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.

Oh, I think it's gorgeous.

It's on the rental market. Bland is ideal as everyone has different tastes so you're not ruling anyone out by having it done like this.

I think it’s ok, as a rental they want neutral template
its a beautiful building

It was featured in an interiors magazine last month actually.

It looks like it was decorated by Vermeer.

😂

It looks cold.

And it looks like it wouldn't warm up if you put all of the heating/woodfires on as well.

I do like it, someone has clearly gone to a lot of effort to make it look that way. However it doesn't look cozy enough for a family home.

It's not just the miserable colour palette, I'm wondering why people would dress beds in what looks like filthy rags?.

Agree completely about the cordwood under the stairs...think of the spiders living happily there...and the fire risk!
It would be tinder dry by being indoors.

The textured walls are horrible, like cement, and the look is already a few years old. {greys...urgh! as if we don't have enough grey in our lives {at least in UK, under a leaden sky}

The sun is shining here for the first time in WEEKS, and it's so uplifting to see it for once!

They told you. It's a unified flow of tonal colour

I don't like the wall effects they make the house look dirty! What's wrong with a normal paint job?!

You're unfamiliar with limewash paint? It's a very old formula that's received something of a revival. Personally I love the house!

I think it's gorgeous but wouldn't rent it in a million years - even if I could afford it! The whole beauty and serenity of the place would be ruined the minute I walked in the door and I'd be afraid to sit down.

Apologies if someone has already made this point..........I've only read Page 1 of this thread, and my first reaction was to be bemused at best, gobsmacked and appalled at worst, as to why a Mumsnetter feels it's ok to splash all details of someone's house over Mumsnet, with the sole intention of taking the piss out of it and inviting others to do the same? 🤷‍♀️
Nice.........🙄

😂 That’s made me chuckle.

i love it 😬
although I’d definitely add some (a lot!) of colour via art and textiles tbh. But it’s the perfect blank canvas and clearly an exceptionally high standard of finish.

And the coats! I'd like that cloakroom space but I'd have to brighten it up.

I would be hitting the bottle living there!!

It looks absolutely freezing. Shades of Dickens's 'Bleak House'.

By contrast, Freddie Mercury's house was glowing with light and warmth..

MNetters have done this for years.
Are you new?

Its a weird mixture of dirty clean for me. Can't decide whether I feel really calm or just really dusty...

Seriously worried about the seating in the cloakroom. I just know it wouldn't take my weight...

Its lovely.

Not too far from me. Next time I'm out that way I'm going to have to do a drive past

You love it as a space to fill with bright colours and textiles!
That is completely different.

You see it as a literal blank canvas to fill with colour.

I'd love to fill to with colour, too! I love the spaciousness.

Well it's preferable, at least, to the B&M/Home Bargains inspired crushed velvet grey, upon more crushed velvet grey, with a side of crushed velvet grey. And swirly faux chrome, of course.
