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!

Walls that are painted one colour on the top half and a different colour on the bottom, usually with a stick on wallpaper border in the middle.

Gloss paint that's not white

These 😐

Twigs in vases???

Laminate flooring makes my feet feel sad.

As pp have said - what have all these style gurus got if not glittery/ twiggy shit/ grey walls etc ?

I have piss mats. They are there for a reason. DP's aim after a few beers is a bit hit and miss. I zoflora them before they get washed.

I also have two wood burners and log baskets..not sure they are artfully arranged though,,😜

Someone needs to start a thread on what is allowed...

Brown decor. I have often stayed in hotels and holiday cottages, where the key colour seems to be shades of brown (maybe with a hint or purple) - eugh.

I have a gigantic clock. < I said CLOCK, pervs>
I have leather sofas (dog proof)
I have magnolia walls (furniture is bonkers, so need a foil for that)

Pet peeve is shabby shit. Not nicely painted, waxed and well done , but 'slap a load of paint on and scrape it back in the edges' quick and dirty bollox

Anything that isn't carpet, outside of kitchens and bathrooms. Don't care if it's proper £££ wood or cheap laminate. It's hard and slippery and has no place in a British home. If you live somewhere warmer, I might let you off.
I'm not mad on the hearts and slogans crap but give me that over soulless furnishings, neutral colours and nothing revealing any hint of personality.

I always check out Next Home to work out what not to buy.....

What is allowed:

Anything you, personally, love. It's YOUR home FFS!

Scrum

That horrific brick effect wallpaper!

And anything with bling!

As opposed to this

Basically nothing is allowed...

Fucking feature walls, I hate them.

Horizontal thick striped nylon shiny curtains

Laminate flooring
All fake wood
Carpets in bathrooms
Wood chip wall paper
Leather dining furniture
Mirrored picture frames
Rooms painted in 'statement' colours - especially red - really oppressive
Fake flowers
Inspirational artwork
High gloss kitchens in bright colours
Office style blinds
Blank walls where fire places have been removed
No pictures
No books
Clutter

Cheap laminate just looks like cheap laminate, horrible stuff. Plus dust gathers in the corners far more, and far more visibly, than with carpet. After erroneously installing cheap laminate in my house in the 90s, like everyone else, I vowed to never let that stuff entire my abode every again.

It's quite funny watching cats slither over it though, I'll grant you that.

I can't with those glittery stairs 😭 what the fuck.

I have fitted carpets, a brown leather suite, cream fabric dining chairs, lladro figures and even a small vase with fake flowers and a peacock feather. It is tucked into a corner so not to in your face but the fake flowers were my late mother in laws and the feather was a gift from my son that he found on holiday nearly 15 years ago.
Nothing designer about my house. It is a homefullof general crap collected over the years.

Allowed in mumsnet world I meant,,,😂

another20, I just had a quick look at the Next Home website, out of curiosity. With you there . Not least because.....(hoiks bosom)...they have a misplaced apostrophe on their homepage. "Sofa's" indeed!
