AIBU?

To think you shouldn't comment on people's decor if you're selling them something?

Getting blinds fitted, man came over and recommend I get white so if I ever redecorate then it will always match

Because .., "you'll definitely want to decorate in here"

Confused I'd decorated it 6 weeks ago.

I just think if I were selling something to someone... I wouldn't insult their decor

Absolutely. What an idiot of a man. I would be surprised if he makes any sales!

Maybe he meant you would definitely want to redecorate at some point, because most people do?

Sadly not. Because I did say well I've only just decorated and he became a little spluttery and red faced

I'd pick my own blinds/colours, fit them myself or get a local handypeep to fit them.

People can have really odd taste in interior decor, OP. Don't be disheartened. Our curtain fitter was used to flash git bachelor pads and because of the industry DH worked in (he'd come across him professionally), expected us to be similar. He was visibly taken aback by our decor, which is less black leather and chrome chandeliers than sanded floorboards, kilims and booklined walls. I don't think anyone had asked him for plain, heavy linen curtains before!

Definitely not posting a photo of my bedroom Grin

I love it and regardless of how I decorated it, not everyone will love it.

Just think in his position if you don't like it then you keep your trap shut

Agreed. I had white curtains once. Awful awful decision.
