The AirBnB'ing of interior decorating has spilled over into the general housing market, driven too, by too many HGTV shows. It's gotten to the point where if I see a gray floor or countertop, it just screams that this place has no character or charm, that the owners or flippers have no imagination and that I am not the target audience. Shame, because a lot of places have a nice character that just needs to be fixed up. But fixing up takes a custom solution; time, rather than money. Just so much easier to rip out the old and overprint with the factory crap that's in vogue.
Not that other time periods didn't have their fads and fashions, of course. But those fads and fashions are now kind of charming, where they've survived. Will the 2010s and 2020s interior decor induce nostalgia 50 years from now? Who knows.

There is even an entire blog about how these supposedly unique houses really are the same underneath (https://mcmansionhell.com/ https://mcmansionhell.com/)
