Has this got to be the most garish house ever seen?

My eyes! There are other colours than white and black. Such a shame what they've done to an otherwise stunningly Art Deco building

This house is two minutes from me!
I rememeber when it was falling apart with red window frames!

That house is the complete opposite of garish, isn’t it?

It's stark not garish and it's totally in keeping with the style of the house. That said ,I wouldn't like to live there.

I like it. I love the old kitchen tiles though.

Is it totally in keeping with the style of the house? Was 1930's Art Deco that clinical?

It’s beautiful.

I can't see the photos for some reason!

Remember that Art Deco was originally at a time before colour TV was invented so everything would have been monochrome, this was a time when everything was in black and white.

It looks like it'd be rented out as a holiday or events place. I don't think anyone lives there.
The furniture and fittings are modern but in keeping with Art Deco style. They haven't ripped out all the original features. Other than the flooring it'd be really easy to change the decor.

Neither Art Deco or monochrome is my thing so personally I wouldn't like it at all but I don't think it's that bad.

The house itself is indeed stunning. It's got tons of curb appeal. The stark black and white decor is another matter however! I don't find it very sympathetically done or in keeping with the Art Deco character.

It was an ugly ol' fecker from the outside originally wasn't it? Not convincing me away from thinking all Art Deco houses are monstrous. Apart from the stained glass some of them have.

They’ve done a wonderful job on the exterior.
I’m sure the interior could easily be rescued from its current monochrome plight. They’ve been a bit rigid and missed the mark but reclaimed a stunning building.

Have you ever seen Once upon a time? The evil Queen Regina I think her name is had her house just like this and I absolutely loved it.

How do you see how it looked before??

I've managed to view the photos, I preferred it before! I couldn't live in a black and White House (it is nice but not for me). The grey room and the film room were nice. I HATE all the tar Mac. Vile.

Seriously am I missing something lol ?!

I love it. Especially the cinema it's like something from a Tim Burton movie.

Gosh, I'd be straight down to B&Q to buy some paint!

I quite like it in parts! 

Don't get how you can see the photos of what it looked like before either @tiffanygoldduck!

Very sad to imprint your own tastes on the children's room.
Other than that I like it mostly.

They could have gone the extra mile with the pool. Friends of mine refurbished a pool and put in dark grey tiles to get a more natural effect. On a brilliantly sunny day it is very effective and looks like a woodland pond. On a more average day it takes courage to dive into what looks like an unnerving bottomless black pit.

Hmmm I wouldn't want black decor but if the black was painted say, blue, I would absolutely love it and that would be really easy to do. I like the grey room.

What?

The world wasn't black and white before colour TV was invented! Google Art Deco and see the colours that were used, chrome and starkness was only a small part of it.

I think that was a joke.

Oh,was it?
