    this is gonna sound super bougie but I love the style of houses that I see from the 1970s, at least the bougie ones in TV shows of that era

    they have lots of diagonal lines but also asymmetries in the overall shape

    love the green carpets and brown everything too

      I like the split levels like the one pictured here. 1970s is like the newest construction that's still half-decent imo.

      Mid century modern and retro futurism style houses are pretty good too, but i associate those with the 50s/60s a bit more. Pre-WWII stuff is usually way more solid though. Love craftsman style houses too. But my favorites are Queen Anne and second empire Victorians from around the turn of the century. Things that were built to last and still have personality because the goal was to have a house you liked and not have a house as an investment.

      Like any millennial I've spent a lot of time fantasizing about houses I'll never be able to afford 🥲
