Are dark colours still 'in'?

[ThirstyMeeples]

About 5 years ago, i went with the whole dark, jewel colour themes. I painted my living room Hague Blue and my hallway a deep purple. I still quite like them but I'm craving a bit of light and airy. I'm beginning to think these darker shades are looking dated.
What do you think? (I know lots will say go with what you like and I do still find them cosy but wondering if I should switch it up a bit)

What do you like?

I couldn’t give a shit what’s fashionable. Both my dining room and bedroom are black and I love them!

White never goes out of style.

I was around in the 70s and I won't be doing orange with green, or buckets of magnolia, or banana yellow any time soon.

It amazes me how different prices are from area to area. DS furnished his flat from a local charity furniture shop. He bought a huge antique desk with leather top for about £60. Where we live a similar desk would cost 5 times that amount.

I'm not keen on the current 70s style but I think that's generational - I remember the 70s. So my house has more neutral wall colours with lots of beautiful art on the walls, objects I've picked up on my travels around the world, rugs, a mixture of old furniture and scandi style. Wood and lots of fabrics for texture.

I’ve just painted my kitchen and bathroom pink and I’m about to do the stairs very pale blue.

Can’t get on board with taupes so I’m going pastels.

This is the benefit of being divorced and not having to accommodate other people’s tastes.
