  Gray floors have that depressing builders grade look.

  I bought a 130 year old home, the sellers put in new gray laminate over the original Douglas fir planks (I ripped it out first thing). &nbsp;Should be illegal to cover such beautiful old wood.

  Gray wood floors = Flipper Vinyl.

  The best video on interior design I have ever seen. I just oppose the chosen words &apos;cheap&apos; and &apos;expensive&apos;. I don&apos;t want to live in a house that looks expensive. I want a home that is well designed.

  Ugh, my landlord put gray &quot;wood&quot; floors in my apartment and I HATE them so much. I have area rugs everywhere.

  while my sofa is not tufted (because I don&apos;t find them comfy), it is velvet forest green in a room painted Benjamin Moore Dark Walnut and I LOVE it!!! Everyone who comes to my home loves this room and B-lines it to that room when they visit. It&apos;s just a nice warm hug of a room. It was never about a trend for me. It was something I&apos;ve always wanted and it took me years to find it. SOmetimes you gotta just follow your heart and not the advice of designers. You gotta know when to break the &quot;rules&quot;.

  Buttoned Chesterfields are hardly trendy or new. They&apos;re classics and aren&apos;t going anywhere.

  I hate the idea that design has to be expensive. The desire to look fancy/luxurious is such an over played want.

  the condo I moved into, which I am renting, has grey wood flooring. I can&apos;t do anything about it, so I am putting very warm coloured big rugs over it as much as possible to cancel it out.

  Disagree with jewel-toned velvet sofas. Still in love with my sapphire blue velvet sectional. &nbsp;Comfy and low maintenance. &nbsp;Yes, can be dusty but all it needs is a quick vacuum.

  I love velvet sofas. &nbsp;Glass tables are a bad idea for several reasons
