Computer_3742 6 days ago

Normal humans do care about what clothes they wear and put on their children. But hey, if you want to walk around in sweats that is your business.

by Trick_Computer_3742 6 days ago

Who mentioned clothes? But yeah, now that you mentioned it, the clothes are boring too! Ghaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
