Actually it makes a change from all the other houses in London their insipid neutral palace. Its a beautiful house and I do like the area but goodness me its very stripey and loud. I bet the kids love it 😃www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/121573241#/?channel=RES_BUY

Ps I cant afford this house or any house or flat in London. Im just daydreaming and looking for decorating inspiration.

Gawdy, tasteless and cheap

I really need a resolution to the question: is the lawn real or fake?

DukeofEarlGrey · 31/03/2022 19:52

There is a poster that says 'HATE' in the entrance hall

IDidntKnowItWasAParty · 31/03/2022 19:53

I have a headache from these pictures

It looks like a good fake. It would not stay green under the giant, cheap-looking gazebo which looks like it is up permanently (I would not want to keep taking it up and down).

I've just shown my DD (4) the pictures and she frickin loves it, especially the pink bath.
@Cyw2018

Hide her paints before you go to bed!!

It looks like a happy, family home though. It doesn't give off unhygienic or creepy vibes, it's just unapologetically and non-fabulously hideous.

CharityShopChic · 31/03/2022 19:59

What a fabulous house.

Not my taste but at least the owners have expressed their personality and created something individual.

It's a very pleasant contrast to the acres of grey, more grey, white, a bit more grey , and crushed velvet. I love the red cabinet thing in picture 18.

MuggleMadness · 31/03/2022 20:01

I'd like to see what it looks like when (if I suppose) they take all the 'stuff' out.

Not to my taste at all

Adeleskirts · 31/03/2022 20:08

That looks surprisingly cold and unwelcoming. It doesn’t even have a proper sofa to snuggle up on, and it seems to have two dining tables. It just doesn’t look like a warm family home to me.

Relentlessrose · 31/03/2022 20:19

I love bright colours and prints, but that combo was really jarring. I feel a migraine coming on just looking at it. Like genuinely going to take a trip tan now

PriestessofPing · 31/03/2022 20:24

I find it oddly cold as well, despite the colour.

RantyAunty · 31/03/2022 20:32

It's interesting but the hot pink and those stripes. Wtf?

Wafflesnsniffles · 31/03/2022 21:27

Thats headache inducing. The lounge looks super uncomfy - seems to lack furniture.
Why does it have two dinning tables I wonder.

MissisBee · 31/03/2022 21:49

17 year old me would have loved the pink bath. All the stripes would make me seasick

lemmein · 31/03/2022 22:34

It remind me of Alice in Wonderland for some reason. Some of it I really like - the patterns would knock me sick though.

The skull on the dining table is a bit random!

Right? You can’t imagine lounging round with a glass of wine or a bar if chocolate, playing games, reading,,watching tv, snoozing. It’s oddly formal and cold. It doesn’t feel like it was designed with comfort in mind.
Suzi888 · 31/03/2022 22:40

Wish I could pick our house up and plop it in London. 2.8 mil is insane!
The interior is erm interesting…

KloppsTeeth · 31/03/2022 23:56

@Sportsnight

It’s like living in Smash Hits magazine
🤣🤣 love that @Sportsnight
Thesefeetaremadeforwalking · 01/04/2022 00:04

eeeeek !

My brain hurts just looking at it ! Shock

DrBrennerFan · 01/04/2022 04:48

Get rid of some the stripes and paintings (which aren’t my thing) I love it.

JeffThePilot · 01/04/2022 05:42

Like living in an optical illusion. Could not cope with that.

Love the pink bath though. But not the lips in the other bathroom, they freak me out.

Rubyupbeat · 01/04/2022 07:38

I do love that they have kicked against the grain. Greys, beige, whites are so bloody boring....baaaaaaaa. it's a good area too.

ShowOfHands · 01/04/2022 08:59

I don't think they have kicked against the grain at all. It's a really popular palette and they've gone for a feigned quirky vibe a la Instagram. It's still got a lot of grey, black and white in it. With some bright pink. As a style, it's everywhere.

I was in The Range last night and it was a sea of grey with pink accents and some deliberately "quirky" accessories.

Looks like Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen has been over.
