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.

Grey. Spotlights in the living room (unless in a modern house). Fake grass - an eco nightmare. Books arranged by colour rather than by author (how do you find anything?)

Just been looking at a house on rightmove that has taken the bath in the bedroom and gone 'hold my pint' , there is also a sink and toilet and they are up little steps, so on a raised platform in the corner of the room !

Monochrome and
Open plan... especially kitchens.... I do not want to live in my kitchen

I have dark brown leather 2-seater sofas, unfortunately I can't change them until the cat departs to the great cat basket in the sky as he's scratched the bases and I am not going to risk brand new ones being ruined.

I probably have about six years still to wait, until then, I'm stuck with them.🙄

And ensuites.... who want to sleep by a toilet ?????

I actually want to paint the entire downstairs of my house white because it is so dark, only two windows and north/south facing but surrounded by trees. If I paint it cream/grey it absorbs the light and if I go dark its like living in a cave !

Was coming in to say grey, so fed up of interiors that look like battleships, but I see many others are also of that opinion. When half the properties in Homes under the Hammer are being greyed by their investor buyers, it must mean the trend is on its last legs!

A TV that’s too big and out of proportion for the room that it’s in.

Open plan houses, give me individual rooms any day

Anything mahogany or pine.
Wooden legs on any seating.
Wallpaper.
Massive TVs.
Magnolia (I don't mind a little grey)
Big plants

I hate houses that you don’t feel comfortable in.
Houses are homes.

Those part plastered, part exposed stone walls that just look as if someone ran out of plaster. If I had to live with that I'd have to complete the plastering otherwise it would annoy me intensely every time I looked at it.

Only way to get a decently sized sofa in our oddly shaped living room.... And it was flat pack, arrived on a pallet, made out of MDF

Personal hates are stripping out period features, and then shed loads of halogen downlighters.

Mural wallpaper. Don't understand that.

Black taps

Beams on ceilings, especially dark ones
Fireplaces in bedrooms
Exposed brickwork
Oversized handles on kitchen cupboards and fridge freezers
Dark coloured furniture

And outside:-
Decking

I’m ticking off the interior design hates in my house. Don’t care, I live here and I like it.
Grey wallpaper
tv on wall
shutters
tiles bathroom
metro tiles in downstairs loo
leather dining chairs
😝😝😝

In fact, I don't like exposed stone walls generally. Inevitably they're dark and gloomy and they just make life difficult if you want to hang pictures, put up shelves etc.

Seconded! It's incredibly lazy as art and just comes over as naff.

Those fucking dark blue kitchen units everyone has. Normally combined with a particular kind of kitchen tap - see pic.

The nude-shade/rose pink bridesmaid dress of the kitchen: both styles will define our age.

Grey
Plastic plants
Plastic flowers

These. Every fucker has them, I swear.

Curtains that are longer than the window and flop on the floor. Always looks like the measurements were wrong.

I am wondering why the hate for black taps. I think they are brilliant as the old chrome ones needed shining all the time - the black taps don't show any finger marks.

Leather/fake leather sofas
Carpets
Everything matching
Light-coloured kitchen units

Anything considered bling. Greige, heavy wood furniture.

All walls painted either white or grey, or with white or grey 'toned' wallpaper.
A heavy black presence.
Fully fitted kitchens.

I like you. Rest of the comments I read before this sound quite hateful and judgey!
