Designer Mould???

[HepLaurenceLB]

Why? Just why would someone decorate their house with pretend damp an Mould?

YABU: it looks lovely
YANBU: WTF

The green room and the pink room are ok. It's an interesting mix of original colourful (and mouldy!) spaces and a dull predictable kitchen, hallway etc. Anyway, I suspect the new owners will rip it all out.....

[quote Maireas]@DappledThings.... Too much grey! The kitchen alone... 😱[/quote]
But the kitchen is mainly white and blue! Grey window frames admittedly but isn't navy blue the main colour? Maybe it's the blue/gold dress equivalent!

Indeed, Dappled!! I'm just looking at those kitchen cupboards... Window frames etc

@FatimaLovesBread

I'm sure I've seen that green bathroom with the copper bath on Instagram 🤔

Probably. Part of the mammoth description is about how Siouxsie, the owner, has made a profitable business out of letting the house be used for photoshoots.

What I want to know is why are there so many photos of the same things. Only one photo of the back garden and loads of single rooms.

😍😍😍

From their own website:

'Spare Bedroom

This is set up as a large family bathroom with a copper roll top bath, however the bath is a prop, no plumbing. Offering one green panelled wall and lots of unique shelving and a beautiful ravaged burnt fireplace.'

So they've literally wasted a whole room with a fake bath?!

Siouxsie. Of course.

I think I love it, but then I follow an Instagram account that is almost exclusively photos of abandoned Italian villas...

I love it. I also follow an abandoned building Instagram page so maybe it’s a thing?

@flightsoffancy @Brogues what pages please? Thank you.

Photo 18 wtf?

@goose1964

Photo 18 wtf?

Do you not have a Goth Taxidermy room?

They obviously ran out of cash with the remodel and decided to paint the mould to make it a 'thing'.

Im just glad my house is now effortless designer. Finally, I'm on trend! 👌

Photo 18 is wtf? Yet photo 19 is yawn...

@KurriKawari I can’t immediately see it on my massive list but I will try and remember when it pops up on my feed again. It’s more North American architecture but so beautiful.

Parts of it are delightful. I will be borrowing that kitchen shelf idea.
The Victorian museum room is a bit grim. There are no curtains in the bedroom? It's all very staged.
(on further reading, I see this is the very idea and it is loaned out for magazine shoots!)

I think it looks amazing! Love it.

Other than the mould look I absolutely love the look of this house!

There's no accounting for taste.
Each room is equally hideous and you couldn't pay me to live in it.

I'm going to take a wild stab that this house is used as a set more than it's been used as a house latley

I love it. I love the house and the mould!

That's at the arse end of Streatham. £1.75m is ridiculous. It's vacuous and staged.

Not my taste but it's described as a 'modern Gothic' location for photo shoots - so I guess if that's what sells, the mortgage pays for itself. The novelty of that copper bath would wear off after the first week!

The most offensive thing is the neon OPEN sign above the fridge. Jars stylistically, I don’t see the point of it if it’s descriptive (the fridge is shut) and I hate being told what to do if it’s a command (no thanks). I’d rip that out before I ripped out the probably-stupid-expensive mould wallpaper.

But it is actually a house specifically for renting out for photoshoots. I don't think they've claimed otherwise. It even has a link to their website www.kempshottroad.co.uk where you can see how many magazines it's been featured in. I wonder if the buyer will actually want to live in it, or if they'll continue using it as a photography location. Personally I'd love to live there but it would probably take a while for people to stop knocking on the door.
