Funny, I had the opposite experience with my last place. I went super neutral with the floors and walls, thinking it’d be timeless, but after a while it just felt kind of bland. Ended up splurging on a statement light fixture and some wild wallpaper in the entryway—honestly, it made the whole space feel more “me.” It’s true, though, that undoing bold choices can be a pain. I guess I’m just willing to risk it for that wow factor... at least in small doses.
I get where you’re coming from, but I’ve seen a lot of folks regret those bold choices when it comes time to sell or rent. The wild wallpaper—did you have to strip it yourself, or did you just leave it up for the next person? I’ve always wondered if the hassle of redoing things outweighs that initial “wow” moment. I guess it depends how long you plan to stick around...
