To ask your interior design hates?

[Illbeindenial]

Mine are:

Feature Walls
Pampas Grass
Crushed Velvet
Hanging Lights - all on the same beam
Shiny furniture

My house is white and I love it - contrasted with darker wood, artwork, plants and colour from things like cushions etc. and to some that’s absolutely boring and that’s ok.

Nutmegs aren't white.

The cooker in the kitchen is absolutely not from the 70s, neither are the metro tiles.

Well it sure reminds me of an early episode of changing rooms! Yes of course people have different tastes but this thread is about what you dislike and I dislike this decor.

Unfortunately we have one of these. The tiler messed up and tiled floor to ceiling instead of just half way! I really hate my bathroom.

Has anyone said carpet in bathrooms yet? I lived in a rented house with a carpeted bathroom and I hated it. Of course it got wet every time someone had a shower/bath and took ages to dry. God knows what the floorboards underneath look like.

Our bathroom, 1930s house is tiled floor to picture rail.

Going back to the 70s house, what it looks like to me is pictures from the Green Shield Stamps catalogue. And those pictures did not look like a real 70s house either.

Fortunately there are thousands of nearly whites to choose from. One of my biggest decorating disasters of recent years was Dulux Nutmeg White in an east facing bedroom. Never again.

Why are fully tiled bathrooms bad? I don't like it aesthetically but I don't find it as bad as say carpet in the bathroom.

@KimberleyClark - Yes, you're right, they don't belong in the 70s either. The massed produced painting of the exotic looking woman is definitely early 60s. It just doesn't sit right in a 70s lounge.
Because I am ancient, I can remember the trends for turquoise, greens, purples being popular in the early 70s then browns and oranges mid 70s followed by Laura Ashley in the late 70s, early 80s.

I did buy a house with a carpeted bathroom. The house was only a few years old too. We got rid of it as the dcs were very young and the thought of carpet near a toilet toddlers were using was not appealing.
I also wouldn’t mind a totally tiled bathroom, although I’ve never had one.
I agree with the dusk and for metro tiles. Reminds me a smelly public toilets.

Dislike not dusk.

There's a lot of dislike for grey on this thread. Easier to say what I do like. I like a careful mix of neutrals, big windows, high celings, plus some colour, and some pattern. I like old houses but DH is 6'5" so low ceilings are out. The kitchen is neutral with a range cooker (we cook a lot, enthusiastically) and it's large. The sittingroom is large with two patterned sofas, but one is loud and the other not so I think it works with a striped and a plain chair... but there's a lot of red involved. I decluttered for an estate agent's photoshoot last summer, and I thought it looked fabulous in the pictures. No cutesy mottos anywhere though.

Haven't read every comment so most likely repeating some here but my hates are:

Leather dining room chairs
Any crushed velvet
Astroturf anywhere
Grey/white/shiny interiors
Feature wall either paint or paper
Brown leather sofas
Twigs in vases
Huge corner sofas in tiny rooms
Large flat screen tv hung on the wall above the fireplace
Death by 1000 spotlights
Ceiling lights in general. Lamps on tables/floor so much better
Sleigh beds
Plantation shutters
Huge picture windows on landings at the front of the house with enormous light installations.
Shelves with books crammed on in any manner
Black granite work tops

...to name a few!

Houses which are all white or grey
Loads of cushions on a bed which you then have to dump on the floor to actually sleep
Leather sofas
Sofas crammed into kitchens
Bedrooms which 'look like hotel rooms' (not homely at all then?)
TVs above fireplaces or anywhere more then 4 foot off the floor
Books arranged by colour on book shelves - gives me the creeps for some reason. Like books are for show not reading?
More than one colour kitchen unit (i.e. some grey, some white)
Shiny furniture or glass furniture
'Living' walls
1970's flat brown internal doors
Swirly carpets

Grey - absolutely despise it!!!!
Crushed velvet makes me feel sick
Cluttered or Hoarding

I have panelling in a new build and classical taste. Not for everyone but if we were all the same it would be incredibly boring!

I like grey, I wear a lot of grey but it has become the default neutral and has become unimaginative... a short cut to "I can't be bothered to think so I will paint it grey".

That awful style you get in houses that are trying to look posh. Grey and neutral everything with massive mirrors, mock Georgian panelling and crushed velvet textures. Particularly awful is glittery wallpaper and kitchen surfaces with reflective bits in it. Oh and vases of faux flowers.

Grey. Even a hint.

Built in TV wall thingies with spaceship lights.

Those gas(?) fires that are long and thin and kinda look like fish tanks with blue fire in.

Fully tiled bathrooms.

Matching furniture (eg oak sideboard, coffee table and side table combos). 3-piece suites.

Recliners.

Minimalism/white.

Plastic grass. Outdoor bar.

My house is full of colour. I think it’s lovely. It may well not be. The only thing in the list above I actually judge super hard is plastic grass. It moves me to rage. Everything else is just not my cup of tea but can look lovely in other people’s homes.

Oh and I have a huge corner sofa in a tiny room but it’s our snug and I think it works well. Its only job is to be cosy.

I don't like clinical interiors, things that include a lot of white or grey, and every surface shiny. They seem cold and there is nothing to absorb sound. Where people have combined these things with softness and colour, I find it more bearable.
i don't like interiors that are very bland or safe, like hotel lobbies and bedrooms, with lots of beige and magnolia type colours.
There are a lot of other things already on people's lists which I wouldn't have myself but it is quite interesting to see in other houses.

I expect a lot of the things we have are on people's hate lists, but they suit us.
For me, having the TV on the wall is a wonderful solution, as I never once found a piece of furniture to put it on that I was happy with, since we had a (real) wooden cupboard TV ensemble in the 70s. I also hate TV stands.
It isn't above the fireplace but sits unobtrusively on a wall until we want to watch something, whereupon it pulls out on an adjustable arm. I may yet get a cupboard built around it, painted the same dark red as the rest of the walls in that room.
I also have shedloads of books, including SF from way back, collected over a lifetime, which I could never change for kindle editions, even if they were available.
I've got a lot of taxidermy, skulls and curios, too. And panelling in the hall and landing.

I mean, you don’t have to live in someone else’s house. As long as they like it, who cares what you think. Live and let live and stop being so mean

Open Plan
Metro tiles
Anything from Ikea
Too put together and matchy-matchy.

Kitchen islands
Agas
Conservatories
Houses with not enough lighting (just dim lamps)
Fairy lights, LED, strip lighting of any sort
Knicknaks that spell Love, Home
Too many massive frame photos or canvas photos of the occupants
Carpet in living room, dining room, kitchen or bathroom

Photos of family members on the wall arranged symmetrically in rows and columns of identical (white) frames of exactly the same size.

This!! Hideous.
