Could you live with this master bedroom

Every wall covered in Kate Forman fabric (apart from the expense at £90 a metre)?

I think I’d have to channel Bette Davis to be in this room.

AcrossthePond55 · 21/08/2020 15:42

I dislike rooms where red is the main colour, so no I don't like it.

If the fabric were a muted 'cool' colour like a blue or (gasp) grey, with just a touch of 'warm' like yellow I think it would be lovely.

I don't like 'cave' bathrooms either. I just keep imagining having to clean it. Can you imagine scrubbing the shower walls, let alone trying to keep the grout clean? Give me nice smooth tile any day.

Looks like a doll’s house.

Hohohole · 21/08/2020 15:44

Is it fabric?
Fabric.

Are you coming back ?
Are you going to tell us if it is a house you are thinking of buying ? Or somewhere you are staying ?

Madcats · 21/08/2020 15:46

I hope the photos didn't really do the room justice, OP. I would have thought that fabric like that would fade dreadfully in places unless it was a north-facing room/they had fancy film on the windows or UV blinds.

I could easily live with it, but would replace the prints and get a different bad. Imagine the dusting/vacuuming of those walls!

Having seen the link I really do like the rest of the house (it would be easy enough to dispense with the naff bits, which are no doubt "playful").

The designer does seem a bit obsessed with old French knick-knaks (which just look plain stupid in a Traditional English villa). The hallway(?) panelling looks like it has been lifted from a Skandi cafe and I reckon the coal hole shower will be grim unless they have superb ventilation.

It must have cost a bomb!

PoodleMoth · 21/08/2020 15:48

I like it, I would add my own style with the furniture and accessories though

Darcysshirt · 21/08/2020 15:51

Oh, have just seen the rest of the house, I love it all except the bare brick bathroom which is a bit yuk.

Just done the same, and had a look at the rest of it.

Love the kitchen.

irregularegular · 21/08/2020 15:54

I really like it!

Russellbrandshair · 21/08/2020 15:55

No. It looks like acne 🤢

Whenwillthisbeover · 21/08/2020 15:56

My cats would have that shredded off the walls in a couple of weeks.

It looks like The way a dolls house would be decorated.

irregularegular · 21/08/2020 15:57

Lovely house apart from the brick basement bathroom. Impossible to keep clean and dry I would think! And very dark obviously.

netflixismysidehustle · 21/08/2020 15:58

Looks like an old fashioned dolls house. I'd hate it

DotForShort · 21/08/2020 16:01

Not my style at all. The bathroom is even less appealing to me. The kitchen is nice, though.

IDidntChoseThePondLife · 21/08/2020 16:03

OK, I have looked at the house and it is a lovely house, (please can i have it?) and it has been done in a style which I have seen a lot and it seems a bit dated and impersonal. I like exposed brick work, but the comments about the shower room are spot on, it would give me nightmares!
I don't like the bed at all, and think it looks a bit like a dead crab with its legs in the air!
So in summary, looks expensive and very 'done' but seems to lack personality, apart from the dead withered soul of the shower room.

speakout · 21/08/2020 16:03

It doesn't rock my boat, but I don't find it offensive.
If I moved into a property with that room it would be on the list to redecorate, but it would't be urgent.
I also like the bed though.

alfrew · 21/08/2020 16:04

Why would anyone have two identical wall sign thingies on the same wall? That's just weird.

updownroundandround · 21/08/2020 16:05

Nope, absolutely could not live with that.

I once had a similar print (not fabric) in the lounge of a rented flat
and if you were talking to someone and looking at them, the print appeared to move.

Some kind of optical illusion thing. It just made me feel sick and dizzy.

And when you were drunk........................Envy (NOT envy)

I wouldn't want the linen because I've no clue how on earth to keep it dust free.

Jenasaurus · 21/08/2020 16:07

It reminds me of a dolls house decor

Darcysshirt · 21/08/2020 16:08

You coudl hoover the walls with the duster attachment?

cyclingmad · 21/08/2020 16:09

Its hideous, I would completely redecorate and new furniture too

justanotherneighinparadise · 21/08/2020 16:11

I like it!

viques · 21/08/2020 16:12

I could live with the fabric on the walls but those stupid poncy cushions on the bed would be straight out of the window. Hopefully bouncing off the interior designer as they leave...........

I’m thinking the OP is the designer looking for clicks 😉

I like the house but everything is so painfully ‘designed’. It ends up looking soulless, boring and pretentious.

The other projects she has done are similar. Very tasteful but over done. They look like a John Lewis ad not a home.

Having said that I LOVE the harlequin glass in the ‘Chelsea family home’
Anyone know where I can buy it. 😆
