Fifty shades of dismay: The invasion of the gray vinyl floor Did you just move into a house whose previous owner or the landlord followed the go-gray-or-go-away trend? Don't worry, you're not alone in your boredom with these slabs of synthetic sadness. Yes — it was a trend and somehow took over homes faster than a horde of zombie apocalypse survivors, according to Realtor.com’s Julie Taylor. The Los Angeles Times calls them "soulless," while The Atlantic describes their color as ranging from "vape cloud to wet gravel." It's as if they're competing for the "Most Depressing Flooring" award, and they're winning by a landslide. So where did this gray plague come from? You can blame it on the early 2010s and our collective obsession with looking "modern" and “minimalist." And let's not forget the influence of home renovation shows like Fixer Upper. While Joanna Gaines might not have directly started the gray floor trend, her love for neutral palettes (as well as other hosts of HGTV renovation shows) certainly didn't help. Despite the growing backlash, these gray invaders show no signs of retreating. Why? Because they're cost-effective, durable, and apparently, flippers and landlords love them more than they love raising their rents. So let's talk about the literal elephant in the room. The biggest drawback of these floors is that they're, well — gray. Taylor quotes Cedric Stewart, a real estate consultant, who eloquently states, "There's nothing exciting about gray. Let's be honest." Reach out for more! Realtor, TBWSAll information furnished has been forwarded to you and is provided by thetbwsgroup only for informational purposes.
