      That may be the most hideous bathroom I’ve ever seen… it’s diarrhoea green.

      “I advise you to march in step with the rest of the white bath room loving Nation remember it like racism white is right. mean could you stand to have a single bath in there without being sick how could you sleep a wink knowing that somewhere in your house new ceramic witness was being paid to your total in ability to bow to the prevailing taste”

      Fuck no, they went with the cheapest option or kept what was there, ain’t no one with any sense picking that.

      As mentioned here before, I inherited my grandmothers house after she passed away, and because of alot of original features, I left it how it was to a fair extent

      The Burgundy bathroom suite I have though…that was just because getting it out and down a flight of stairs was too much like hard work. Plus was there nothing wrong with it so it’s still there. A couple of mates who have been over quite like it.
      I did get rid of the furry bog seat cover, but the knitted doll that goes over the teepee remains.

      I think it looks really cute. Although I admit I’m a sucker for a kitschy interior

      White, black or cream

      Most other colours will give you a crap looking and easily date bathroom, the above can look good for decades

      Oh my gosh No ! Brings back horrible memories of knitted ladies covering loo roll and imperial leather soap. Yuck

      Young people have stopped buying avocado toast and managed to save up and buy their avocado house

      Just people bored of the sterilised white that took over literally every wall, roof, electrical good and fixture looking for something, anything else.

      I guess maybe marketing nudging might have made it more popular but ‘repelling the old’ is fairly natural behaviour.

      As a young person (who doesn’t own a house, yes I still live with my parent!), I honestly don’t like coloured bathroom suites. It just looks so dated. I did repaint the main bathroom walls last year coral pink from bright turquoise, so I am in favour of brightly coloured bathrooms, just not the avocado bathroom suites!

      Oooor… Younger homeowners can only afford Dilapidated houses with 40 yr old bathrooms and can’t afford to update them?

      They clash with the colour of a baby’s skin! And before you say that’s weird, I mean dead OR alive!

      We had the turquoise bath set in the house I grew up in. I’d like to see that return, that was nice.

      My nanna had the avocado set. Bleech. There are nicer greens, c’mon.

      I’ve seen the raspberry set IRL and photos of the yellow set… those look like they would be annoying to clean.

      More blues please. Bathtubs and bath sets in those swirly sparkly malachite-esque blues you get in hot tubs.

      I feel like it’s more of a case of they’re cheap because no one wants them because they look foul

      That’s it, I’m putting my foot down! Gen Z needs a serious talking to about their aesthetic choices.

    22. Kisrah on

      My parents had an avocado bathroom for years. Weird seeing it becoming popular again.

      My grandparents had brown.

      If you follow trends this should not be surprising. Mid century modern is about to be everywhere.

      Didn’t read the article as its the puff stuff from the Guardian.
      I’m un ironically going to debunk this article in the following way:-

      It’s not an empirical poll of all persons within a data set.
      It’s the opinion of a single person OR
      It’s based on some unsubstantiated report, like a poll from a companies website.

      They have a soundbite/ quote from one person saying this is a thing.
      Maybe even the buyer saying ” I love avocado”

      This article reports this as a ‘trend’

      Which to any sane person it is obviously not.

      Rinse and repeat stupid articles 101

      >30% of homeowners between 18 and 34 years old

      You need to survey more than 20 people to get meaningful results.

      My Grandma’s Bathroom was like this… She even had green shag carpet for the floor. I remember all the times staying there it was very vintage and basic, but nice and cosy. It was a semi-attached house.

      It looked very 60s and 70s inside, because she moved into it after selling off the council house she brought my mum up in. She only got a small flat screen not to long after her sisters box TV she inherited died on her.

      Would I install something like this no, but I don’t exactly like the grey and white of my mothers style either. I guess I will try ocean blue.
