“White Marble and dark wood sounds fine to me.”
Not to me. That trend has also swept hotels lately. All dark and angular modular wood, white tile, no carpet. They all look like hospital rooms.
Lol - maybe that’s why Melania chose it... “Darling, your hotels are all chintz, gold leaf and other 70s kitsch, it’s a bit Soviet. I thought if you like the British 1980s yuppie look more, you can roll it out in your hotels.”
There’s a proper cheap motel (50 dollars a night) near me that was last decorated in the early 80s, and it’s often compared to the set of a TV soap called” Crossroads”. It looked hilariously outdated...
Then I had the joy of staying in a Wyndham in NH which had the exact same colour scheme, but to a much higher standard and far more modern finish... it looked great.
