This remind me of a book called The Giver. Basically a dystopian society where the people don’t see colors and don’t feel real feelings. Everything is “safe” and no one is different. They are assigned jobs and spouses. At this point we are only a few steps away from this.
I read that book in English class nearly 10 years ago, good book, and I know it wasn't the author's intentions, but I agree, it reminds me so much of the world we're currently living in.
I don't see this because modern society is exceptionally degenerate. What's happening is the passive-aggressive "accommodate my uniqueness" cry for attention that has its roots in the intersectional Woke movement.
I'm a minimalist and LOVE the Scandinavian aesthetic, but involvement with color is important for children! I actually utilize psychology and leave white, black, and beige for my workspaces so that I'm not distracted and I can be more efficient, but personal spaces are colorful! Also I love that Brett is wearing beige for this episode 😂
@@Ayverie4 Honestly, when Brett mentioned that purple helped with focus, I never knew that, but now it makes sense as to why I focused so well on hw when I was at my dad's house as a teenager. My room wasn't purple purple where it was a light purple, but it wasn't lavendar toned purple, either. There's always ways to mix/match colors that appeals to the child themselves as long as it's not too bright ofc. I get curious and have been looking at houses and depending on the state you look in, you'll see some interesting colored rooms in some states within some homes, but those are easy fixes imo. I remember seeing one room that was basically pitch black in 1 of the pictures and I think the other wall was like partial black and partial white (it was an interesting combination)-b/c it was diagonal or something like that. But ngl, it looked really really cool to me almost like an easy to sleep in room despite it looking a tad on the creepy side too lol. About the colors being over-stimulating for ADHD individuals: This is prob. true to an extent but not true for all of them b/c in this case; u have to find the right color combos for urself. Ex: Find a warm tone/cool tone to mix together. I understand say the walls being like Gray or off white or something like that, but add pops of color here and there throughout the house. I know the colors I want for my walls for my room, but I'd rather wait until I get a chance to move out for that to happen. My closet is full of colorful clothes b/c I hate plain & boring colors lol. The majority of my clothes are patterned. I have a few solid colors here and there, but would I really want to wear black all the time? - sorry to those who do wear this color all the time, but nope not me. No joke, I even have a tie-dye zodiac shirt lol.
My room in daylight is white, beige, light pink. But when it turns dark, I turn on all my RGB and galaxy lights because it's time to have fun after all that focus on daytime. I have adhd so I really prefer the beige aesthetic on focus time, but sorry, not at fun time.
As an artist, neutral colors like beige as your base are fine, so long as you decorate over it with paintings, colorful images, wall hangings, tapestries, fun posters, etc. And I'm not talking about the soulless abstract or generic art you can find at any home decor shop, but street fair, romanticism, landscapes, and classical bursting with personality. You'll go nuts and be depressed with just plain beige
I had a beige home for a couple years and I was extremely depressed in those times, once I moved from my town I decided to add color to my decor and i literally feel the happiest I’ve felt in years. I thought I needed a beige home to feel more clarity, but adding colors is what I really needed
I love natural wood and rattan but everything else has color in my house 😂. Glad you added in color. It really is beautiful to have some fun colors in your home. It makes my heart happy! ❤
Well, beige or white are great colors for main elements of house in case if you have a lot of colored details: plants, paintings, rugs etc. Same for dress: it's greaf to combine beige with bright colors. Otherwise it's boring.
@Olga Voronina Yeah, white, beige, and grey are good _base_ colors for the more vibrant colors in a home. The eyes need to rest somewhere and get stimulated elsewhere.
“The world is too colorful” - has an online group whose literal thing is splashing a rainbow on everything - I can’t imagine why people would be getting tired of “too much color” lol

Grew up in a total beige household. I would always complain to my parents. Then when I was a teenager, they let me paint my room any color..I chose lime green on two walls and neon blue the other two walls with a black ceiling 😂 that’s a parenting win for my folks 🙏
In high school I got to build my own room out of a part of the basement (own bathroom too). And I got to choose the colour of the room. Dark Grey carpet with black trimming on the floor, and HIGH GLOSS purple walls and ceiling. Was awesome. Room was really bright when the sad little light was on.
I remember I got my first bedroom when I was 14 and my grandpa let me pick what furniture I wanted. I got a bed with a sideboard on it and a dresser. I don't have a nightstand or a closet or lamp in my room. Parenting fail.
Not gonna lie... 90% of my house is painted some form of beige and off white. 😂 I love neutrals. They are calming. I've been a SAHM for 12 years and spend most of my time at home, and I couldn't imagine looking at bold colors all day. But my kids' rooms, toys, clothes, have always been colorful.
My house is decorated neutral and green and black. But my daughter's nursery has color. I mean it's got a vintage flare with colorful quilts and stuff, and all her toys are normal and bright.
My family has the walls painted in neutral colors and they make the rooms colorful with decorations, I think it works good because you can change the colors as your tastes change
I like Earth tones but not just brown and beige. I like greens and blues and some grayish purples, a little bit of some red here and there. I find it very relaxing to have a "feel" of nature on the inside with a good view of the outside.
As a previous house painter, people seem to want those neutral colours because it’s good for reselling their house at a later date. And others bc it’s a rental end don’t want any colours to offend their tenants. I think it’s a symptom of people not settling long enough or stuck renting. Rich clients on the other hand have lots of colours.
My parents had this mentality with our house and we have been living in a beige house for 18 years. I feel like in some cases people just end up living for the potential next owner of the house and don't enjoy the house for themselves.
As a tenant I do appreciate the neutral colored walls because it gives a nice base for adding your own style and colors the way you want. I love starting off neutral and adding color into the decor or furniture.
Also a house painter here, I was always dismayed w when clients wanted white or beige.... then red would be a bit of a nightmare because of all the coats needed to completely cover
Very good point, Brett is too young and hasn't owned a home or rented long enough to know the. This knowledgeable you're pointing out unfortunately only comes with experience and time, so I can't fault Brett too much
I was diagnosed when I was six Imagine how I feel bro everybody just coming out and saying that they have adhd without a doctor's note to back it up and meds Shits fucked up And because there's a whole bunch of new people with adhd Meds are low smh
Was diagnosed as a kid, it's the worst. I have to work twice as hard to do good in Uni. Nothing is good or quirky about having ADHD. I also got it from being exposed to lead as a kid. So yeah, these people just want to be special.
And now is "good to have ADHD". There's a makeup artist I follow, she's supposedly autistic. She had one post in which she was promoting some noise-cancelling headphones, supposedly for people with autistic traits that need less noise, and I shit you not, the post started with: "Being autistic is AWESOME, however"... How, when? How is having ANY kind of difficulty "awesome"? It's become a fashion, something nice to have.
I like "Scandinavian but with pops of cheerful color and fun decorations". That's my aesthetic right now since "modern fantasy" and Japanese cherry blossom decor isn't really in right now. 🙁
YES I actually buy old books and kids artwork from the 40's and 50's to decorate my lil girls room. The artwork is so sweet and she loves it. She actually has wall plaques of a boy and girl praying with an angel above. Can't find that in today's world!
@@Major003 Scandinavian design is so timeless it’s just a shame when it’s done with zero fun! Also you should totally bring back the cherry blossoms (i myself am a big fan of chinoiserie lol)
I don’t mind the beige color scheme when it is paired with plants and greenery. They MATCH so well together that it’s essential to have them as contrasting colors.
Not to be too semantic… (proceeds to be semantic) lol but that’s not matching. To match means be the same. The word you’re looking for is coordinate, or pair. Like my walnut furniture coordinates well with my white and gray bedding… they don’t match. Not hating on anything just tryin’ to be helpful! 😁
My problem is that I quickly grow sick of “real colors.” I’d much rather keep my walls and big furniture beige and accessorize with color as my taste changes.
That's fair. Having a neutral base color with more easily changeable colored accessories (art, pillows, blankets, rugs) sounds awesome actually! Beige is only sad when there's no other color or anything to go with it.
I actually like grey neutral towns. But glue and beige is really hitting the spot. The rustic old timy and vintage stuff I collect goes so well with it. Like the wood wagon wheel I have hanged on the wall or the steering wheel from an old ship. Or the random anchor I have hanging in my bedroom. It's kinda cool.
I do a lot of housekeeping, and I secretly judge people whose homes are nothing but plain beige, generic Scandinavian furniture, and abstract soulless art. If you can afford a housekeeper, you can afford a personality
@@breewashere I have another comment where I explain beige is a fine base color, but if you decorate your house in nothing but grays, whites, and beige, you're boring and going to drive yourself and everyone who lives in your house crazy. You need color in your life
@@tabithaalphess2115 Look into japanese feng shui. There's no reason for people to be judging other people by how they choose to decorate their house. It's weird.
@@breewashere yeah I'm not doing that Beige and nothing else for people too afraid or too boring to have a personality. Your house is a reflection of your mind and inner life. If your house has boring and generic decorations, that says a lot about you, and I will judge
I absolutely love beige. But my kids don’t have to fit my aesthetic. Their mental development and personal development is 100% more important. I can wear what I want and they can do what they want with their own space and sense of style. I don’t get how anyone else could see otherwise it’s insane.
Agreed. I'm obsessed with all things millennial grey, but I didn't want a depressing grey baby in a depressing grey nursery, so I went with white furniture and bright gemstone rainbow colors for all the accents. It's very pretty and cheerful. I want my home to look like a child lives here, a child who is allowed to exist outside of her room. All these people who want their homes to look like a child doesn't live there need to take a step back and figure out why they had a child in the first place.
As someone with ADHD, I HATE when people use it as an excuse or a crutch to do dumb stuff or claim they need tons extra attention. We’re perfectly capable of being useful members of society, as long as we’re willing to practice some self discipline. Unfortunately it seems like even that is too much to ask sometimes.
@@McLovin-ko3ff I’d say it means creating routines and habits that help accomplish tasks, without demanding that others must cater to it. It can be more complex than that but, that’s how I’d define it generally.
Exactly!! I'm doing basically the same things I did before I found out I have ADHD, only now I understand why my body and brain does certain things, and I can adapt to it. I was honestly a little miserable before I realized what was going on - thought I was too stupid or not focused enough - but now I can pivot around the problems that come up, and I can even use some of the things that come from having ADHD to perform better at my job and house chores. A little discipline goes a long way
I'm a woman in my 30s, and you know what my house decor ~aesthetic~ is? Something that looks cozy, warm, rustic, cute, and almost like a grandma house. lol. When people visit, I intend to make my house look comfortable, happy, and welcoming. EDIT: And colorful! I love having color in my house!
Where do you find inspiration? My house walls are grey and my decoration is neutral colors. I want to incorporate more ~color~ without it looking forced 😢
The easiest solution is to paint the walls a color that makes you happy, haha. But if you don't want to bother with that sort of thing, then start with just one color in one room. If you add little things in that color, like throw pillows, or just some fun knick knacks, it adds pops of color that makes the room look more fun, but cohesive. For example, I moved into a house that has a completely black and white kitchen. I bought red kitchen appliances, towels, curtains, napkin holders, etc to add pops of color. My kitchen now has the color scheme of an old fashioned diner, and it makes me happy. :)
I will say - she says it ALL the time. It is a chronically online saying. I like neutral colors, doesn’t mean I’m a boring person… So many TikTok videos are jokes. She takes them seriously and tries to discuss real world issues using them😅 Like when did Brett start ignoring nuance and satire? She apparently thinks that anything that doesn’t fit contemporary or modern aesthetic is styleless and boring😭 like bruh. WHO TF ASKED for her ignorant and uneducated interior design opinion💀 Like srsly wtf was this… this whole video on Beige rn🤡 #justasheepofadifferentcolor
@@okeydokeyshmokey You have a point, but WHO TF ASKED for your opinion on what makes good content for a political pop culture show? Like srsly wtf was this… this whole rant on a freaking youtube video
Same, I have less decor in my house than probably any house on the street. It’s just not my thing. I’m a woman but still prefer this and it’s not because I can’t cope with color.
@@Asmiism well, hard to say. I've seen color have a big comeback especially for spring/summer and I'm still not drawn to it. I prefer classy tones, minimalistic hues. They just speak to my heart more :)
My mom who is the artist and who studied art and fashion has taught me that keeping your base neutral is key, because it’s so much easier to match and change the “fun” colors as your tastes change and I’ve come to agree. I like neutrals, it’s simpler that way and when I do sprinkle some color like yellow, well it’ll always match!! And nude/blush pink, soft/light blue, navy, moss/olive green and even a butter yellow are also considered neutrals…so yay, color-which I love!!!
All those colors you mentioned at the end are what I’m gravitating towards these days! I didn’t realize they were technically neutrals. I’ve noticed I often choose white or a soft color when purchasing any new items for my home, rather than my old favorite of red. I’m not against color, but I definitely put the brakes on collecting everything in red or bright colors, whenever I’m replacing something.
Here's the thing....Your mom's opinion and what art/fashion tells you is irrelevant to anyone else's personal taste. Some people hate those "neutral" colors like butter yellow. My house was painted that when I bought it. It's now a light and charcoal gray. I still use mostly neutral colors in areas that are lightly used simply for future resale purposes. But heavy use areas, it's easier and cheaper to paint a room in 1 or 2 days than to buy all new accessories when you get sick of certain colored pillows, blankets and wall décor or however you choose to add colors. Interior wise, paint is easy to do and if you intend to be there a while, there's no reason to not do whatever makes you happy at the moment. The only real secret, which is truly at the core of Brett's complaint, is complete monotone coloring, not the color itself.
@@Swearengen1980 I don’t have any problems with Brett’s complaints, I agree, doing something because it’s trendy or simply for social is ridiculous-I don’t like trends and then forcing it on your kids and the toys you buy them is even more ridiculous. I love colors, my house and closet is filled with my favorites. I was simply stating what I’ve come to like over time, which is neutrals, because for me it’s simpler and I constantly like to change colors that I’m into, depending on the season or mood and also having to stare at a certain color, especially a bold red or orange everyday would drive me nuts. I’ve lived with gray, bright orange, dark blue, taupe, soft blue-gray and even a soft pink walls, the latter two are easier but I instinctively had to match everything in my room with the pink walls, which at the time didn’t bother me but now that the room is white, makes so much more room to decorate any way I want as many times as I want. My has always said what she likes but I can do what I want, but I and me alone have come to agree, she hasn’t been my fashion and interior role model my entire life for nothing. Which is what I was saying, stating my opinion and what I like. Anyone can do what they want, but I’ve come to learn from HGTV that neutrals do sell better when selling a house; whether it’s gray, white, or a soft shell cream. But sure paint your walls whatever floats your boat, but me I’ll be sticking to white-it’s airy, bright, and light and it’ll accommodate my ever changing design moods effortlessly which is something I picked up from my mama and that’s what I’m all about!!
@@LysaW. Just gonna throw out, neutrals help homes sell better because it makes it easier for the perspective buyer to imagine the space in whatever color they may want to paint it in or with whatever wallpaper they were thinking.
I qualify for an ADHD diagnosis and the idea of having an all beige house is horrifying. Deep jewel tones + natural wood furniture (esp dark but I have some light wood too) is my jam. ~Thank u 4 the validation ❤❤❤~
Thank You for speaking up for the silent majority. In reality I don't know any moms who care about aesthetics and I think the influencers just hide all the colorful stuff because there's no way their kids aren't receiving colorful toys and blankets from friends and family. It's all for show.
I love colorful stuff!! I have ADHD why did they keep comparing to that? I dress in pastels bright colors and it makes me so happy! I find it to make the world look more exciting
I have ADHD and have been diagnosed with anxiety and I have red, orange, yellow, and bright colors in my home. I love, love it! It brings me joy. My mom decided to paint her house like a white/gray color and it gives me a headache and reminds me of a hospital to be honest.
I have ADD and I can’t stand the plain trend. I purposely painted all my rooms a different color because I LOVE being able to walk into different rooms and feel inspired/creative. My only “beige” room is my bedroom because it helps me unwind BUT I also painted a mountain mural on one wall because it was way to plain
Meeeee tooooo I also have ADD and I hate the color beige so much. When I grow up my house is gonna be full of cheery bright pastel colors, not a drop of beige in sight.
I also have ADHD and I realize that I unconsciously moved towards beige and minimalism not as a trend but cause that’s what makes me comfortable but I still love adding in bright colors every now and again as it fills me with joy. As a designer I’ve also been very annoyed with all the minimalist designs that have been pushed forward. Things no longer feel fun 😢
I've got ADHD too and I've never had a problem with colors! I don't mind having the neutral colors but I do love a pop of color to brighten the atmosphere. My favorite is purple and the girl calling it an inconvenience! Not everyone with ADHD has a problem with colors. I appreciate an accommodation or two, but I can deal with inconveniences. I love colorful stuff. I'm actually the sort who likes a little bit of everything to an extent. So I like the different colors. They're so fun!
This is literally the kind of house they show in movies they wish to make depressing... I agree with this so much... though, I am not the person for the most colourful things and can do with the basics... this is even making me feel dull.
I’ll be honest. I LOVE the vanilla trend because to me, it looks/ feels angelic, feminine and beautiful. And that’s okay! You’re allowed to love a cozy warm colour and decorate how you want :) My home is a little muted with blues, greys and whites… but I like to have things a bit neutral because it’s easier to decorate for seasonal holidays using their bright colours. I bring out velvety reds for Christmas and oranges/ yellows for fall… and other colours throughout the year because it’s just what I love to do for my family as a house wife. Having a completely beige lifestyle is a little much… but I can understand why people are afraid to “taste the rainbow” these days with the lgbtq cult taking over bright colours and making them look mentally ill. Don’t be so hard to judge just yet… we could get back to a place where bright colours can be more accepted.
Make the furniture and walks a neutral color but buy the stuff you have trouble finding very colorful that way they will just and pop and easier to find. I would prefer my home to be a neutral color or pastel and things around to be color
This has been an epidemic for a long time. My husband and I once rented what we dubbed the "beige palace". Since having my own house, nearly every room is painted a vibrant color. Yellow, red, turquoise, teal, emerald green, Robin's egg blue, and even a dusty purple color. I love them all. But, I do prefer my art to be pencil sketches or nature scenes, which go with anything. My house would make the beige queens cringe. 😂
Back in the 90s beige craze, we were told it would increase our home values. I do have to admit that beige is more attractive to me than gray: the color of concrete, cloudy days, and prisons.
Yes! The grey baby nursery trend of 2016-2019 was sooo much worse. Why would u want ur baby in a room that looks cold, damp and depressing?! Beige might be boring but at least it looks warm and cozy.
I agree, my brain feels attacked by too much colour in the home. Plus, I look good in beige. It’s like everyone forgot about the whole grey trend a decade ago that was so much colder. Beige is definitely not as bad lol
@@LeahNPorter tbh, same, although I don't like beige, I like one color rooms, especially earthen grey, sure I don't use adhd or any other shit to justify it, I just like the color, this episode come came off weird to me😂
I love colors neon to pastal, bright to dark. Baige is such a calming color just like grey. Grey is my top two favorite color. People like feeling clam in their home its subjective color choice.
Haha I felt attacked too, but hey if it’s the lazy style then I’m okay with it. Part of the reason it is popular is because it has a lot of traditional style to it. Traditional is and always will come back to being popular. That’s why new homes paint their walls beige or white. It’s a traditional color and easy to paint over. I felt attack lmao but it’s okay cuz I love Brett 😂😂❤
My husband and I were young and newly married when we bought our house. I was also finishing my Bachelor’s Degree at the time. We picked neutral colors for the whole house because we just needed to get something on the walls, and I didn’t have time to discover my taste. A decade later, the only neutral tone left paint wise is in our living room and hallway which are getting ready to be painted soon anyway.
As someone who actually has adhd, that is a horrible reason to avoid color! I have a bright red kitchen that makes me happy, warm tones in other rooms are comforting and the color scheme in the bedroom gives s'mores on a beach vibes. I love color and for a large part of my childhood 'rainbow' was my favorite color (I can't tell you how sad I was when rainbows became political). A beige house would be depressing for me.
I also have ADHD and have been researching it a lot lately and as you likely know it's a lack of stimulation that causes both inattentive and hyperactive ADHD, the inattentive type just slow down/stop paying attention due to lack of stimulation and the hyperactive type create their own stimulation through hyperactivity (my type). Both types do BETTER in stimulated environments, not worse. This bitch in the TikTok doesn't have ADHD and has no idea how ADHD works. It's easier for us to sleep in slightly stimulating spaces, not less (typically, individual preferences still exist). She acts like we get "triggered" into hyperactivity but that's a myth, we don't see a squirrel and suddenly get hyperactive like a dog, we're already hyperactive and that's why we notice the squirrel. If we get back to the baseline stimulation we need to not feel understimulated we actually start behaving closer to "normal" and that's why ADHD meds are stimulants, not depressants. (This is also why for some hyperactive type ADHD people alcohol makes us more hyper despite being a depressant - we need even more stimulation to get to the baseline). Sorry for the wall of text, I can't stand these TikTok cunts and their ADHD lies.
you are so right with the rainbow problem. honestly i am pretty upset that they literally made a part of nature theirs (even tho nature is everyone's) and now i can't have a rainbow as my phone wallpaper cause people will think i'm lgbtq
HOLY CRAP, YES! I actually enjoy how passionate you are about colored rooms/houses (such an important issue) because I feel the same way 😂 I’m so tired of all these boring-ass “aesthetic” rooms & EVERY. SINGLE. F***ING. HGTV show renovating every single project to look like that, aside from some accented colors (that doesn’t make it much better) Back in the mid-late 2000s, my family built our own house that we have lived in since the start of 2009. Because we built it (& we’re tired of beige/neutral EVERYTHING), we had the choice of choosing our own colors for each room. We do have beige in the hallways & den areas because it makes the space feel larger; nothing wrong with that. Most of our house, however, is various shades of blue, green, teal, & even our kitchen which is a beautiful coral orange. My sister has turquoise on walls going in one direction & a light lime green for walls going in the other direction. My bedroom has a friggin’ sky blue ceiling, for crying out loud, with a medium blue on the walls. It’s so much more fun when you have multiple colors in a house because you can play it like each room has a fun, lively or relaxing aesthetic without being boring. Interior design is a very fun hobby for me because it brings out my creative side in a typically scientific mind. I genuinely enjoy helping people play around with colors, patterns, textures, & furniture. It’s a fun game that has long-term effects because ultimately, that is their space where they can unwind & relax, so you want them to genuinely enjoy their space in color & not a depressing beige. Sorry for the long rant, but I just wanted to get this off my chest 😅
everyone is so quick to tell everyone too, I have ADHD but I don't talk about all over the place because that's not the kind of attention I want to be getting
I’ve noticed this trend in the Bible study community. Everyone all of a sudden wants these “aesthetic” highlighters that are so light you can barely see them on the page and technically they come in different colors but you can barely tell them apart!
Not me with a light brown bible and brown faux leather bible cover that looks like a purse with light pastel highlighters. 😂😅 in my defense, you can see the color of the highlighters, but they aren’t dark enough to bleed through. The pages of a bible are always soooo thin
Not @ me who's never highlighted my bible lol Do I get the urge? Absolutely. But I've always wanted one of those bibles with lines for notes in the margins so I can feel okay about writing on the pages without ruining the text xD
ADHD is a real problem for many people, and a lot of people definitely fake having it, but as someone with ADHD, I can say that boring colours do help you unwind at night, and interesting colours help you get up in the morning.
I also have ADD though for me beige I find stifling and if I’m around it too much it irks me. Maybe it’s one of those things that effect people differently on a case-by-case basis
I am completely uninspired by grey/beige surroundings. It reminds me of military barracks. Give me tons of color...in a collected, cohesive and balanced way.
I literally get so many compliments on my children's clothing because they're wearing colors, they aren't covered in mainstream brand logos, and the fact they have cartoon characters on them. They're dressed like children.
For real though. My five year old daughter loves wearing clothes with her favorite characters. I let her wear what she wants because she's not a social media prop.
Honestly, I don't know how I could live without vibrant colors. I am a watercolorist, and I teach watercolor. I have a very intense bright palette, and I cannot live without it. I cannot imagine never having color as a child or seeing colors in my life. I cannot imagine never seeing a rainbow. Colors are what cures my depression and brings me joy. This sad beige trend sounds way too depressing for children to be around. The Kardashians are the last people on the planet you should be looking up to or taking advice from. :/
That's why I love having books all over my room. A bunch of different colors fill the shelves and that's something that certainly catches my eye. Definitely need more color
I have 3 bookcases that are full of books and mementos from my life. Lots of colour and family and friends always ask about both books and other items.
Thats why when I get a house I'm going to live my victorian mansion mixed with western farm dreams ❤ too much of what I see online is the minimilist, "it girl" asthetic, it's driving me up the wall... Also like 99% sure I have ADHD, the color of my walls isnt whats distracting me
Same here! Everyone these days wants to jump to the easy fix - medicating and "removing stimulus" - but I live pretty much the same as I did before I found out I was ADHD, aside from a couple behavioral adjustments. This color cop-out is sad, in more ways than one
EXACTLY! Like you struggle from finding motivation for things you don't find interested in. I could have ADHD, I just can't focus on things I have not interest in. Colors are not a problem, my brain shutting off is😂
@@helloworld5256 100% yes. That's why school was kind of a challenge at times - the stuff I loved, I excelled at. I once accidentally knew more about a steller phenomena than an ameteur astronomer. But math? Biology? 0 interest, couldn't focus and didn't want to. I could out-English anyone in my grade level, but if I didn't want to learn something, my brain just absolutely disengaged
I grew up in the nineties where all the walls were eggshell white but the bathroom and kitchen were heavily THEMED, window dressings were loud, and upolstry was patterned. I live for maximalism. 🥰
It’s funny, I’m pretty sure beige was a direct reponse against the “whole white/grey marble every thing” trend that people are moving away from. Like an attempt to add some colour to the all-white furniture look 😅
As a professional home organizer who spends all day organizing peoples’ chaotic & colorful piles of messy “stuff,” I absolutely love coming home to my minimalist light gray, white, and light blue home filled with green plants (which serve as my color) hahahaha. But I still love you, Brett, don’t worry 😂
I come from a home of clutter, mess, and chaos. Most colors are too much for me. I don’t mind a color per room, but I definitely feel more relaxed in a monochrome pastel room. So I fully plan to make my future home minimalist and chill. (Also, the Montessori beige wood is my favorite. I love it in gray as well.)
Leave me alone 🤣🤣 my whole house is beige but that's because I just like it. It's simple, I can change my furniture colors the way I like. I have a lot of blues through the house and they look sooo good with my beige walls. It's simple, neutral and I don't have to think so much about really anything. I'm more of a gardener I'd rather spend effort outside than decorating the house. Though I do have some old furniture and decorations and tons of plants. But I personally like it simple. We have super colorful stuff otherwise so beige is good so the background isn't the main focus. The colors and furniture are. And I never did the beige toy thing for my kids. I like their fun colorful toys 🤣 until they talk, then I pull the batteries out. 🤣
My friends daughter stayed with me for a month or so whilst they had to work abroad. She was 14. Her mother had her diagnosed with OCD. During her entire stay, not once did she demonstrate any OCD behaviour! I think her mother has Munchausen syndrome!
It's very possible, OCD is a cool diagnosis to have, but, as someone who actually has OCD, I know the symptoms are not always visible. 90% of people in my life have no idea about my disorder, and yet, it plagues me. Sometimes OCD consists of mental rituals rather than physical.
I have OCD and most of my concerning behaviour is hidden from my family and my clothes hide my skin picking, my shoes hide my ripped off toenails, and makeup hides my missing lashes and brows. I beat myself in my room when im alone and i deal with the tormenting intrusive thoughts all by myself in my head in my room. OCD isnt usually visible unless one has a mental breakdown. People might notice me over washing my hands or other my obsession with numbers tho.
One of my favorite tik tokers has become a beige mom. I thought it was a nice Asthetic at first but I knew it went to far when her daughters wanted this adorable sparkly outfit and she was sad they didn’t want this boring hideous beige dress.
Yes! It’s so sad when they involve their kids in their ✨aesthetic✨ and exchange all of their colorful toys and clothes to beige. It’s so gross and sad.
As a girl with ADHD, I will admit that too much color can overwhelm me. However, neutrals tend to put me in a slump. Although colors alone won’t do this to me. There has to be a LOT more going on for it to affect me, such as noise and crowds. So using it as an excuse to only have neutrals is insanely annoying and feels ingenuine. There is more going on below the surface if that causes a spiral, something that only neutrals can’t fix.
Just an offhand mention, I still experience the Mandela effect of remembering buying crayons with beige in them. Back then it was called ‘Skin Color’ 💀
I feel attacked for liking beige and white neutral colours and sitting in my house which is filled with 'bland colours' increases the feeling 😂. And i absolutely can not stand bright walls. It either white or cream for me.. I feel like everyone should have the right to like what they want especially when it comes to colours...
I love cream, beige, white or any neutral colors too but I always incorporate some colors like bright yellow tulips, sage green bedding, brass metals, etc
@@taishakuten5141 Oh yes I do agree. I do have a few bright red roses against my 'bland walls' and few modern art paintings but never too much. It's just some colour to a mostly neutral coloured house.
Same! I incorporate colors in more minimal ways which is reflective of what we see in nature: mostly neutral with splashes of color here and there in flowers, the sun, etc. Heck even animals are mostly neutral colors! Brett's take here is bizarre to me!!!
@@crissyc9831 I do understand Brett’s point of view coz others are overdoing it with the neutral to the point their entire house is only in neutral color
When i moved to the west i was shocked with the lack of colour in clothes. I have since then become confident enough to not care if i stick out in a crowd. I wear red orange green purple etc and i honestly love it.
I'm actually in love with neutral colour palettes, especially when it comes to furniture and the walls. Personally, I think the Japandi interior design is one of the best since it suits my needs pretty well (😂😂😂 and yes, I've received weird stares from people when I say this). However, I just need some flowers, ferns and/or paintings to bring some pop of colour into the space. It's just sad how people are using these themes as an 'escape' when some of us like them just because. These guys are probably people who got 'misgendered' and won't shut up about how they are being 'oppressed'. Ah yes, what a time to be alive 😪😪😪
What do you buy your kids beige clothes and beach toys? Is there room nothing but beige? As an adult I don't give two rats butts what people do. But it's the children that are being hurt by this.
I think people forget that beige comes in different tones too like they have cool toned beige and warm toned beige. I mean there is a range of beige. My house is beige-ish with browns and reds its all warmer colors.
I have adhd (diagnosed) and work as a creative designer, I like having a muted house with muted colours, my bedroom is sage green and dusky pink, I love it. I’m surrounded by creative colours all the time I like unwinding in my house.
I, too, have adhd but my house is painted in pastels and deep jewel tones of greens, blues, purples, and oranges. My goal was quirky cottage. I despise beige and greige. Yuck.
Yeah but those colours still sound fairly calming and gentle for the most part, deep greens tend to take us back to nature. You don't have to go beige to be calming. @@MamaofMushrooms
I would like (for once) disagree on this one. The scandinavian color pallette became a thing with the Minimalistic trend, it makes rooms look bigger, neat and clean. But at the same time, it makes stuff (plants, art and paintings) look more colorful. But this is just my opinion...
Brett is just narcissistic sometimes. She thinks because she likes color that everyone else should. She thinks she’s perfect and people should be like her. I like her content a lot, but she constantly uses herself and her experiences to compare things different than her. It’s weird.
I’m a boomer and although my home is predominately light grey, slate grey and natural oak I do have a purple sofa plopped right in my living room! I hate beige my mother dressed me in it from head to foot as a child. It made me so very sad.
Not really. Just think young rich white girl and you will find they all look like that. At least it's not beige and borrowing but it does scream i've got more money then I know what to do with
I do decorate my daughter’s room in neutral colours so that the actual toys which are in bright colour can be the point of focus. And yes she has more than one Elmo stuffie 😅
My mother in law is a maximalist when it comes to decor and we lived with her for 6 months while looking for a house to buy. One guest room was butter yellow with red and brown accents, the other was that teenager teal blue that was popular in the mid 2000s in teen girl rooms, all it was missing were posters from tiger beat magazine. Anyway they lived on 5 acres surrounded by forest and any chance the weather was remotely nice I sat out on their bench swing because being inside was overwhelming and stressed me out. Now that we have our own house, my walls are a sage green throughout with wood accents everywhere with white and black and light blue accents and paintings of wild flowers and pine trees and nature scenes. I’m so much happier in my own home
@@crissyc9831 because she’s allowed to. It doesn’t hurt anyone for her to have this opinion, and she’s certainly not alone in it. Y’all are here pretending that it’s dumb or something for her to just have an opinion (no matter how strong) on a different subject. Chill, if this is a conversation you don’t care about, it won’t hurt anyone to just not watch.
Same… I have never liked the chaotic color scheme all over the place look. I think whites/grays and beige go with anything so you can add small pops of color if you are wanting some color but nothing to intense. It’s a weird thing to be upset or make a video on but that’s just my opinion 🤷🏻♀️
i have real ADHD, diagnosed in the second grade. and i do not get triggered by the color of the walls 😭. and it’s so irritating when people are like “oh i can’t focus today, i must have adhd” yuck
I recently moved to a new house and my living room is all neutral colors. It’s so beautiful and peaceful , it’s my favourite room in the house. I can’t wait to do the same with my bedroom🥰
As someone currently decorating my home and actually getting rid of beige walls I am glad to see I’m not the only one who hates beige everywhere, I love to have all sorts of colors!
Yeah I hate this trend so much 😂 My SIL's house is the epitome of sad beige and it's not calming or relaxing at all! It feels like trying to socialize in a show room where you're afraid to breathe on anything. I love my chaotic yellow and blue house with the bright furniture and the family made paintings. The bright colors help with the winter sadness 🤣
Dani Dazey is one of my absolute favorite interior designers right now. Her aesthetic is the exact opposite of this beige nothingness, and it is so live-giving and joyful. Everything is bright and colorful and HAPPY
I generally like neutral colours like grey, brown, beige and olive etc over bright colours, but not because of how it makes me feel. I just like it 😂 I don't think about the psychology of why I like it. It ain't that deep
I feel like the natural colors elevate your look, you look more mature and put together and it's more versatile you can create tons of different outfits if you stick to natural colors like beige
I've always dome the opposite of what the herd does. Currently in my colorful era. Painted my nails in different pretty colors. Travelling to sardinia to surround myself with blue and green. My clothes are a soft summer: lots of warm pinks, corals, aquamarine, light orange. My dreams look like pink tulip fields with lilac sunsets. I'm spiritually into the orange chakra, and am eating more orange and red foods and surrounding myself with warmer colors. I am so tired of this sterile environment with blue light, blue social media, drab clothes, black souls, grey skies. Not for me thanks. I might move to Sardinia permanently if I like this.
As someone diagnosed with adhd I find bright and exciting colors calming. Colors such as beige and etc. if not paired with an exciting color or piece of art work/furniture feels cold and prison like. ❤
With that art work that was shown in the video I just felt irritated I would give that to a artist and say go wild not even a ADHD thing just annoyed by bad art
I have ADHD and aspergers syndrome (autism lite). I thrived in the chaos of line-cooking. I have a simple personal aesthetic, and love classical art, but chaos is not something (many) people with ADHD fight - it's something we learn to live with and take advantage of.
I was into sad beige while I was in fashion design school. I think I was a bit overwhelmed and just felt it calmed me. So I made my room white and black. Now, I’m in gap semester awaiting Bachelor’s and sad beige is making me sad😂. I’m making an orange velvet comforter right now, adding blue accents, and textures in my room. As a creative who loves color, idk how I thought that would make me happy.
I’m not huge on bright colors and being surrounded by a ton of different colors. But my house is not bland either! i have greens, reds, blacks, etc.. just in smaller doses and not super bright and in your face. My sons room has blue and green blankets and bins. My daughters room as pinks, greens, reds, oranges and browns. It doesn’t have to be beige to not be overwhelming lol
As someone that has DIAGNOSED ADHD this generation has made it a joke. It's something I struggle with so much and wouldn't wish on anyone, on bad days I struggle to do things I WANT to do. I can't explain it but its not a joke and it's really a struggle, this generation is the joke
Browns and greys, Stained glass windows, dyed wools and carpets, stained woods and yellow lighting are all interesting and neutral colouring that could be used instead of beige and are all more traditional then a theme invented in the 90s
I'm keeping my beige, black, white, and leather style 😂 I love how clean and simple it is. Now my kids don't have beige toys or clothes, just my house.
I love beige and taupe. I can't afford to redo my house every couple of years but I can change out accessories. Beige goes great with lots of colors. I might get tired of a red sofa but won't with a beige one that can be accessorized with lots of different colors to give it a completely different look.

This remind me of a book called The Giver. Basically a dystopian society where the people don’t see colors and don’t feel real feelings. Everything is “safe” and no one is different. They are assigned jobs and spouses. At this point we are only a few steps away from this.
We won't be too far from Fahrenheit 451 either, sadly.
Or the movie Idiocracy!!
I read that book in English class nearly 10 years ago, good book, and I know it wasn't the author's intentions, but I agree, it reminds me so much of the world we're currently living in.
Im reading that in English class!
I don't see this because modern society is exceptionally degenerate. What's happening is the passive-aggressive "accommodate my uniqueness" cry for attention that has its roots in the intersectional Woke movement.
I'm a minimalist and LOVE the Scandinavian aesthetic, but involvement with color is important for children! I actually utilize psychology and leave white, black, and beige for my workspaces so that I'm not distracted and I can be more efficient, but personal spaces are colorful!
Also I love that Brett is wearing beige for this episode 😂
Children can be overwhelmed/overstimulated by color too. They also need to relax, sleep, and have space to think.
@@Ayverie4 Definitely. It's all about the right color choices for each space in a home
@@Ayverie4 Honestly, when Brett mentioned that purple helped with focus, I never knew that, but now it makes sense as to why I focused so well on hw when I was at my dad's house as a teenager. My room wasn't purple purple where it was a light purple, but it wasn't lavendar toned purple, either.
There's always ways to mix/match colors that appeals to the child themselves as long as it's not too bright ofc. I get curious and have been looking at houses and depending on the state you look in, you'll see some interesting colored rooms in some states within some homes, but those are easy fixes imo. I remember seeing one room that was basically pitch black in 1 of the pictures and I think the other wall was like partial black and partial white (it was an interesting combination)-b/c it was diagonal or something like that. But ngl, it looked really really cool to me almost like an easy to sleep in room despite it looking a tad on the creepy side too lol.
About the colors being over-stimulating for ADHD individuals: This is prob. true to an extent but not true for all of them b/c in this case; u have to find the right color combos for urself. Ex: Find a warm tone/cool tone to mix together. I understand say the walls being like Gray or off white or something like that, but add pops of color here and there throughout the house. I know the colors I want for my walls for my room, but I'd rather wait until I get a chance to move out for that to happen. My closet is full of colorful clothes b/c I hate plain & boring colors lol. The majority of my clothes are patterned. I have a few solid colors here and there, but would I really want to wear black all the time? - sorry to those who do wear this color all the time, but nope not me. No joke, I even have a tie-dye zodiac shirt lol.
My room in daylight is white, beige, light pink. But when it turns dark, I turn on all my RGB and galaxy lights because it's time to have fun after all that focus on daytime. I have adhd so I really prefer the beige aesthetic on focus time, but sorry, not at fun time.
As an artist, neutral colors like beige as your base are fine, so long as you decorate over it with paintings, colorful images, wall hangings, tapestries, fun posters, etc. And I'm not talking about the soulless abstract or generic art you can find at any home decor shop, but street fair, romanticism, landscapes, and classical bursting with personality. You'll go nuts and be depressed with just plain beige
Exactly.
Yeah, I keep seeing this color in interior designs for homes and while it looks calm and neat, it's kinda boring and monotonous.
I had a beige home for a couple years and I was extremely depressed in those times, once I moved from my town I decided to add color to my decor and i literally feel the happiest I’ve felt in years. I thought I needed a beige home to feel more clarity, but adding colors is what I really needed
❤
I love natural wood and rattan but everything else has color in my house 😂. Glad you added in color. It really is beautiful to have some fun colors in your home. It makes my heart happy! ❤
Or maybe it was just the town.
Well, beige or white are great colors for main elements of house in case if you have a lot of colored details: plants, paintings, rugs etc. Same for dress: it's greaf to combine beige with bright colors. Otherwise it's boring.
@Olga Voronina
Yeah, white, beige, and grey are good _base_ colors for the more vibrant colors in a home. The eyes need to rest somewhere and get stimulated elsewhere.

I can’t imagine why people would be getting tired of “too much color” lol

I knew this comment would be here, you said it better than I could!
Lmao thought exactly the same
Grew up in a total beige household. I would always complain to my parents. Then when I was a teenager, they let me paint my room any color..I chose lime green on two walls and neon blue the other two walls with a black ceiling 😂 that’s a parenting win for my folks 🙏
Lime green, neon blue, and black? That's a colour combo I've NEVER heard of in my life xDDDD
After living with it, did you like it?
In high school I got to build my own room out of a part of the basement (own bathroom too). And I got to choose the colour of the room. Dark Grey carpet with black trimming on the floor, and HIGH GLOSS purple walls and ceiling. Was awesome. Room was really bright when the sad little light was on.
I wanted black ceilings, purple wall and green ASTRO turf carpet. My dad bought periwinkle paint, blue-ish carpet an white ceiling. Lol.
I remember I got my first bedroom when I was 14 and my grandpa let me pick what furniture I wanted. I got a bed with a sideboard on it and a dresser. I don't have a nightstand or a closet or lamp in my room. Parenting fail.
People that have to much beige have a rare condition called “colour blandness”
i know too many people with colour blandness them
LMAO! 😂I'll definitely have to remember this one.
You win best comment 👏
Then Kim K has a serious diagnosis
Wouldn’t call it rare. 😅
Not gonna lie... 90% of my house is painted some form of beige and off white. 😂 I love neutrals. They are calming. I've been a SAHM for 12 years and spend most of my time at home, and I couldn't imagine looking at bold colors all day. But my kids' rooms, toys, clothes, have always been colorful.
I painted my kitchen yellow once. I loved it.
I can definitely relate. Kids' stuff is so colorful and busy!
My house is decorated neutral and green and black. But my daughter's nursery has color. I mean it's got a vintage flare with colorful quilts and stuff, and all her toys are normal and bright.
My family has the walls painted in neutral colors and they make the rooms colorful with decorations, I think it works good because you can change the colors as your tastes change
I like Earth tones but not just brown and beige. I like greens and blues and some grayish purples, a little bit of some red here and there. I find it very relaxing to have a "feel" of nature on the inside with a good view of the outside.
I never knew someone thought the same way I do about colors!!
As a previous house painter, people seem to want those neutral colours because it’s good for reselling their house at a later date. And others bc it’s a rental end don’t want any colours to offend their tenants. I think it’s a symptom of people not settling long enough or stuck renting. Rich clients on the other hand have lots of colours.
My parents had this mentality with our house and we have been living in a beige house for 18 years. I feel like in some cases people just end up living for the potential next owner of the house and don't enjoy the house for themselves.
As a tenant I do appreciate the neutral colored walls because it gives a nice base for adding your own style and colors the way you want. I love starting off neutral and adding color into the decor or furniture.
Also a house painter here, I was always dismayed w when clients wanted white or beige.... then red would be a bit of a nightmare because of all the coats needed to completely cover
Very good point, Brett is too young and hasn't owned a home or rented long enough to know the. This knowledgeable you're pointing out unfortunately only comes with experience and time, so I can't fault Brett too much
People need to live in the moment, not in “what if”
I love that everyone suddenly has ADHD now and it’s even a personality trait now
I was diagnosed when I was six Imagine how I feel bro everybody just coming out and saying that they have adhd without a doctor's note to back it up and meds Shits fucked up And because there's a whole bunch of new people with adhd Meds are low smh
@@TheAmericanNostalgistthat sounds like a nightmare 😕
@@TheAmericanNostalgist I was clinically diagnosed in the 5th grade so I feel you pain.
Was diagnosed as a kid, it's the worst. I have to work twice as hard to do good in Uni. Nothing is good or quirky about having ADHD. I also got it from being exposed to lead as a kid. So yeah, these people just want to be special.
And now is "good to have ADHD". There's a makeup artist I follow, she's supposedly autistic. She had one post in which she was promoting some noise-cancelling headphones, supposedly for people with autistic traits that need less noise, and I shit you not, the post started with: "Being autistic is AWESOME, however"...
How, when? How is having ANY kind of difficulty "awesome"? It's become a fashion, something nice to have.
I work in antiques and am a country-kitsch queen who hates the “scandinavian but make it soulless” aesthetic so your rant just made my day lol
Yea, that whole Scandivian if not boho chic or mid-century (for men) is starting to get bland.
I like "Scandinavian but with pops of cheerful color and fun decorations". That's my aesthetic right now since "modern fantasy" and Japanese cherry blossom decor isn't really in right now. 🙁
YES I actually buy old books and kids artwork from the 40's and 50's to decorate my lil girls room. The artwork is so sweet and she loves it. She actually has wall plaques of a boy and girl praying with an angel above. Can't find that in today's world!
@@daniellamarquez9482 I LOVE that idea! I make postcards with old children’s books but kids decor- that sounds absolutely magical!
@@Major003 Scandinavian design is so timeless it’s just a shame when it’s done with zero fun! Also you should totally bring back the cherry blossoms (i myself am a big fan of chinoiserie lol)
I don’t mind the beige color scheme when it is paired with plants and greenery. They MATCH so well together that it’s essential to have them as contrasting colors.
Like nature! Nature knows balance
Exactly! I prefer to have beige, but match it with other colors and colors that represent nature.
Not to be too semantic… (proceeds to be semantic) lol but that’s not matching. To match means be the same. The word you’re looking for is coordinate, or pair. Like my walnut furniture coordinates well with my white and gray bedding… they don’t match. Not hating on anything just tryin’ to be helpful! 😁
True, the beige really makes the greenery pop.
yes, same!
My problem is that I quickly grow sick of “real colors.” I’d much rather keep my walls and big furniture beige and accessorize with color as my taste changes.
This is exactly what I do. Much easier to change things in the future that way.
Yep. Same here.
That's fair. Having a neutral base color with more easily changeable colored accessories (art, pillows, blankets, rugs) sounds awesome actually! Beige is only sad when there's no other color or anything to go with it.
That's where pastel colors come in handy.
I actually like grey neutral towns. But glue and beige is really hitting the spot. The rustic old timy and vintage stuff I collect goes so well with it. Like the wood wagon wheel I have hanged on the wall or the steering wheel from an old ship. Or the random anchor I have hanging in my bedroom. It's kinda cool.
I do a lot of housekeeping, and I secretly judge people whose homes are nothing but plain beige, generic Scandinavian furniture, and abstract soulless art. If you can afford a housekeeper, you can afford a personality
😂😂😂😂😂😂my favorite comment!!!!😘😘
There's nothing wrong with beige though. It's pretty.
@@breewashere I have another comment where I explain beige is a fine base color, but if you decorate your house in nothing but grays, whites, and beige, you're boring and going to drive yourself and everyone who lives in your house crazy. You need color in your life
@@tabithaalphess2115 Look into japanese feng shui. There's no reason for people to be judging other people by how they choose to decorate their house. It's weird.
@@breewashere yeah I'm not doing that
Beige and nothing else for people too afraid or too boring to have a personality. Your house is a reflection of your mind and inner life. If your house has boring and generic decorations, that says a lot about you, and I will judge
I absolutely love beige. But my kids don’t have to fit my aesthetic. Their mental development and personal development is 100% more important. I can wear what I want and they can do what they want with their own space and sense of style. I don’t get how anyone else could see otherwise it’s insane.
Agreed! They need to allow children to see all kinds of colors and have their own aesthetic.
Agreed. I'm obsessed with all things millennial grey, but I didn't want a depressing grey baby in a depressing grey nursery, so I went with white furniture and bright gemstone rainbow colors for all the accents. It's very pretty and cheerful. I want my home to look like a child lives here, a child who is allowed to exist outside of her room. All these people who want their homes to look like a child doesn't live there need to take a step back and figure out why they had a child in the first place.
As someone with ADHD, I HATE when people use it as an excuse or a crutch to do dumb stuff or claim they need tons extra attention. We’re perfectly capable of being useful members of society, as long as we’re willing to practice some self discipline. Unfortunately it seems like even that is too much to ask sometimes.
What do you mean with self discipline?
@@McLovin-ko3ff I’d say it means creating routines and habits that help accomplish tasks, without demanding that others must cater to it. It can be more complex than that but, that’s how I’d define it generally.
Exactly!! I'm doing basically the same things I did before I found out I have ADHD, only now I understand why my body and brain does certain things, and I can adapt to it. I was honestly a little miserable before I realized what was going on - thought I was too stupid or not focused enough - but now I can pivot around the problems that come up, and I can even use some of the things that come from having ADHD to perform better at my job and house chores. A little discipline goes a long way
Dude, I have a coworker who smells bad ans her excuse is that she has adhd and doesn't remember to do her laundry ...
Thank you! It's on me to manage my symptoms. And I LOVE vibrant colors.
I'm a woman in my 30s, and you know what my house decor ~aesthetic~ is? Something that looks cozy, warm, rustic, cute, and almost like a grandma house. lol. When people visit, I intend to make my house look comfortable, happy, and welcoming.
EDIT: And colorful! I love having color in my house!
Where do you find inspiration? My house walls are grey and my decoration is neutral colors. I want to incorporate more ~color~ without it looking forced 😢
The easiest solution is to paint the walls a color that makes you happy, haha. But if you don't want to bother with that sort of thing, then start with just one color in one room. If you add little things in that color, like throw pillows, or just some fun knick knacks, it adds pops of color that makes the room look more fun, but cohesive.
For example, I moved into a house that has a completely black and white kitchen. I bought red kitchen appliances, towels, curtains, napkin holders, etc to add pops of color. My kitchen now has the color scheme of an old fashioned diner, and it makes me happy. :)
@@spiderleenie Thank you! I do have a "yellow room" that makes me happy... need to add some more pops in other rooms I think.
Happy decorating! 😊

I love that Brett’s assumed motto is “go touch grass” sums up this generation quite well.

@@Asmiism well, hard to say. I've seen color have a big comeback especially for spring/summer and I'm still not drawn to it. I prefer classy tones, minimalistic hues. They just speak to my heart more :)
Must’ve been a slow news-cycle day to make a video complaining about beige.🤣
My mom who is the artist and who studied art and fashion has taught me that keeping your base neutral is key, because it’s so much easier to match and change the “fun” colors as your tastes change and I’ve come to agree. I like neutrals, it’s simpler that way and when I do sprinkle some color like yellow, well it’ll always match!! And nude/blush pink, soft/light blue, navy, moss/olive green and even a butter yellow are also considered neutrals…so yay, color-which I love!!!
All those colors you mentioned at the end are what I’m gravitating towards these days! I didn’t realize they were technically neutrals. I’ve noticed I often choose white or a soft color when purchasing any new items for my home, rather than my old favorite of red. I’m not against color, but I definitely put the brakes on collecting everything in red or bright colors, whenever I’m replacing something.
Here's the thing....Your mom's opinion and what art/fashion tells you is irrelevant to anyone else's personal taste. Some people hate those "neutral" colors like butter yellow. My house was painted that when I bought it. It's now a light and charcoal gray. I still use mostly neutral colors in areas that are lightly used simply for future resale purposes. But heavy use areas, it's easier and cheaper to paint a room in 1 or 2 days than to buy all new accessories when you get sick of certain colored pillows, blankets and wall décor or however you choose to add colors. Interior wise, paint is easy to do and if you intend to be there a while, there's no reason to not do whatever makes you happy at the moment. The only real secret, which is truly at the core of Brett's complaint, is complete monotone coloring, not the color itself.
@@Swearengen1980 I don’t have any problems with Brett’s complaints, I agree, doing something because it’s trendy or simply for social is ridiculous-I don’t like trends and then forcing it on your kids and the toys you buy them is even more ridiculous.

I was simply stating what I’ve come to like over time, which is neutrals, because for me it’s simpler and I constantly like to change colors that I’m into, depending on the season or mood and also having to stare at a certain color, especially a bold red or orange everyday would drive me nuts. I’ve lived with gray, bright orange, dark blue, taupe, soft blue-gray and even a soft pink walls, the latter two are easier but I instinctively had to match everything in my room with the pink walls, which at the time didn’t bother me but now that the room is white, makes so much more room to decorate any way I want as many times as I want. My has always said what she likes but I can do what I want, but I and me alone have come to agree, she hasn’t been my fashion and interior role model my entire life for nothing. Which is what I was saying, stating my opinion and what I like. Anyone can do what they want, but I’ve come to learn from HGTV that neutrals do sell better when selling a house; whether it’s gray, white, or a soft shell cream. But sure paint your walls whatever floats your boat, but me I’ll be sticking to white-it’s airy, bright, and light and it’ll accommodate my ever changing design moods effortlessly which is something I picked up from my mama and that’s what I’m all about!!
Yes! Yellow is my go to color when I add it! Yellow reminds me of happiness and it brightens up the home 😊
@@LysaW. Just gonna throw out, neutrals help homes sell better because it makes it easier for the perspective buyer to imagine the space in whatever color they may want to paint it in or with whatever wallpaper they were thinking.
Holy shit, I can blame all my shortcomings on a color I was exposed to as a child?! This is a game changer! A whole new way of dodging accountability!
Non-color, really. It's the most boring shade to exist on anything other than footwear and sandals
I know, right!
I qualify for an ADHD diagnosis and the idea of having an all beige house is horrifying. Deep jewel tones + natural wood furniture (esp dark but I have some light wood too) is my jam. ~Thank u 4 the validation ❤❤❤~
Thank You for speaking up for the silent majority. In reality I don't know any moms who care about aesthetics and I think the influencers just hide all the colorful stuff because there's no way their kids aren't receiving colorful toys and blankets from friends and family. It's all for show.
I love colorful stuff!! I have ADHD why did they keep comparing to that? I dress in pastels bright colors and it makes me so happy! I find it to make the world look more exciting
I always hated grey/white interior homes. Makes me feel like I’m at the Dentist/Doctor’s office.
as an interior designer i 10000000% agree w u
The gray trend has to goooo
Or bare concrete walls
@@conchispita It is already leaving.
@@vaderladyl please tell my clients that 😭
I have ADHD and have been diagnosed with anxiety and I have red, orange, yellow, and bright colors in my home. I love, love it! It brings me joy. My mom decided to paint her house like a white/gray color and it gives me a headache and reminds me of a hospital to be honest.
Shoutout to brett for wearing a potato sack to stand with the kids in africa that could have eaten the food that i never finished.
Did we have the same parents?
🤣
No you didn't 💀😭
😂
😆😆
I find that earth tone colours are more calming than all beige. Think forest green, terracotta, rich browns, olive green, etc.
Nature is generally relaxing for us so that doesn't surprise me. I am the same, my room is mostly wood and some other earth tones.
I’m more of a grey, purples person. I don’t mind the sad, depressing colors.
@@TheClintonio same here! Love wood, especially walnut wood.
@@karami8844purple is the most repulsive colour for me.
That is the beauty of nature, it is always relaxing
I have ADD and I can’t stand the plain trend. I purposely painted all my rooms a different color because I LOVE being able to walk into different rooms and feel inspired/creative. My only “beige” room is my bedroom because it helps me unwind BUT I also painted a mountain mural on one wall because it was way to plain
Meeeee tooooo I also have ADD and I hate the color beige so much. When I grow up my house is gonna be full of cheery bright pastel colors, not a drop of beige in sight.
I also have ADHD and I realize that I unconsciously moved towards beige and minimalism not as a trend but cause that’s what makes me comfortable but I still love adding in bright colors every now and again as it fills me with joy. As a designer I’ve also been very annoyed with all the minimalist designs that have been pushed forward. Things no longer feel fun 😢
I've got ADHD too and I've never had a problem with colors! I don't mind having the neutral colors but I do love a pop of color to brighten the atmosphere. My favorite is purple and the girl calling it an inconvenience! Not everyone with ADHD has a problem with colors. I appreciate an accommodation or two, but I can deal with inconveniences. I love colorful stuff. I'm actually the sort who likes a little bit of everything to an extent. So I like the different colors. They're so fun!
This is literally the kind of house they show in movies they wish to make depressing...
I agree with this so much... though, I am not the person for the most colourful things and can do with the basics... this is even making me feel dull.
I’ll be honest. I LOVE the vanilla trend because to me, it looks/ feels angelic, feminine and beautiful. And that’s okay! You’re allowed to love a cozy warm colour and decorate how you want :) My home is a little muted with blues, greys and whites… but I like to have things a bit neutral because it’s easier to decorate for seasonal holidays using their bright colours. I bring out velvety reds for Christmas and oranges/ yellows for fall… and other colours throughout the year because it’s just what I love to do for my family as a house wife. Having a completely beige lifestyle is a little much… but I can understand why people are afraid to “taste the rainbow” these days with the lgbtq cult taking over bright colours and making them look mentally ill. Don’t be so hard to judge just yet… we could get back to a place where bright colours can be more accepted.
As someone who has focusing issues, I would go insane if everything was beige. I lose stuff too easily, so I buy it in the brightest colors I can. 😂
Make the furniture and walks a neutral color but buy the stuff you have trouble finding very colorful that way they will just and pop and easier to find. I would prefer my home to be a neutral color or pastel and things around to be color
To each their own. I have focusing issues and lots of bright colors really overwhelm me and stress me out.
I'm with you, Brett. Beige is dull. Beige is blah. There are so many beautiful colors in the world we can choose from!!
Yeah but most of those colors shouldn’t be the color of your walls.
ok clown 🤡
@@lazcoroner1483 idk a pretty pink on the walls sounds good
Grey is far, far worse.
Revelation chapter 3. Verses fifteen and sixteen.
This has been an epidemic for a long time. My husband and I once rented what we dubbed the "beige palace". Since having my own house, nearly every room is painted a vibrant color. Yellow, red, turquoise, teal, emerald green, Robin's egg blue, and even a dusty purple color. I love them all. But, I do prefer my art to be pencil sketches or nature scenes, which go with anything. My house would make the beige queens cringe. 😂
Back in the 90s beige craze, we were told it would increase our home values. I do have to admit that beige is more attractive to me than gray: the color of concrete, cloudy days, and prisons.
For real. Everything is being made gray these days. At least beige is warm and boring over cold and boring.
Yes! The grey baby nursery trend of 2016-2019 was sooo much worse. Why would u want ur baby in a room that looks cold, damp and depressing?! Beige might be boring but at least it looks warm and cozy.
I like my walls in my house beige but not any of my furniture and definitely not my clothes
If I _MUST_ rent and live in neutrals, which I do not like doing, then I prefer a middletone cool green-gray or beige.
I thought I hated the tan of the early 2000s but gray is so much worse. Prison is exactly the right description for gray interiors.
I identify as liking beige and other earth tone colors. I feel personally attacked right now.
I agree, my brain feels attacked by too much colour in the home. Plus, I look good in beige. It’s like everyone forgot about the whole grey trend a decade ago that was so much colder. Beige is definitely not as bad lol
@@LeahNPorter tbh, same, although I don't like beige, I like one color rooms, especially earthen grey, sure I don't use adhd or any other shit to justify it, I just like the color, this episode come came off weird to me😂
Same 😭
I love colors neon to pastal, bright to dark. Baige is such a calming color just like grey. Grey is my top two favorite color. People like feeling clam in their home its subjective color choice.
Haha I felt attacked too, but hey if it’s the lazy style then I’m okay with it. Part of the reason it is popular is because it has a lot of traditional style to it. Traditional is and always will come back to being popular. That’s why new homes paint their walls beige or white. It’s a traditional color and easy to paint over. I felt attack lmao but it’s okay cuz I love Brett 😂😂❤
My husband and I were young and newly married when we bought our house. I was also finishing my Bachelor’s Degree at the time. We picked neutral colors for the whole house because we just needed to get something on the walls, and I didn’t have time to discover my taste. A decade later, the only neutral tone left paint wise is in our living room and hallway which are getting ready to be painted soon anyway.
I think everyone should have the right to decorate their house how they want to 😂 if its not your style then thats fine, but some of us like it 😏
Wow that's deep.
Everyone does have that right. You can decorate your home however you want to, you're the one who lives there.
@@huitrecouture no the problem is it’s not deep at all and we get a whole video about it
Thank you. Couldn't agree more!
As someone who actually has adhd, that is a horrible reason to avoid color! I have a bright red kitchen that makes me happy, warm tones in other rooms are comforting and the color scheme in the bedroom gives s'mores on a beach vibes. I love color and for a large part of my childhood 'rainbow' was my favorite color (I can't tell you how sad I was when rainbows became political).
A beige house would be depressing for me.
I also have ADHD and have been researching it a lot lately and as you likely know it's a lack of stimulation that causes both inattentive and hyperactive ADHD, the inattentive type just slow down/stop paying attention due to lack of stimulation and the hyperactive type create their own stimulation through hyperactivity (my type). Both types do BETTER in stimulated environments, not worse. This bitch in the TikTok doesn't have ADHD and has no idea how ADHD works. It's easier for us to sleep in slightly stimulating spaces, not less (typically, individual preferences still exist).
She acts like we get "triggered" into hyperactivity but that's a myth, we don't see a squirrel and suddenly get hyperactive like a dog, we're already hyperactive and that's why we notice the squirrel. If we get back to the baseline stimulation we need to not feel understimulated we actually start behaving closer to "normal" and that's why ADHD meds are stimulants, not depressants. (This is also why for some hyperactive type ADHD people alcohol makes us more hyper despite being a depressant - we need even more stimulation to get to the baseline).
Sorry for the wall of text, I can't stand these TikTok cunts and their ADHD lies.
you are so right with the rainbow problem. honestly i am pretty upset that they literally made a part of nature theirs (even tho nature is everyone's) and now i can't have a rainbow as my phone wallpaper cause people will think i'm lgbtq
HOLY CRAP, YES! I actually enjoy how passionate you are about colored rooms/houses (such an important issue) because I feel the same way 😂
I’m so tired of all these boring-ass “aesthetic” rooms & EVERY. SINGLE. F***ING. HGTV show renovating every single project to look like that, aside from some accented colors (that doesn’t make it much better)
Back in the mid-late 2000s, my family built our own house that we have lived in since the start of 2009. Because we built it (& we’re tired of beige/neutral EVERYTHING), we had the choice of choosing our own colors for each room.
We do have beige in the hallways & den areas because it makes the space feel larger; nothing wrong with that. Most of our house, however, is various shades of blue, green, teal, & even our kitchen which is a beautiful coral orange. My sister has turquoise on walls going in one direction & a light lime green for walls going in the other direction. My bedroom has a friggin’ sky blue ceiling, for crying out loud, with a medium blue on the walls.
It’s so much more fun when you have multiple colors in a house because you can play it like each room has a fun, lively or relaxing aesthetic without being boring. Interior design is a very fun hobby for me because it brings out my creative side in a typically scientific mind. I genuinely enjoy helping people play around with colors, patterns, textures, & furniture. It’s a fun game that has long-term effects because ultimately, that is their space where they can unwind & relax, so you want them to genuinely enjoy their space in color & not a depressing beige.
Sorry for the long rant, but I just wanted to get this off my chest 😅
100% she did not research anything to do with ADHD colouring. Plus ADHD is Massively overdiagnosed in today's clown world!!!
The DSM-V keeps modifying it to put boys on medication
I think over consuming of media leads to similar symptoms as adhd but if they would cut their consum they would function normally
If it was a Clown World there would be color not beige
True
everyone is so quick to tell everyone too, I have ADHD but I don't talk about all over the place because that's not the kind of attention I want to be getting
I’ve noticed this trend in the Bible study community. Everyone all of a sudden wants these “aesthetic” highlighters that are so light you can barely see them on the page and technically they come in different colors but you can barely tell them apart!
Not me with a light brown bible and brown faux leather bible cover that looks like a purse with light pastel highlighters. 😂😅 in my defense, you can see the color of the highlighters, but they aren’t dark enough to bleed through. The pages of a bible are always soooo thin
Not @ me who's never highlighted my bible lol
Do I get the urge? Absolutely. But I've always wanted one of those bibles with lines for notes in the margins so I can feel okay about writing on the pages without ruining the text xD
As a interior design student my professors encourages us to use colorful palettes. And I agree as well as my professors beige is a lazy excuse 9:46
ADHD is a real problem for many people, and a lot of people definitely fake having it, but as someone with ADHD, I can say that boring colours do help you unwind at night, and interesting colours help you get up in the morning.
Me too! I never realized how soothing it is for my ADHD. I’ve gone minimalist for the past 3 years and it helps so much.
I also have ADD though for me beige I find stifling and if I’m around it too much it irks me. Maybe it’s one of those things that effect people differently on a case-by-case basis
@@ryanmaclean1720 Yes it is case by case. This thing about putting out a one cure fits all is not realistic.
@@vaderladyl makes sense esspecialy since the DSM5 for whatever reason decided to mesh ADD and ADHD together for whatever reason
I am completely uninspired by grey/beige surroundings. It reminds me of military barracks. Give me tons of color...in a collected, cohesive and balanced way.
I literally get so many compliments on my children's clothing because they're wearing colors, they aren't covered in mainstream brand logos, and the fact they have cartoon characters on them.
They're dressed like children.
For real though. My five year old daughter loves wearing clothes with her favorite characters. I let her wear what she wants because she's not a social media prop.
Honestly, I don't know how I could live without vibrant colors. I am a watercolorist, and I teach watercolor. I have a very intense bright palette, and I cannot live without it. I cannot imagine never having color as a child or seeing colors in my life. I cannot imagine never seeing a rainbow. Colors are what cures my depression and brings me joy. This sad beige trend sounds way too depressing for children to be around. The Kardashians are the last people on the planet you should be looking up to or taking advice from. :/
That's why I love having books all over my room. A bunch of different colors fill the shelves and that's something that certainly catches my eye. Definitely need more color
I don't like colours so much but the colours books give to the room is great. I like to have it too
I have 3 bookcases that are full of books and mementos from my life. Lots of colour and family and friends always ask about both books and other items.
I want to move into my own house, where most of the space is empty, and the walls are white.
Thats why when I get a house I'm going to live my victorian mansion mixed with western farm dreams ❤ too much of what I see online is the minimilist, "it girl" asthetic, it's driving me up the wall...
Also like 99% sure I have ADHD, the color of my walls isnt whats distracting me
I’m the exact same way. I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD and colorful objects have zero to do my issues lol 😂
Same here! Everyone these days wants to jump to the easy fix - medicating and "removing stimulus" - but I live pretty much the same as I did before I found out I was ADHD, aside from a couple behavioral adjustments. This color cop-out is sad, in more ways than one
EXACTLY! Like you struggle from finding motivation for things you don't find interested in. I could have ADHD, I just can't focus on things I have not interest in. Colors are not a problem, my brain shutting off is😂
@@helloworld5256 100% yes. That's why school was kind of a challenge at times - the stuff I loved, I excelled at. I once accidentally knew more about a steller phenomena than an ameteur astronomer. But math? Biology? 0 interest, couldn't focus and didn't want to. I could out-English anyone in my grade level, but if I didn't want to learn something, my brain just absolutely disengaged
I grew up in the nineties where all the walls were eggshell white but the bathroom and kitchen were heavily THEMED, window dressings were loud, and upolstry was patterned. I live for maximalism. 🥰
It’s funny, I’m pretty sure beige was a direct reponse against the “whole white/grey marble every thing” trend that people are moving away from. Like an attempt to add some colour to the all-white furniture look 😅
As a professional home organizer who spends all day organizing peoples’ chaotic & colorful piles of messy “stuff,” I absolutely love coming home to my minimalist light gray, white, and light blue home filled with green plants (which serve as my color) hahahaha. But I still love you, Brett, don’t worry 😂
I come from a home of clutter, mess, and chaos. Most colors are too much for me. I don’t mind a color per room, but I definitely feel more relaxed in a monochrome pastel room. So I fully plan to make my future home minimalist and chill. (Also, the Montessori beige wood is my favorite. I love it in gray as well.)
These people dont have plants tho
And im sure your kids would have colorful toys
Leave me alone 🤣🤣 my whole house is beige but that's because I just like it. It's simple, I can change my furniture colors the way I like. I have a lot of blues through the house and they look sooo good with my beige walls. It's simple, neutral and I don't have to think so much about really anything. I'm more of a gardener I'd rather spend effort outside than decorating the house. Though I do have some old furniture and decorations and tons of plants. But I personally like it simple. We have super colorful stuff otherwise so beige is good so the background isn't the main focus. The colors and furniture are. And I never did the beige toy thing for my kids. I like their fun colorful toys 🤣 until they talk, then I pull the batteries out. 🤣
My friends daughter stayed with me for a month or so whilst they had to work abroad. She was 14. Her mother had her diagnosed with OCD. During her entire stay, not once did she demonstrate any OCD behaviour! I think her mother has Munchausen syndrome!
🎯 The projection from parents is real!!
Münchausen syndrome by proxy is the term, and it is a mental illness and can in a lot of cases be a for a child abuse
It's very possible, OCD is a cool diagnosis to have, but, as someone who actually has OCD, I know the symptoms are not always visible. 90% of people in my life have no idea about my disorder, and yet, it plagues me. Sometimes OCD consists of mental rituals rather than physical.
I have OCD and most of my concerning behaviour is hidden from my family and my clothes hide my skin picking, my shoes hide my ripped off toenails, and makeup hides my missing lashes and brows. I beat myself in my room when im alone and i deal with the tormenting intrusive thoughts all by myself in my head in my room. OCD isnt usually visible unless one has a mental breakdown. People might notice me over washing my hands or other my obsession with numbers tho.

Yes! It’s so sad when they involve their kids in their ✨aesthetic✨ and exchange all of their colorful toys and clothes to beige. It’s so gross and sad.
@@jennywatson7813 and it’s not even a good Asthetic. It’s plain boring and not exciting.
As a girl with ADHD, I will admit that too much color can overwhelm me. However, neutrals tend to put me in a slump. Although colors alone won’t do this to me. There has to be a LOT more going on for it to affect me, such as noise and crowds. So using it as an excuse to only have neutrals is insanely annoying and feels ingenuine. There is more going on below the surface if that causes a spiral, something that only neutrals can’t fix.
Just an offhand mention, I still experience the Mandela effect of remembering buying crayons with beige in them.
Back then it was called ‘Skin Color’ 💀
Oh yeah- I used that one so much.!
@@Sleep-Deprived-CanadianOh You would! LOL me too
I remember it being called peach
@@user-pw8jk5ug6c It's kind of true though. Many people have beige as a skin colour.
No, it was called ‘Flesh’
I feel attacked for liking beige and white neutral colours and sitting in my house which is filled with 'bland colours' increases the feeling 😂. And i absolutely can not stand bright walls. It either white or cream for me..
I feel like everyone should have the right to like what they want especially when it comes to colours...
I love cream, beige, white or any neutral colors too but I always incorporate some colors like bright yellow tulips, sage green bedding, brass metals, etc
@@taishakuten5141 Oh yes I do agree. I do have a few bright red roses against my 'bland walls' and few modern art paintings but never too much. It's just some colour to a mostly neutral coloured house.
Same! I incorporate colors in more minimal ways which is reflective of what we see in nature: mostly neutral with splashes of color here and there in flowers, the sun, etc. Heck even animals are mostly neutral colors!
Brett's take here is bizarre to me!!!
@@crissyc9831 I do understand Brett’s point of view coz others are overdoing it with the neutral to the point their entire house is only in neutral color
@@taishakuten5141 she doesn't like the beige at all... She even said she was embarrassed for wearing a beige shirt. She's taking the opposite extreme
My brother actually has ADHD. I'm sick of people faking it. He loves colors.
When i moved to the west i was shocked with the lack of colour in clothes. I have since then become confident enough to not care if i stick out in a crowd. I wear red orange green purple etc and i honestly love it.
Thank you for speaking out against plaster artwork 🙌. Seeing it hurts my soul.
I'm actually in love with neutral colour palettes, especially when it comes to furniture and the walls. Personally, I think the Japandi interior design is one of the best since it suits my needs pretty well (😂😂😂 and yes, I've received weird stares from people when I say this). However, I just need some flowers, ferns and/or paintings to bring some pop of colour into the space. It's just sad how people are using these themes as an 'escape' when some of us like them just because. These guys are probably people who got 'misgendered' and won't shut up about how they are being 'oppressed'. Ah yes, what a time to be alive 😪😪😪
Japandi is an interesting aesthetic though...you can do neutral tones while still making it non-generic.
I love my beige home and you can’t take that from me, Brett!! 🤣🤣 but I do have lots of green houseplants 😂
I literary just said the same thing haha, I get you.
I have a beige & white home with plants 😂
What do you buy your kids beige clothes and beach toys? Is there room nothing but beige? As an adult I don't give two rats butts what people do. But it's the children that are being hurt by this.
@@nogames8982 no their bedrooms, clothing and personal stuff is their own thing. But everything else is beige lol
I think people forget that beige comes in different tones too like they have cool toned beige and warm toned beige. I mean there is a range of beige. My house is beige-ish with browns and reds its all warmer colors.
I have adhd (diagnosed) and work as a creative designer, I like having a muted house with muted colours, my bedroom is sage green and dusky pink, I love it. I’m surrounded by creative colours all the time I like unwinding in my house.
That makes sense, even for people without ADHD.
At least those are colors. Only painting rooms, beige, grey, or white is strange to me. To me that feels steril, like an old school hospital.
I, too, have adhd but my house is painted in pastels and deep jewel tones of greens, blues, purples, and oranges. My goal was quirky cottage. I despise beige and greige. Yuck.
Yeah but those colours still sound fairly calming and gentle for the most part, deep greens tend to take us back to nature. You don't have to go beige to be calming.
@@MamaofMushrooms
Me with adhd with a bright purple room and decor everywhere
I would like (for once) disagree on this one. The scandinavian color pallette became a thing with the Minimalistic trend, it makes rooms look bigger, neat and clean. But at the same time, it makes stuff (plants, art and paintings) look more colorful.
But this is just my opinion...
mine too, you're right
Also it's not as sharp and cold as pure white. Beige is a warm color and makes your house look clean but not in a "hospital kinda way"
Agreed it feels so calm, even if i don't have ADHD
Brett is just narcissistic sometimes. She thinks because she likes color that everyone else should. She thinks she’s perfect and people should be like her. I like her content a lot, but she constantly uses herself and her experiences to compare things different than her. It’s weird.
I’m a boomer and although my home is predominately light grey, slate grey and natural oak I do have a purple sofa plopped right in my living room! I hate beige my mother dressed me in it from head to foot as a child. It made me so very sad.
Now we need a tour of Brett's colorful house! Lol
Not really. Just think young rich white girl and you will find they all look like that. At least it's not beige and borrowing but it does scream i've got more money then I know what to do with
I do decorate my daughter’s room in neutral colours so that the actual toys which are in bright colour can be the point of focus. And yes she has more than one Elmo stuffie 😅
She’s honestly so awesome
She really is though
The irony of her wearing the color she is complaining about makes me smile. I love it and I love her!!!
I had the same thought lol
Exactly
I think the plaster would look good if people added color to it, for example a red and brown plaster would actually look nice on a canvas.
I personally like colors like beige in homes like with the korean homes aesthetic but I do agree that it is getting excessive
Who else gets excited when Brett posts new videos?
👇
Yes yes yes! I really like Brett Cooper a lot.
My mother in law is a maximalist when it comes to decor and we lived with her for 6 months while looking for a house to buy. One guest room was butter yellow with red and brown accents, the other was that teenager teal blue that was popular in the mid 2000s in teen girl rooms, all it was missing were posters from tiger beat magazine. Anyway they lived on 5 acres surrounded by forest and any chance the weather was remotely nice I sat out on their bench swing because being inside was overwhelming and stressed me out. Now that we have our own house, my walls are a sage green throughout with wood accents everywhere with white and black and light blue accents and paintings of wild flowers and pine trees and nature scenes. I’m so much happier in my own home
Super crazy idea: do whatever you want to with your house
Yes!!! Why is this even a video 😅
This is America where people are allowed to share their opinions. Hope this helps.
@@Qertii and i shared mine: hope that helps
EXACTLY!!! Lol! Why does she care?
@@crissyc9831 because she’s allowed to. It doesn’t hurt anyone for her to have this opinion, and she’s certainly not alone in it. Y’all are here pretending that it’s dumb or something for her to just have an opinion (no matter how strong) on a different subject. Chill, if this is a conversation you don’t care about, it won’t hurt anyone to just not watch.
Beige is calming. You can always add bright throw pillows or art. I find homes with bold colors kind of chaotic, so to each their own.
Same… I have never liked the chaotic color scheme all over the place look. I think whites/grays and beige go with anything so you can add small pops of color if you are wanting some color but nothing to intense. It’s a weird thing to be upset or make a video on but that’s just my opinion 🤷🏻♀️
i have real ADHD, diagnosed in the second grade. and i do not get triggered by the color of the walls 😭. and it’s so irritating when people are like “oh i can’t focus today, i must have adhd” yuck
Maybe this is why teens are obsessed with the rainbow brigade. They were dressed and surrounded by neutrals for too long.
Whenever I see into people's houses and it's all beige and bland, it honestly feels the opposite of homey. Idk what it is
Sterile
Dull
Hotel rooms......
Sometimes when you have enough BS you have to deal with on the other side of the door, you just want to be someplace where you can chill.
That's me with white/light kitchens
I like neutral tones in clothes but I could not in a house being all white and beige
I recently moved to a new house and my living room is all neutral colors. It’s so beautiful and peaceful , it’s my favourite room in the house. I can’t wait to do the same with my bedroom🥰
As someone currently decorating my home and actually getting rid of beige walls I am glad to see I’m not the only one who hates beige everywhere, I love to have all sorts of colors!
Yeah I hate this trend so much 😂 My SIL's house is the epitome of sad beige and it's not calming or relaxing at all! It feels like trying to socialize in a show room where you're afraid to breathe on anything. I love my chaotic yellow and blue house with the bright furniture and the family made paintings. The bright colors help with the winter sadness 🤣
Dani Dazey is one of my absolute favorite interior designers right now. Her aesthetic is the exact opposite of this beige nothingness, and it is so live-giving and joyful. Everything is bright and colorful and HAPPY
I generally like neutral colours like grey, brown, beige and olive etc over bright colours, but not because of how it makes me feel. I just like it 😂 I don't think about the psychology of why I like it. It ain't that deep
I feel like the natural colors elevate your look, you look more mature and put together and it's more versatile you can create tons of different outfits if you stick to natural colors like beige
So true, Brett will understand this as she gets older... 😂
I've always dome the opposite of what the herd does. Currently in my colorful era. Painted my nails in different pretty colors. Travelling to sardinia to surround myself with blue and green. My clothes are a soft summer: lots of warm pinks, corals, aquamarine, light orange. My dreams look like pink tulip fields with lilac sunsets. I'm spiritually into the orange chakra, and am eating more orange and red foods and surrounding myself with warmer colors. I am so tired of this sterile environment with blue light, blue social media, drab clothes, black souls, grey skies. Not for me thanks. I might move to Sardinia permanently if I like this.
As someone diagnosed with adhd I find bright and exciting colors calming. Colors such as beige and etc. if not paired with an exciting color or piece of art work/furniture feels cold and prison like. ❤
With that art work that was shown in the video I just felt irritated I would give that to a artist and say go wild not even a ADHD thing just annoyed by bad art
@shane daley I'd honestly paint on it myself
I have ADHD and aspergers syndrome (autism lite). I thrived in the chaos of line-cooking. I have a simple personal aesthetic, and love classical art, but chaos is not something (many) people with ADHD fight - it's something we learn to live with and take advantage of.
I was into sad beige while I was in fashion design school. I think I was a bit overwhelmed and just felt it calmed me. So I made my room white and black. Now, I’m in gap semester awaiting Bachelor’s and sad beige is making me sad😂. I’m making an orange velvet comforter right now, adding blue accents, and textures in my room. As a creative who loves color, idk how I thought that would make me happy.
I actually have ADHD and I hate the people that say “Omg like I have like adhd like hehe”🙄
Brett: Go outside and touch grass.
Also Brett: Going out is boring.
Lol! I can't sometimes with the people fresh out of their teens that have an option on everything 😂
I’m not huge on bright colors and being surrounded by a ton of different colors. But my house is not bland either! i have greens, reds, blacks, etc.. just in smaller doses and not super bright and in your face. My sons room has blue and green blankets and bins. My daughters room as pinks, greens, reds, oranges and browns. It doesn’t have to be beige to not be overwhelming lol
As someone that has DIAGNOSED ADHD this generation has made it a joke. It's something I struggle with so much and wouldn't wish on anyone, on bad days I struggle to do things I WANT to do. I can't explain it but its not a joke and it's really a struggle, this generation is the joke
I like the beige trend. Reject modernity (intense chaotic colors/gay), embrace tradition (orderly neutral colors/homeliness and comfort)
Garuntee you havent seen a gay person irl in the last four months none of yall have none of yall are even being affected of this
I prefer the tradition of Gothic stained glass windows…
Just a bunch of sad lifeless men that picks on gay people to boost there superiority complex
Browns and greys, Stained glass windows, dyed wools and carpets, stained woods and yellow lighting are all interesting and neutral colouring that could be used instead of beige and are all more traditional then a theme invented in the 90s
@@robertbusek30 as long as it’s implemented into the design and theme of the house CORRECTLY EXACTLY
Never liked too much beige in my home. Everything is visible on beige furniture which would drive me mad.
Reminds me of the grey kitchens and homes. All tv home designs shows had that trend and I was like “why do they always do the same basic home?”.
This chick named her kid Beige
I'm keeping my beige, black, white, and leather style 😂 I love how clean and simple it is. Now my kids don't have beige toys or clothes, just my house.
My mom dressed me in pink and purple and now it's my favorite colors... with black added I have to say...
I love beige and taupe. I can't afford to redo my house every couple of years but I can change out accessories. Beige goes great with lots of colors. I might get tired of a red sofa but won't with a beige one that can be accessorized with lots of different colors to give it a completely different look.
As a fan of Flat Dark Earth, I will never give up beige!
