Wow, Davethecat, that wallpaper definitely makes a statement! PERSONALITY - love it! Thanks for the pic. :-)

Never mind the HoH wallpaper, lets have a look at those lovely tiles behind the sink! We want a tour of @Daves house

@Inasec24 you’ve just described my home ❤️ It also featured heavily on the most hated features 😂😂

Wooden flooring, loads of books, loads of framed pictures or prints that have personal significance (ie not bought en mass from IKEA), very comfortable sofas, bright rugs, plants, floor-length curtains, walls painted in light or bright colours, many clocks.

My books are in alphabetical order so I can find the one I want. Unless I add some, they don't move.

Thanks @Zrt and @mamabear715

My taste is fairly colourful and eclectic and probably ghastly if you like minimalist interiors!

I do love the fact though that I get a fair amount of friends asking me for advice on colour and furniture , which I'm always happy to do. I love interior design!

@Davethecat2000 love it!

@ColdHandsHotHead yes to clocks. I'm on the lookout for one for the living room. Couldn't live without the kitchen clock (which is always set 5 minutes fast)

IKEA stuff
Dunelm mill cushions
Fairy Lights everywhere!
Fairy light twigs
Fresh and clean and neat
House plants
Vase of flowers
Reed diffusers

Part of my toile bedroom

Part of living room
I also like lots and lots of pictures😁

My house! It’s a country cottage, lots of jewel toned velvet furniture and dark walls downstairs. Large inglenook fireplace. Oak floors. Kitchen is a pale pink which sounds odd but it suits the space. I think pink has its place in a country cottage kitchen! It’s a cosy, eclectic house; lots of paintings of horses and wildlife as well as lots of photos of happy events in our lives. A couple of lazy dogs sprawled out on a very large navy velvet sofa complete the picture 😊 it really is my happy place although more suited to the winter and autumn than the summer.

The bedrooms are light and airy. Carpeted throughout. Main bathroom is black and white
Victorian style which I love. I have a beautiful oak four poster bed in the master, it’s modern but a real wow factor piece of furniture. Master bedroom is rose pink and grey with Laura Ashley oriential bird garden (or something like that) wallpaper which is so soothing and restful. My bedroom is a wonderful place to be in.

Which pink is your kitchen @TarquinOliverNimrod ? I'm imagining F&B Middleton pink which I currently have on my loft stairs & it looks great!

I love mid century. I don't have it, but I love it!

@Puddinandpie love your front room!

My living room/ kids playroom are quite bright!

@Davethecat2000 I love the colours in your living room and that rug 😍😍

Like @NeverDropYourMooncup I love green interiors; my dream home is a 1930's semi with soft, dusky green walls, parquet floors, lots of plants and vintage Ercol/MCM furniture.

White/grey as a backdrop to natural tones and colours, especially wood and brick.

Minimal stuff, uncluttered but still feeling homely and lived in.

Kitchen-dining rooms, but a separate living room, so it's not all open plan. Closed cupboards rather than open shelving.

Kilim rugs (I know they're probably passé but I don't care)

Plain coloured bedlinen with lots of texture

Like a PP said, I'm aware that my aesthetic is trendy, so inevitably it'll go out of favour and look dated, but when it's your genuine taste, it doesn't really matter.

Lovely. Reminds me of "Love actually" for some reason. I bet you have beautiful house.

I love wooden floors, mix of antiques with mass produce items (I dislike all Ikea-made interiors), some products made to order like wooden coffee table, bit of colour, warm light. I prefer much more framed picture painted by kids than poster bought on ebay saying "Live, laugh, love" or this sort of thing.
I also like American-style kitchen. They look really cozy. Something like the attached. It might not be the trendiest thing in the world, but I like it.

Beautiful space, I love this.
