Millennials have had a hard time getting on the property ladder, but those who have managed it are being advised not to squander their first investment by bringing in their Pinterest and Instagram aesthetics. Young homeowners are increasingly harking back to the 1970s by painting their bathrooms avocado green. The retro hue may be nostalgic for many, taking them back to the their parents’ or grandparents’ homes, but experts warn that it’s not a safe investment. Realtors and renovation experts have cautioned that such a unique color could put off prospective homebuyers when it comes time to sell the property. “Avocado green can quickly become tiring, to the point where you might hate going into your own bathroom,” said Rick Berres of remodeling company Honey Doers. He suggests for those with their hearts set on avocado green to start small with some towels, a bath mat, or a shower curtain before plunging head-first into a full bathroom makeover in the color.
