That said, it's a neat solution for a tight space. The restroom however I have issues with. Grimy grey! Looks filthy even when clean! I feel like so very many of today's designers lack even the vestige of subtlety. Yes, fine, use bold primary colors in advertisements, but don't use that same truncated palette for *everything*. I enjoy graphic colors as much as the next person, but whatever happened to the tonal palette of hundreds or thousands of colors? I watched a documentary on traditional kimono designers recently, and one maker used upwards of FOUR HUNDRED different shades of *green*. I'd MUCH rather live in a house he painted than inside a Target ad. It’s hard to imagine a less restful color than super vibrant red. That said, it’s a neat solution for a tight space.
