That is because of real estate business. You can not sell a custom restaurant, you can a generic one.
Same goes for residential homes. People leave their houses neutral for the resale. It’s sad shit really
Not my neighborhood! Upon re-siding my house a few years ago, the last white house on the street and block is gone. Heck yeah.
We have blues, reds, greens, a pink or two, and very few beige/neutral colors. One of my neighbors even has a bright blue roof and trim to make up for the gray siding.
Granted, many of them are painted so it’s decently easy to recolor. But those paint jobs set the tone for the area for sure. Also helps that there’s no HOA.
If you mean interior, that’s maybe more true, but much easier to remedy.
Obligatory Fuck HOAs
If only more businesses embraced the old design, like Angry Pete’s in San Diego that took over an old Taco Bell https://www.sandiegoville.com/2024/01/angry-petes-brings-motor-city.html?m=1
Paper cup: the restaurant.
You can thank The Memphis Groups designs for making a strong influence on the 80s/90s
Thanks for the link! Id like to learn more about this esthetic.
It comes across as cheesy and lazy if its done poorly, but I might incorporate this style into a project now that I know who to look up for inspiration.
This photo looks exactly how nachos and cinnamon twists taste. I will not be taking questions.
Looks cheap and uncomfortable.
The 70s had their plastic craziness that lasted for decades, because it was expensive at the beginning. But no, things looking like they are made of plastic is very hard to do well and bad most of the time. Things looking like they are made of wood is normally much better.
That said, yes, your modern example is bland.
Agree. This is nostalgia bait. It was cheap and plastic and the teal and purple was everywhere you looked.
It was cheap, but comfortable enough for the 20-ish minutes you spent there to eat.
We went on a trip to a sunny place, and we saw when we arrived that all the houses and shops were brightly-coloured. It was beautiful.
There’s a Chase bank branch across the street from a Chipotle and from the exterior they’re identical except for the signs.
After I get a Chase burrito I’m going to open up a Chipotle savings account.
The difference between Chase and Chipotle is that one is less eager to give you the runs.
I swear we just make everything an iPod nowadays
