New interior design trend
-
@pos_camaro Don't be so harsh. Of course they put a layer of foam board between the studs and the siding, they gotta keep the weather out.
-
@aremmes In this case, I guess my garage is ahead of the style curve.

@aremmes
Because I want the feeling of living in an unfinished outbuilding. -
@aremmes I bet they regret that quickly.

@Shop-Teacher They can always hire the interior designer again to recommend ways to cover the walls and floors.

@aremmes I hear drywall or blueboard with veneer plaster are going to be the two hot new trends in the second half of the 2020s.

@ranwhenparked I approve, but only if it's got horse hair in it.

... entire walls covered in oriented strand board ...
They are like snowflakes. No two are alike.

@aremmes I will be honest, around 2006, I thought it would be fun to buy a shitty little house in detroit and make it a studio.
My plan was to do this same thing. Rip out the slat board and plaster and screw up the fiber board.
Found it was cheaper to lease out a commercial space instead.
Still have the dream though.
This type of home works well for individuals who work within their home. -
I’ve thought about nice Baltic birch 4x8’s for flooring. Finished and sealed of course. They’d be like giant wood tiles! My spouse squashed it with the quickness 🫤

@aremmes They have been doing that in Japan for many years, I've been in stores and cafes like that too. They like simplicity and wood in Japan so it was bound to happen.

@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly BRB, checking the Bunnings website.
Ha! No-one in their right mind buys a house worth of specific building materials from Bunnings. I'd be surprised if they have much OSB too since they don't make it here anymore. Though there are specialist importers...
https://www.justplywood.com.au/products/osb-orientated-strand-board?variant=31975057621107Like I said I've used it before and in the right circumstances and with the right osb product I'd do it again. But we only get 9 and 12mm thickness which isn't really enough for a domestic situation. I prefer 16 or even 19mm plywood, despite the drawbacks of the weight and getting square edges to fit together squarely.
-
@aremmes i'd rather a brutalist concrete house.
-
@aremmes I bet they'll suggest something really wild this time, like painted gypsum board.
-
I waiting for home improvement laziness to become a trend.
The weathered but non-leaky roof or sh*tty windows that still work trend needs to come into fashion sooner than later so I can cash in like a mofo.
-
@aremmes I love it. The people who like this trend and actually pay for it deserve what they get.
There used to be a bar in the town I grew up in that had the walls done in OSB...because there were so many fights and so much violence going on in there on a regular basis that the holes in the wall were too much to repair, and it was just easier to nail up a new sheet.

@aremmes said in New interior design trend:
leaving concrete beams and columns exposed alongside the OSB panels
Sounds like what I would do if I built a house to save money and buy more fuel.

@aremmes I did this in my old garage for the durability and the ability to hang anything anywhere, but inside the house? Gross.

Hey, I have exposed OSB in the new addition to our home that we finished last year!
It's my weightlifting platform. 4x8. And yeah, it's kind of an eyesore.
-
@pickup_man Friend did this in his detached garage with 1/2" or 5/8" plywood. It's functional and looks fine in that setting (personal preference) but even I, as someone who likes a wood aesthetic, do not want this in my house. Especially not OSB, that's not a visually appealing material not matter how you put it.
Maybe a custom feature wall using wenge, walnut, sapele, and maple could pull it off? That sounds hella expensive though

Say what? That sounds like a sheet...of rock?! I suppose this kind of wall is drier than plaster, but still sounds impractical. What would they even call it?
Generally just sh*treplying to things.
-
@Zaphod-s-Heart-of-Gold Yeah, I could get behind wooden walls of some kind, but OSB is intetionally cheap and sharp because it's mainly used for exterior walls and flooring BEFORE the finishes go on.
If you're going to have to see it or touch it, then maybe some nice birch, stain-grade plywood or something like that.
-
@ash78 It does sound like a pretty .... dry .... wall.
