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 love the pantry.

Those dining chairs look like rare discontinued Ercol ones. I was not after those ones but others and I’m pretty sure those ones secondhand were selling for something like £800 each.

I mean, I don't like it, but it's no worse than that fake Chanel and grey crushed velvet monstrosity that posters were falling over themselves the other week to insist they loved.

I don't hate it. Each room on its own looks good. But, yeah, that is a lot of beige in one house.

I was about to say it almost looked AI generated. That final shot isn’t the same kitchen, it shows an overhead extractor fan which isn’t in the interior shot.

It's too colourless for me but I can appreciate the 'natural' aesthetic which is about texture more than colours. I wouldn't want to live it in but I think it's actually rather nice and a fairly original look. Way better than everything being gray with LED spotlights and a shiny handle-less kitchen.

There is colour on the telly these days so not allowed.

The walls are scumbled (is that the right word I just dredged it from my aging brain?) a la Changing Rooms in the 90s.
Also, it’s band G council tax which sounds expensive… I’m so common I didn’t even know band G existed!
😂

It’s being rented fully furnished so that’s how they’re expecting the tenants to live.

It's OK. Not for me. A bit of colour here and there wouldn't go amiss. Would relax me for a few days then Would be stressful. I would start feeling beige. And am black!

My thoughts exactly.

Looks stunning. It's a rental, so is obviously "dressed" like that for the photos rather than an actual family living like that.

This.

I love minimalism and neutrals and find them relaxing, but that is too much beige even for me! I think it's because the beige feels kind of sepia, meh and dreary. I like my neutrals a bit cooler and fresher and with a teensy bit more contrast in colour.

Furnished yes. So furniture. Not shoes and coats.

I'm sure they'll be allowed to hang up their own coats and add their own books and bedding etc. Plug in a telly here and there maybe. 😂

God, it's so dull. What's with all the bits of logs under the stairs? That looks crap

I don't think this is bland at all - limited palette, but there is plenty of texture and a sense of individual taste.

I've never seen a property dressed up like this, for rental. I'm struggling to understand what their reasons are for dressing up the house in such a specific way, when as soon as it's let, the new tenants will bring their reds and yellows and pinks and greens and stamp personality all over it.

Well they have certainly picked a look and fully committed to it. 😂
Perhaps a bit TOO fully. I see where they were going, but it's a bit much.

Yes what’s that about? Looks green in one pic! Ewww! I’d have to paint it. 😆

I wouldn’t call that ‘tasteful’ TBH. I’d think it belongs to someone with no idea and no originality, who's had an interior designer in.

Looks like it's been styled within an inch of it's life for the photos. Fine for a home magazine but not if you're trying to sell it. Doesn't look very inviting.

I love it.

All those logs = all those spiders.

It looks like a pot of porridge that’s been left on the hob all day.
