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.

First thing I thought!

lol, you could channel the bleak house vibe, clutch the cognac and waft in an alcoholic haze

We live rurally and rely on wood for our heating.
Our logs are kept outside the back door in a covered area.
We've recently found woodworm in our back door.
No way would I stack logs in my house now, especially under a wooden staircase.

You're ruling out people who would like a home to be cosy and restful.

I love it. I'd add in my patchwork quilts, my art deco lamps, my sari throws, my rainbow coloured Le Creuset, all my original modern art etc . It would be a fabulous foil to my magpie tastes.

This interiors style was in the Guardian a couple of months ago - see here

It doesn't illicit house feeling in me, it's OK, ut verging on drab.
It's also overly staged- and probably dysfunctional - piles of shoes and bags that don't belong to anyone, wood piles that are glued in place, jars of colour coordinated food in jars that are never used.

It looks like a room in IKEA, all fake, never used.

Rightmove is fair game.

Interesting or time~capsule properties usually feature.

Some love, some loathe, but not done to be unkind.

{Are you the homeowner of the Grey House perchance?!}

All these items would improve it no end.

It looks like AI to me

That sofa looks like it’s come out of a squat!

I'm all for a bit of sad beige aesthetic. But the music in the video is quite...strident - especially the dramatic ramp-up when the jars in the pantry are revealed.....duh duh duh...

Also the layer upon layer of coats in the hallway is making me slightly itchy.

I love a lime-washed wall though, tbf.

I reckon you'd have to sign a "no colour" agreement, like a prenup. So you can rent it, but don't be wearing any pink slippers in there, and all dogs must match.

Sort of place you'd rent to film a low budget horror.

The estate agent's description says it's being let furnished.

I really like it. My kind of style.

@SignoraVolpe
No, I'm not new.
And yes, I've seen this kind of thread rubbishing other peoples' houses before.
That doesn't make it any less a shitty and childish thing to do 😐

So you have to put up with their furniture as well?!!

BTW someone mentioned the music upthread, that's the sort of track you'd have playing whilst the knifeman pursued you round the house ...

DH and I were debating whether it was just whitewashed plaster, but why would you leave it like that and then decorate the whole rest of the house?
Some bits look very appealing and restful. Some do not.

I love it

I like it as a sort of fantasy but can't imagine what real.persin would live there, like this.

You can only eat quinoa and listen to Leonard Cohen.
You can only wear beige linen and hand woven espadrilles.

Far too many wrinkled beige and grey things for my taste.

@oakleaffy
Rightmove is fair game, is it? That makes it ok then 💁‍♀️
No, I'm not the owner 🙂

@Cesarina dude, it's a holiday let on Rightmove.

It has obviously been staged.
This house would appeal to a lot of renters.
