To ask your interior design hates?

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.

@Beammeupdude My wardrobe finds your opinions OFFENSIVE and has challenged you to a duel.

I also love lava lamps. Not even in an ironic, I-had-one-when-I-was-too-young-to-know-better way. I just love them. So blobby. I might have to add one to my Christmas list.

Every bloody house we have moved into has had woodchip on the wall (and Jarvis never has been round to call)

seriously, the hours we have spent trying to get it off.

this time; we’ve just painted over it in the hope that one day it will come back into fashion

@Laurendelaney1987 I stayed in a v nice hotel a few years ago & the walls definitely looked like they had woodchip painted white. It wasn’t an old hotel either If you look closely…

I accept and a slap your wardrobe with my glove.

Further disclosure - lava lamp was kept and now in DC bedroom.

Also I have some dried flowers. So brown and tasteful

Walk down an average street and net curtains are very popular. We recently replaced our inherited nets with blinds so I've been taking notice and so many people have nets.

You can't twitch a blind - it makes a clanking noise that gives you away

Yes with a blind your only option is to Maintain The Peep

Woodchip 🙀🙀🙀🙀faints at the memory of my first house and having to scrap the godawful stuff off.
Nothing, absolutely nothing would ever make me put that stuff on again.

@Penguinsaregreat Any tips for removing the fucking stuff? The previous owners of my house put it up on freshly plastered walls! So not even a hangover of past trends or covering dodgy plaster. But an active modern decor choice FROM HELL.

I have at least one Gérard Depardieu in each room…

This thread is hilarious.

Rooms that are exact replicas of the bar from 'Cheers'

Purely theoretical couches

Eggs as light bulbs

@Beammeupdude - I think that's pretty unreasonable really. Everyone knows that making your way in the world today takes everything you've got

Agree with this except for range cookers. Would never want one but think they’re okay if in keeping with the period/style of the house.

We have plain nets and I don't really care what others thing, clearly most other people in our road don't care either as they have them as well and when I walk into town most of the houses I pass have nets. I did look as I saw a thread on here once that said that nobody had them.

We have nets. Can’t afford blinds and most blinds wouldn’t suit the house anyway (Victorian, big bay windows). We are on a main road and next door to a shop, so we need something for privacy.

What’s wrong with mahogany furniture? I have a few bits - it’s Georgian!

Maybe Jarvis DID come round to call.

But you just didn't notice him

at all

@herecomesthsun love it!

We have it too. Much too much effort to get rid, and it does cover up all sorts of cracks! But we've lived here for nearly 20 years and it hasn't come back into fashion yet :(

People that get upset and or offended by a random person or person on the internet slating their choice of home decor have no business being on the internet and should retreat to their safe place in Home Bargains or whatever shop it is that sells the kind of crap they like.

Until now I have erased it from my memory.
It took absolutely ages to remove and it brought some of the plaster off the wall too. I tried scouring it will a wallpaper scraper, then pouring water into the gaps to try and soften it. In the end I had to hire a machine from the local paint shop which kind of steamed it off. I could only afford to hire it for a day as well.
I don’t think I have ever put anything other than paint on the walls since, such was the trauma it caused.
