I firmly dislike cherrywood, anything that is more red than brown is absolute shit to me. My parents loved it, thought it was the pinnacle of wealth.
Now you might be questioning why I dislike cherrywood. The answer doesn't actually matter though, I dislike it. Most importantly, I am not the only one.
I like vinyl, because I spent a few weeks of my life (probably at most a few hours total actual wall clock hours on it) replacing flooring in a couple of rooms through a few houses. The beginning, and the rest of my answer here though, also does not matter. It only matters that I like it and will pay money for it over wood. I am also, not the only one.
Gray is used for many reasons in new builds, its a neutral color, and because many builders build a house/apartment, THEN sell to customers. Very few customers buy a plot of land, contract an architect, make customizations, and then build the building. It comes with the realization that people will substitute out the things they want on their own, not requiring someone else figure out everything they like and being creative all on their behalf for $0.
- pixl97 3y agoNo idea why you're downvoted for this, but I guess pointing out the obvious on HN makes some people mad.
- randomdata 3y agoYou do not understand why people are pressing the "this is correct" button even while you recognize that the comment is stating the obvious? Perhaps you don't understand why anyone would take time out their day to press any button that doesn't do anything? I suppose that's fair. One of life's mysteries.

- latency-guy2 3y agoI think my comment above is of equal quality to this article, do you not agree?

Interesting. Here in Poland when you buy an apartment from developer, you generally get it unfinished, like this: https://www.domoweklimaty.pl/app/uploads/2018/10/co-dokladnie-oznacza-stan-deweloperski.jpeg https://www.domoweklimaty.pl/app/uploads/2018/10/co-dokladni... It's up to you to find contractors to finish it the way you want it - maybe together with interior architect if you want one.
