I get updates from rightmove every day and I think about 90% of the houses have really similar interiors.
Everyone seems to have laminate floor, brown leather sofas, the ubiquitous 'feature wall' in some awful oversized floral pattern, steel and black framed things and huge tellys. And the kitchens and bathrooms all seem to be the P shaped shower bath and the varying shades of beige tiles.
I don't understand why, it's like looking at a display in B&Q over and over again. It's so ugly. But most of all it's so dull.
Do people like this stuff or is it just fashion, which no one really likes aside from the fact it makes your house look identical to other people's?
Finding a house to be proper nosey at, that has some sort of identity of its own is hard work.
I'm not sure what I'm trying to do or why it pisses me off so much, and I certainly don't want to offend anyone who does like their house this way...all the agents seem to say these are beautifully presented and will be very popular, so maybe it is just me who hates it, in which case, I'll take the flack
But why is it so popular to have your house like this? Because I just don't understand.
