When your house is just too too tasteful

[Ginmonkeyagain]

What the hell is going on here? This is an absolute horror show of beige and bland tastefulness.

I quite like it. Looks restful

It looks like a victorian work house that's been cleaned up.

It's awful.

Even the shoes in the hallway match.

I don't mind the colour scheme, I quite like neutrals, but hate the texture of the walls, looks like drying plaster, and the wood under the stairs is a weird look too.

It looks like a section of the Next catalogue... not in a good way.

It's gorgeous! Not good for six muddy dogs though.

It looks as if the residents aren’t allowed to wear colour either, if their boot room is anything to go by. Contrast that with the house in Prescot which was on here recently and which has been derided for being over decorated - that was a friendlier, more welcoming home than this.

I like the way they have painted the walls to look like they have damp.

It's not for me but I wouldn't call it an absolute horror show.

It'll be nice and easy for new buyers to add a splash of colour here and there, with accessories and that.

Looks as though the photos have been printed in sepia. Like a White Company catalogue. They obviously don't have working dogs.

The mud would tone in with the rest of the brown.

If you're paying £4500 a month, you'd want a bedroom that didn't look like it had just been vacated by a peasant.

It looks the the sort of house an Instagram 'homesteader' type mum would live in to me. All the kids would be dressed in shades of neutral pinafores with knee high socks and brown cardigans, with unbrushed hair, often spotted holding posies of flowers picked from the garden.

I'm not the biggest fan of the line wash paint in every room, but I love the styling! It's so calm looking, I love clean neutrals at home - it relaxes my mind. It's definitely a labour of love with a house like that, it looks like so much effort has been put in.

😂

I don't mind it but it isn't real. Where are the trainers, the brightly coloured waterproofs on the hooks, the kids books which aren't beige, the electrical gadgets. Feels a bit like Jane Austen's Bennetts are selling it.

I think it’s lime washing, but I’ve seen it done better!

Don't see the problem here, presuming you are not planning to rent it? Its restful, very staged for the photos. So what.

Where is the telly?!
After another look it does remind me of whe. You go to a 'living museum' where each house is set up from a period in time... It's the quaint wooden desk in the kids bedroom that's a bit sad

Wow they really went all out on the limewash paint didn’t they? I actually like the look and have a lot of similar images saved on IG. I think it’s a bit much over the whole house though.

The child’s book ledge is a bit sad, are they only allowed books that fit the aesthetic? No Hungry Caterpillar or Jolly Postman unless they publish a nice muted beige version.

I love the wooden doors, tables and bed frames but yes the overall effect is drab and dreary and brown and grey. Whatever effect has been used on the walls just makes them look grubby.

I don’t really understand the clothes and bags hanging up in the cloakroom(?) area. Looks like they only wear brown and a bit of blue. Reminds me of a particular religious group or era but I can’t place it.

It’s a rental.
Find me another rental that’s been decorated beautifully to accommodate to everyone’s tastes

I mean, it's not terrible but I wouldn't want to live there.

I'd feel like I was in a museum or something. Like a PP said, bit like a cleaned up victorian workhouse.

Looks very interiors magazine staged but I do like it.

Thought I was looking at old sepia photographs for a minute. I love neutrals, lots of grey/white/beige but this is too bland. Also, the price. Is that to rent?! 😱
