To ask your interior design pet hates?

[Lotsofsausage]

Am I a horrible snob?
Here are mine:
Bowls of pebbles on coffee table (why?)
Black and diamanté furniture
Photos printed onto canvas (CRAP quality just get a good photographic print and frame it!)
Those shiny duvet sets and cushions
Fire surround but no fire place (not) even a hole in the wall!

Pops of colour especially teal or pink.
Magnolia.
Many of the things listed here.

Rugs that are too small.

Oh and "Family rules" plaques hanging in the kitchen....they make me want to throw up, they're so flipping twee..

Mottoes , poems and sentimental words about love, families, children ,homes , either on plaques or written on walls. Makes me want to write my own thoughts in thick black felt tip.....

Scrum I walked past a photographer's the other day with a huge photo of a couple, the woman heavily pregnant, both naked but for the silk scarf they were both sort of clutching. I think it was a demonstration of what they offer, but it may be for sale if you'd like me to check for you?

Black gloss kitchens or 'funky' colour kitchens like green or purple

Anything made out of twigs. Twig hearts, twigs in cheap wilko vases, twigs with lights on, tags spayed weird colours.ANYTHING TWIG.
Laminate floors
Log burners with artfully arranged basket of logs.
Glass dining tables.
Bunting anywhere other than a child's room.
Fluffy loo seat covers and matching piss mat.
Glass pots in kitchen full of different shapes of pasta that never get used. Same for bathrooms but using bubble bath in coordinating colours.
Naff wall art
Fridge magnets

Anything that Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen would approve of.

So.....what DO you have?

Sadly, for us mere poor taste mortals real wood/slate/granite is out of reach, and leather sofas can be cleaned without dry cleaners etc.

So can we have some idea of what constitutes good taste (because obviously MN decrees what is good taste.

Bunting, unless it's a summer fete.
Words on decorative things.

A house being too tidy. Makes me wonder what people are hiding.

Beige/neutrals everywhere.

A house with no books - shudder!

Grey can indeed be lovely. It's just that Every Single Person who has decorated their home in the last few years agrees with you. It's absolutely everywhere. And I think it's going to date really badly, like magnolia and feature walls.

In opposition to the filter-carpet-hating poster, I can't bear floorboards in bedrooms. It's like some people have to be sooooooo stylish that they have really hard, cold, poorly insulated, noisy flooring that I fail to believe is actually pleasant or practical to live with (unless you're asthmatic). They're usually the same people with grey everywhere .

Not really interiors, but I have an irrational hatred of brown windows, or windows of any colour that isn't white especially grey.

a huge photo of a couple, the woman heavily pregnant, both naked but for the silk scarf they were both sort of clutching.

When OLD one of my first questions from now on will be 'would you be willing to pose naked for a photoshoot with me with only a scarf protecting our collective modesty?'

If he says 'sounds great' I'll instantly know he's a wrong 'un!

Curtains that trail on the floor.

Glittery wallpaper and matching pelmet for the curtains

Carpet in bathrooms - argh! One of the flats I lived in as a student had this and there was always a soggy patch around the shower. Bleugh.

I do have a grey bathroom, though. There are 2 types of grey tile, and the only colour that really works on the walls with these is another grey. I wouldn't have chosen it but it is quite calm. Maybe I could intensify this with the word CALM stuck on one wall.

i have a grey sofa.
And a navy one.

I love grey. When we buy our house it will be so grey.

DIY on a budget official.

This has got to be the worst thing I have ever seen! Made up of tiny bits of mirror under the stair 😂😂😂😂

my pet hates all interior design. My pet claws it to shreds and chews it

Brick effect wallpaper, fake grass.

'Filter-carpet hating poster' here, River Tam. How about nice cheap laminate? Easy to clean cat vomit off. Quite warm to walk on.

I've also got a toile unique quilt with beads (not sequins) on but I made it myself (planned and executed with malice aforethought) and trailing muslin curtains.

Oooh yes decking. It just goes slippery then rots. And makes a nice rat habitat in the meantime.

I give you: mosaic tiles in the shower. Fucking stupid idea - the ratio of grout:tile pretty much guarantees that you will get leaks.

Upholstered dining chairs are a terrible idea too in my opinion. My PILs bought some really pricy ones from JL and now I am petrified every time my young children eat at theirs that one of them will fling tomato sauce all over the pale upholstered un-washable chairs. Why do that when you have grandchildren?

Carpeted dining rooms = stupid idea.

I also hate wood-effect tiled floor. Just get wood ffs.

Oh that's special cantbefair. I will call that 'provincial nightclub circa 2003' chic.

Christ it gets worse I have fake grass in my very small front garden (again was there when I bought the house)
