Interior design loves?

[Bluntness100]

Ok, so what's the betting they are the same as the pet hates thread?

I love

Fairy lights
Scatter cushions
Scented candles
Large rugs
Range cookers
Wood burners ( and log baskets)

I'm sure there are many more,..

Throws, succulents/cactuses, candles (really fucking smelly ones....), family photos on the wall, lots of books, Mediterranean plates and trinkety shit on the walls, footstools, 70s Scandinavian furniture, grey and lemon decor...

I have also developed a habit of buying those little sewing boxes/tables I use one for storing dgd nappies/wipes etc, also love furniture with wheels & have a hankering for a washstand.

Wooden floors
Wooden Venetian blinds
Loads of massive plants
Brightly coloured ceramics and glass
Light wood furniture
Light walls (hate the gloomy battleship grey trend)
Clarissa Hulse
Pip Studios

Proper crystal glassware, in a glass fronted cabinet

I've lots of massive plants too, and they have fairy lights wrapped round them,,

They light up dark corners in rooms in the evening and give a lovely soft warm light.

I've also got fake fur throws that everyone loves snuggling under in the winter. Gorgeously soft and snuggly.

Oh I forgot the huge canvas we have hanging on the way down the stairs. It's is on our wedding day and it's a gorgeous picture of us both and I love my canvas.
I also have a few hanging hearts and a large Next sideboard as well as two next lamps in the same room as our huge telly and floor length curtains.
I have an enormous dfs corner sofa that is excellent quality and is standing up well to three children and a dog.
I didn't realise that so may people would scorn my decor actually until the last thread. I pick what I like and what I'm happy living with not what a magazine or someone else tells me I should.
All 4 bedrooms have feature walls as well oh and so does my dining room.

Thank you Fontella and dontcallmelen I've been collecting it for about 15 years
I use it for sweets nuts and fruits at Christmas
It's not really suitable for every day as it's all embossed
I have quite a bit more!
My every day pottery is portmeirion botanic garden which I have on a dresser in kitchen diner
Don't ask about my glass buying habits! I came home with a carrier bag full of cloud glass from the charity shop today DS just gave me one of those looks!!

I love white. For everything. Bedding, blinds, walls, everywhere. The only walls in the house which aren't white are the feature walls in the DCs bedrooms (one has a huge, terrifying Avengers mural thing which takes up an entire wall and looks like Iron Man is about to launch across the room and makes me soil myself when I check on DS2 late at night, the other has a giant mural of planes which look equally demented but mildly less terrifying).

DH says I'm batshit having lots of pets, DCs and white everywhere but it means when everyone's in bed and the house is quiet and tidy, I feel calm and soothed. I think because I work in a school I'm around bright gaudiness so much I can't deal with it at home.

I also love photos. I have them everywhere on walls (in white frames, obviously). I document every year of the DCs lives because nobody took photos of me til I was adopted at 11 so it's fear of missing something perhaps.

Those who got white living room furniture where did you get from, everywhere I looked online looks shit or to bloody expensive.

The whole of upstairs is ikea but I don't like TVs media cabinets

Another white lover here , I love the simplicity and light it gives the house, I have plain wood too, so house feels Scandic.
I hate clutter.

Hooray! A lovely antidote thread to the other one that got a bit depressing! although I'm still right about wooden seagulls on stilts

I love

Wood burners and log baskets
That Berber rug that's everywhere
Metro tiles
Grey kitchens with warm brass cup style handles
Kitchen islands
Battered brown leather sofas
Vintage furniture in children's rooms
My beautiful king size velvet quilt on my not-king size bed!
Tolix style cafe chairs
Beautiful vintage dressing tables
Dressers loaded with lovely crockery. Especially soup tureens! Here's mine (though not particularly loaded yet)

Oh and wood - unvarnished pale wood

I collect 1930's pottery, here are 4 jugs and lots of 30's teapots, and all the same range actually IN the dresser. I've got 2 full sets collected over 15 years.

I am back with my people!!

I was just reading the other thread about 'hates' and was shocked at the repeated mention of grey paint.

I am planning on painting my hall grey and was slightly un-nerved reading how much it is loathed.

Then I come here and see grey is still loved by those who matter!

So grey it shall be!

And of course, baskets, candles, cushions and other cottagey clutter!

Summat like this .....

I collect 1930's pottery, here are 4 jugs and lots of 30's teapots, and all the same range actually IN the dresser. I've got 2 full sets collected over 15 years.

I love that era - the geometric designs and the colours etc. I had a fabulous 1930s glass ceiling light and a marble mantle clock which I acquired from somewhere, but I ended up giving them to a friend as they didn't really fit with my scheme at home, whereas her place was very Art Deco-ish and they looked fab.

Lots of natural materials plus a smattering of faux fur.
Long curtains
Candles, throws, fucktons of cushions.
Large furniture and great big artwork some original.
Colours- mainly white with silver, pinks and dark blues.
Clutter free as much as possible.
A sheepskin bull stool

I like Scandinavian, modern, some feminine glamour and touch of gothic.
