I was in the home office of a major manufacturer, (No Name), and just looked around at the various employees and management. I did not see one person that I thought had ever spent a night in an RV. Now I could be dead wrong, but that was my observation. I can attest they knew little or nothing about the construction of the RV.

The space issues, though -- who designs this nonsense? People who don't actually RV? Who don't cook? Who don't need to store clothing, food, dishes, cookware, etc.?
Sheesh.

coolmom et al - I have been saying this same thing for years... our 2009 Landmark has cherry wood finish which is plenty dark enough.
We will not be buying until the interiors are light - I want my RV to look like a beach house! Whitewashed wood, blues/aquas with pops of red or orange. Light grey or tan barnwood looking flooring. White walls. NO BORDERS! No mirrors on the ceiling! No flashing lights anywhere! LOL
Maybe we should copy this thread and email it to every manufacturer...
If you are waiting for that color scheme, you won't be buying anytime soon. In over 25 years, I've never seen any interior with blue or pastels. It's either dark to light woods with tans or dark fabrics with maybe a splash of color. About 10 years ago, a few had bright white cabinets with a white wash type floor finish. That only lasted a couple of years.

Ok, I'm 55 and at our recent RV & Camping Show the majority of units had the dark interiors. Each one was like walking into a cave. Now granted, my eyes aren't as good as they used to be, but even when they were better, I liked a nice, bright and airy interior. These things were terrible. I agree with the "trying to hide something" mentality.
When we special ordered our motorhome, we chose to pay the extra for the solid wood cabinetry upgrade and ordered the lighter maple cabinets over the golden oak. Woodwork tends to darken with age anyway and we expected to have our rig for 20+ years (we're in year 12 this year). I'd take our interior over ANY I saw at the show.
But I am in the over-50 crowd, so maybe it is a generational thing.
I just find it interesting that in over 5 pages of posts, there have been very few supporting the dark interiors. I wonder if they're going to be "in demand" in a few years when they start hitting the used market?
