Apart from messy? 🤣

I dunno. I like it though (except for the rug just because it doesn't really "go' stylisti cally). It looks a bit luxe, with the fluffy pillows and damask wallpaper. I don"t know why people are being so mean - I definitely prefer this look to the uniquitous "grey everywhere, mirrored furniture, crushed velvet sofa, minimalist kitchen' bore-fest! Or navy panellin (yawn).

@Feelingofftoday and @Clandestin thank you! Sadly I am not SausageRolls though.

Well, I suppose it's good that there are two people on Mn riffing off Starship lyrics? Grin

I might go for KneeDeepintheHoopla or MarconisMamba next name change...

Anyone who says that's messy would faint if they saw my house.

ClinkeyMonkey · 20/10/2021 17:05

So you want an opinion on a random room from Pinterest, which has nothing to do with you AND you want to get arsey when people say what they see. Why so sensitive? You called it 'god awful' yourself. I don't get it ...

@Clandestin Grin

I am also going to build Cis City on Brainwashed Proles too Wink

Someone who thinks Ms Hinch has good taste but also likes pink.

frazzlesmore · 20/10/2021 17:27

Pink is up in terms of interiors but the shade is wrong & it's far too matchy. H

GoldenOmber · 20/10/2021 17:28

This is a weird thread.

My living room is decorated in the 'Crime Scene in the Duplo Factory' style. You'd HATE it, OP.

[quote iamnickiminaj]@Aquamarine1029 yes I agree. I seen it on Pinterest Confused and it's god awful. Someone called it 'retro' - I think not. [/quote]
Apparently anything older than 10-15yrs is fair game for being labelled as "retro". This looks like late 90's early 2000 to me so the retro label makes sense.

Oswina · 20/10/2021 17:35

It doesn't look messy at all to me

TracyLords · 20/10/2021 17:36

Well, this thread s nasty. Let’s all bitch about someone’s living room (which is a normal looking living room...)

SuperTiredBaileys · 20/10/2021 17:42

I think I'm missing the point, but what is that blue thing lying by the sofa? A dead body with a blanket over it?

Is this a crime scene OP and you want to check no-ones noticed the body?

Alonelonelylonersbadidea · 20/10/2021 17:46

There is NO style.

My god.

Funnylittlefloozie · 20/10/2021 18:10

Tbh, it looks like a squat. Its awful.

LadyJaye · 20/10/2021 18:13

Unfortunately, the first time I looked at this picture, the two things that caught my eye were the bannister, which looks like a folded-up ironing board, and the carpet which brought back SCREAMING memories of the carpet in the common room of my university halls of residence, and now I can't unsee either of them.

Chicchicchicchiclana · 20/10/2021 18:24

I can't think of a word to describe the style. I would say it doesn't have a style, it seems a bit of a mish mash.

whineochoc · 20/10/2021 18:33

It's someone trying to follow the trends but on a basic budget and doing their best. Not my taste but each to their own.

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 20/10/2021 18:48

"Looks like a squat" Hmm FFS have you heard yourself?!

I have no idea why people are being so fucking rude about someone's home (which looks absolutely fine to me). I agree with the PP who said it's very easy to say this kind of stuff online but would people making comments like this, actually walk into someone's house and say "your house is shit and your front room looks like a squat"?

If you would, well, you're just a rude insensitive knobhead. If you realise that this wouldn't be an acceptable thing to say in RL - then why are you saying it from behind a screen? HmmIt's so cowardly and you just look (as my DC would say) like you're a massive Edgelord. It's really not a good look (ironically).

It’s not to my taste but a squat?! Can you hear yourself?!
MrsRobbieHart · 20/10/2021 18:58

A squat?? 😂 you’ve clearly never stayed in a squat.

frazzlesmore · 20/10/2021 19:31

A squat?! wow imagine being so sheltered 🤦‍♀️
