There’s a fine line between “vintage” and “outdated” when it comes to houses, a new survey suggests.
That’s according to a poll of 2,000 American homeowners split evenly by generation conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Realty ONE Group. Results found 83% agree that it’s easy for a home to lose its original charm and become out-of-date.
Many appreciate original hardwood floors (56%) and ornate, old-fashioned woodworking (37%) but they draw the line at popcorn ceilings (8%), root cellars (8%) and telephone nooks (8%).
Even 39% of baby boomers can admit that fully carpeted homes weren’t the best choice and 16% of millennials are ready to give up their namesake, “millennial gray,” while 17% of Gen Z indicated it as a favorite trend. Wallpaper (31%), stained glass windows (30%) and wood paneling (26%) are also more popular for Gen Z than any other generation.
