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.

Cos it’s shite and ugly.

Oh very good. Keep it classy.

What is your idea of decoration, I wonder? Shall try not to guess…

Personally hate when a house is a certain period but people then either try to remove all character or try to make it look like something different. Furniture and decor should take their cue from the house itself. I realise this doesn’t apply to say a brand new house that’s a blank canvas, mind.

A wall decal saying “Hate, mock, sneer”.

(Honestly, it’s a fairly lighthearted thread with equal opportunities for dislikes. Plenty of my decor has been slammed!)

Can you buy those?

It can be too slavish though. That’s equally bad.

Someone on your local Facebook selling site will be able to knock that up for you no problem. Just look for the ads for cheesy personalised Christmas baubles, etc.

Composite/ plastic front doors - they are very good and practical but just don't look as nice as wooden doors.

I just love this company www.londondoor.co.uk but can't afford any of them 🙁

I shouldn’t laugh really but that was never going to be a good question to ask😂😂😂

Let's always be kind and classy.

Oh yes I do love a slim line telephone

😂

Sorry to the #bekind posters but I am enjoying this thread. Any my decorating choices have been laughed at too.

In the interests of full disclosure I have too many plants, my rug is too small according to many, one of the sofas is against a wall (for shame), I have minimalist tendencies, use pops of colour and have open plan. I also have exposed TV wires, and grey carpets and grey faux marble tiles.

These are all crimes to someone on this thread.

Previously guilty of mint green bathroom suite and a small fridge. Please also take student based offences like Frank Zappa poster and lava lamp into consideration before sentence

Shower curtains, Toilet Brushes, fairy lights round everything unless in child’s room, stick lights, mahogany furniture, mats round the bottom of toilet, net curtains, woodchip paper, dado rails, mug racks

Some of the interior dislikes described are surely features you don’t see very often at all these days.

This^ for instance.

Nah, my PILs’ house is wall-to-wall wood chip, nets, loo carpets and mahogany. And we’ve just moved into a fixer-upper that’s the same – even the bloody ceilings are woodchipped. Took down the nets the minute we moved in but a glance out of the window reveals more or less the entire street is net-curtained except for our house now.

Dado rails are everywhere on Instagram though, people are intent on installing them. And personally I love a shower curtain and can’t abide a shower screen.

Same stuntbubbles when we moved into our home we had woodchip everywhere omfg nightmare. Nets etc working progress, we are getting there though

oh yes woodchip - also polystyrene tyles and bloody Artex - it was rabid in this house

I honestly think the biggest crime against interior design is saying “pop of colour” do people actually say that in real life.” I think I shall buy red curtains for a pop of colour in our otherwise drab and dreary longe”. No one says pop of colour. Not unless you’re Linda bloody barker. 😂

I still have my lava lamp from my student days. It's been through more replacement was bottles than I can even count, and I must have owned it for nearly half my life. And I still love it. So nur 😛

Wax bottles. Not was bottles.
