Ridiculous master suites that have bathrooms larger than the other bedrooms in the house.
CFL's are still legal here in California. Personally, I'd take LED over CFL, I don't like the type of light CFLs give off. California is kind of late to the game, the incandescent bulbs were only banned here in 2020. The switch has it's roots in the Federal Energy Independence and Security Act signed by then President Bush in 2007. We remodeled in 2013-14 and LEDs were all the contractors would use then.
I agree about the standard LED light bulbs. The cold light can make an otherwise pleasant setting look like a dreary crime drama. I need to go shopping again, because I just searched and apparently there do exist warm light LED bulbs.
I see your later post on halogen bulbs. Actually, I just remembered our master bathroom has halogens. It was remodeled in 2013. Guess I will have to replace the fixture when one of them burns out.I wasn't talking about CFLs. I am talking about halogen bulbs.

No, they have pins, not a socket. This type bulb. https://www.bulbamerica.com/product...hZ9shUAtgGexz6uN-AVLMRcWVH_bmzicaAhj2EALw_wcBYou don't have to replace the fixture, most likely. The ones we have are "type A" and will take any type A bulb. The CFL fixtures we have in the kitchen are the three prong type that will only accept those type of CFLs.
You you can pick the color temperature you want. I bought LED replacements for the fluorescent light bulbs in our laundry room and I had a choice of warm white or daylight. I got daylight, but my wife likes LOTS of light in the laundry room so I went back to good old fashioned, cheap, bright white garage fluorescent bulbs.I agree about the standard LED light bulbs.

LED lighting (this might just be a California thing since they outlawed incandescent bulbs)
I agree about interior sliding barn doors - not a fan of those,. I, also, agree about rooms dominated by grey - walls, floors, furniture all in varying shades.
It isn't really a trend over here, but I notice a lot of American homes don't have fenced in yards and just share open space. I don't think I'd like that - outside space is very important to me.
Also, books arranged by colour!
It’s a thing in Texas because we are The Lone Star State. No idea why other states would use stars. As for the BIG bathrooms someone mentioned, I love ours.I don’t necessarily dislike it, but I do find it odd that a lot of folks are putting a big star on the side or front of their houses. Is it a barn thing, too?

I have noticed differences in the Midwest (Missouri and Illinois) where fences seem to be less common. Never understood how people with dogs keep them in without a fence.That is not true everywhere in the US. Here in AZ, unless you’re in a rural area, all the backyards have fences.
