Original question text by @phantomwise@lemmy.ml

What are the modern design trends you hate most? Feel free to rant! Mine are:

  • Physical buttons are out of fashion, now EVERYTHING must have a touch screen instead! Especially if it makes the appliance more inconvenient to use. Like having to press a flimsy touch screen ten times to scroll through a washing machine's programs instead of just turning a physical knob and pressing a physical start button.
  • Every website looks like it's made for a phone and was vomited by the same app in slightly different flavors of vomit.
  • Actually EVERYTHING looks like it's made for a phone... Like what's the deal with all those hamburger menus on DESKTOP apps? Please just put a regular menu and same me some pointless clicking, it's not like you're lacking screen space. I especially hate that those menus can't be opened from the keyboard like regular menus.

Colors. Society has been getting more monochrome for years. And now black and white houses are all over.

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Houses are usually white to reflect heat and because white doesn't burn out.

[–] brap@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Oh man yeah, everything’s monochrome. Grey houses, grey fences, white cars, grey window frames, grey kitchens. Everything is so dull.

My house is a reddish brown with a green metal roof. My cars are black, red, and yellow, and I do everything I can to make sure that I am surrounded by at least some kind of light and color at all times.

If I was dating a girl and I found out that she was a sad beige mom, that would be the end of the relationship.

I am about to close on my first house and it has white aluminum siding. I want to replace the siding, but what color do I choose? Also the roof is red metal.

[–] bluGill@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

any color you want. Your local paint store can can mix any of tens of thousand different colors while you wait. Paint is cheap - spend the extra cost for their best paint and it is still cheap.

make sure you don't move where a hoa puts limits on you - and tell your realtor not to waste your time on those places.

Paint is cheap

I mean, compared to gold bars I guess. (Guess who's painting their house)

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, paint is pretty damn expensive. Especially outdoor house paint that is neither a pain in the ass to apply nor will flake off in 3 years

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Red and green go well together. Perhaps a natural foresty color.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, like a Christmas house. Sounds very tasteful.

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Red and green house with golden roof. So artsy and kitsch <3
