To think friends decor is gross?

Stayed at a friends house this weekend with mutual friends and they raved about how nice her living room is and I was baffled.

It’s an extremely dark grey with one wall with equally dark grey wallpaper. Brown sofas and a yellow armchair. Huge jar with pampas grass. Grey carpet with a cream rug. Black plastic tv stand, concrete side tables.

She must think my deco is gross and shit. But I genuinely was so baffled by their reaction.

Ha! I'd love your critique of my goth house. Though after grey walls and pampas you might have a heart attack Grin

I’d love a friend with a goth house! Please say you have the Mumsnet raven/crow?

I just spoke to someone who said she 'smashed all her original fireplaces out' of her lovely Victorian house today. I was speechless. It's to do with sensitivity I think.

so do you think you're more sensitive than them?

Eh...people with different taste to you! Relax, live and let live, YABVU to be so bitchy and judgmental that some people like different things than you.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and all that. I'd hate to have friends with the exact same opinions, tastes and styles as me

YoureALizardHarry11 · 16/05/2024 00:43

What a weird thing to start a thread about!? Coming on MN to describe someone’s decor and slag it off to strangers who don’t know her, haven’t seen her house and don’t give a fuck what it looks like. Get a life, OP

You sound really mean.

That hurts. It's got to be down to the age of the features, what's going to replace them?

JanglingJack · 16/05/2024 00:02

I'd rather a shit house than a shit shallow friend.

I'm saying her house *is shit. Mine is though!

I thought you were going to say she had something like this in every room -ttps://crappytaxidermy.com/

Not just she has grey walls with a yellow accent chair

Odd use of the word "gross". Reserve it for those who floss in public.

Do describe your living room OP.

You like what you like. As long as DF is happy with her room re-vamp, that’s all that matters. Most of my friends have very different taste to me, and both my DBs homes are the complete opposite of mine. I love interior design and architectural design (even though I don’t know much about either ) but I’m sure many of my friends are polite about my taste, while not liking it. Which is fine. They aren’t living here and they don’t have to like it. And I don’t have to be crazy about theirs. Also fine.

The people who aren't slaves to modish conformity.

You might think her decor is gross and shit, she probably thinks your manners are the same.

@walkthroughtulips
What a horrible thing to post. You sound immature and very judgemental.

Jeschara · 15/05/2024 22:26

If real, what an absolute fool you are OP. I hope your friends see through you, and stop being your friend. Horrible person that you are.

@walkthroughtulips its ok, you don’t need to come again. I thought the friendship was worth more then slagging off my deco online.
