Range cookers
Open fires

Those large rustic beams of wood as fire place mantles

Fitted carpets
Big TVs
Lladro figures
Lots of family photos in a mishmash of different frames
Big leather suites in brown
Curtains with blinds behind.

I also like cream carpets and the occasionally bit of silver bling....

I've a silver life size bulldog....😋

Open fires
Old fireplaces
Sash windows even if they rattle
Decorative coving and ceiling pieces
Wallpaper - FUCK TONS OF IT
Candles and fairy lights everywhere
Tartan blankets piled up on the side to be cuddled into
Linoleum - I have it everywhere (amtico) - easy to clean
Antique shit that doesn't match
Wine fridges/coffee machines/teasmade

YES OP!
I love
My grey kitchen with brass handles and white worktops and my huge butler sink and pulley maid
And my parquet floor
And our vintage style patterned floor tiles in the hall
And duck egg blue on walls with mirrored surfaces
And range ovens
Exposed oak beams
Old books as ornaments

I could go on and on.....

Big tartan rugs
Wallpaper
Love my scented candles and scentsy warmer
Whole house has beige carpet
Would love to have the space for a range cooker
Dc all have fairy lights in their rooms and I live seeing them twin killing away.

I love,

Make do and mend - making something nice out of old/tatty/battered.
Hand sewn and hand knitted blankets and cushion covers (even though I am shit at both knitting and sewing, I've had a go and the results are 'interesting' and certainly unique).

I love decoupage. I've transformed some really rough old furniture with it. Likewise distressing and paint techniques. I decorated my lounge on the cheap last week - two coats of emulsion on the walls, and distressed some old mirror frames and a bookcase with paint, sandpaper and wax boot polish - and it loos utterly fab if I do say so myself.

I love candles, baskets, throws, rugs, floaty voile curtains, old kitchenalia - biscuit tins, utensils, pots, pans, plates, jugs, even my cooker is old - and I mean original old not reproduction old.

My house is a sort of old Hippie, Shaker Style, late 80s/early 90s stencilly, rustic, Shabby Chic country cottage hotch potch.

Most people love it, or say they do, but frankly I don't give a shit what anyone else things, because I love it!

Fairy lights
Floor length curtains on curtain poles but I can't have them in my house
Wallpaper - looks far more luxurious than bare painted walls
Thick carpets (thinking of having one in my bathroom)
Next furniture and accessories
And yes, UPVC windows - warm, draught-free and NO painting

What anyone else thinks

Brick walls (as in decorative brick behind the oven etc) and real wood flooring.

I like the "back to basics" look when it's done well.

Forgot old fireplaces. We have two massive 17th century ones. They are plain and unfussy: the one downstairs contains a massive dog grate that came with the house and the upstairs one contains a multi fuel stove.

Navy blue, pink and grey!
Parquet flooring, teamed with dark walls
White clean walls with wooden floors
Colour, lots of it, everywhere - mish mash of cushions and blankets
Mustard yellow velvet sofas teamed with deep blue teal walls
White quartz worktops
Rolltop baths
Original furniture - modernist and antique
Squashy comfy chairs
Big, wide enormous windows
Deep grey fencing with zingy green plants
Houseplants! Palms, etc
Cupboards and storage - lots of them! Shaker wardrobes, understairs drawers
Fireplaces, wood burners, logs on show in big tall piles
Shutters and velvet curtains

Can you tell this is a wish list 😂

Colour
Mis matched furniture - each piece has a bit of a story
Interesting serving bowls - all with a story
Good lighting - natural or otherwise

Fitted carpets
Red walls
Cheap laminate
Huge flocked patterns on feature walls
Sparkly toilet seats
Twigs in vases
Love, Eat, Fart signs
Square toilets
Violent coloured kitchen appliances on show
Cheap looking glossy kitchens

(Not really )

Feature wallpaper.
Canvasses with kittens and puppies on.
I also have plastic butterflies glued all over my bathroom tiles. DGAF how tacky they are.

White walls, white walls amd more white walls
Wooden flooring -real wood rather than laminate
The occasional feature wall....the flamingo wallpaper I'm away to do in my kitchen/diner will be AWESOME 😂

I love all the stuff people hate

Hanging hearts
Feature walls
Scatter cushions
Crystal door knobs
Grey
Canvas art
Lots and lots of candles

I love my home

Ikea. With a hint of dog.

Jugs!

I have a thing about jugs.

They are such useful wonderful things - at least they were once back in ye olden days. Indespensable I would say.

It started when I found one chucked in a skip at the back of the charity shop I volunteered in. There was nothing wrong with it - not a chip, the manager had just chucked it in there because she couldn't be arsed to rinse it out before putting it on sale.

It is plain navy blue, but a lovely shape, so I stuck a pound in the collection box and took it home. I now have several and I use them to water my pots, for household tasks - rinsing and so on, I put flowers in them, use them as drink pitchers when I'm entertaining.

I love a jug!

Fontella you and I are kindred spirits - I too like jugs! So useful.

Plastic orchids
Black sparkly granite worktops
Leather sofas
So many spotlights it looks like the starship enterprise
