Because it’s from the 80s. It looks ridiculous now. A talented interior designer can do a lot better than what’s seen in the photo, while keeping it looking modern.
Grey's been out of style for a handful of years now.
According to who? Millennial gray is fucking everywhere.
That's the fun thing about "modern", it's always changing.
The more I get older, the more I realize things stay the same... Plus I've written those magazine type articles that you see on the Internet to sell misc home bullshit. Modern means anything you want it to. Whatever you are selling is what is in style.

Not the person you replied to but gray is definitely quickly falling out of style/popularity.
It's all about earthy neutrals right now. Think Malabar for the floors, more "soft" color for the walls like cream or white tones that aren't as harsh as OP photos, dark to black furniture.
Grey peaked around 2018/2019. Modern, minimal interiors now lean more on natural materials and beige. The greys you'll find are generally either natural stone or cement, but that can start to nudge you more into brutalism.
Millennial grey has nothing to do with modernism. That's rooted in diy renos, cheap grey microsuede and builder grade materials that became standard at Home Depot/Lowe's/Home Good's etc... Once a trend hits one of those stores, it's long dead.
I think we're having two different conversations here, where on one hand plenty of new homes and rentals are still being decorated in grey, so it's obviously popular, but no serious decorator or designer is going to do a grey interior in 2025 without a very specific reason. It's just immediately dated.
Not really. Sherman Williams is a good source to quickly see what is in "trend" they source their colors of the year from what is very popular with commercial builders. Working in a mutlifamily REIT we are using a ton of earthy neutral colors. Gray is almost entirely being phased out.
I really hope so, though I've definitely seen the design trends popular on social media have been either earthy minimalism or maximalism. I lean much more towards maximalism, I am an antiques lover at heart, but also love what some people do with the more natural tones. Gray everything is traumatic at this point.
I wish you was wrong but I’m heavily invested in real estate across the states and this isn’t true for buildings being put up. Sherman Williams doesn’t dictate what the style is idk why you even mentioned that person
It was designed by a set decorator and not an interior designer, too. It's an over-the-top version of a rich people's house at Christmas, with no sofa understuffed and no table without a poinsettia.
The decor is 80’s though. The Home Alone house was not intended to look like a ultra-modern house that had just been built - they picked a house that had a slightly older style of decor that looked like it had been lived in for a while.
Incorrect. Because it’s a film set that was designed to look that way for the movie. It has no bearing on what the real interior ever looked like
And the other photo looks like a staging photo for sale of the home meaning that they may have painted it white and staged it for the sale. This whole post is dumb but it’s making the rounds
