To ask your interior design hates

[Pleasehelpimexhausted]

For me it’s got to be those massive bloody clocks made up of parts which get stuck to the wall. We’re house hunting at the moment and they’re in almost every kitchen. Those and navy walls nearly always coupled with wicker furniture and cheese plants - it feels like such a ‘done’ look now.

Interested to hear yours!

Those awful white handleless kitchen cabinets.

Grey everywhere.

Grey.

Grey grey grey grey grey

Anything from Designer rooms

all glitzy & crushed velvet silver

When everything is grey, it looks like a black and white photo!

Mrs Hinch grey

The fact everyone has loads of plants, 🥱

Fake wood panelling

The clocks here too! Still everywhere.
Grey everything
Crushed velvet with mirrored surfaces and crystal accessories

I still think the navy wall thing looks nice, - and no, I don’t have one!

Words or Slogan 'Art'. Just makes me irrationally angry.
Diamante anything.
Matching units of furniture

Grey

What's wrong with plants? I have loads of them. They make me happy

Grey.
Live Laugh Love or similar on the walls.
More fucking grey.

I have to confess unfortunately my kitchen IS dark grey, lighter worktops dark wood effect floor... but I had very little choice from Howdens range (grant funded kitchen) so it was the best I could do and im now trying to inject colour into it (red kettle, red sodastream!)

panelling
great big “our family rules blah blah “ signs

Yes those massive clocks. And the greige glumness. And big canvass pictures of highland cows.

It endures and I suspect always will, but for me minimalism is awful. Soulless.

TVs nailed to walls.

Anything with Live Laugh Love on it.
Giant clocks
Diamanté anything
Grey laminate floors
Magnolia
Cheap looking curtains
Anything too matchy

Feature walls

Media walls

Granite / quartz / marble worktops. Especially when paired with high gloss units.

Also I just painted my living room dark green and it feels dated already. I think it’ll be the next thing to go out. Sigh.

Oh and gallery walls. I still quite want one though.

Also open plan personally

Granite / quartz / marble worktops

I really want a granite or quartz worktop - so much more practical than laminate. My worktop hate is wood.

Any sort of wall decal! Or under / oversized furniture clearly not sized well for the room.

Oh they definitely are the most practical. I don’t mind them when they’re not sparkly or faux marble effect. I like the look of wood but it is a pain to take care of.

High gloss, especially in ‘cold’ colours - brilliant white, cold grey, shiny black, acid green….

Big wallpaper patterns

No books, pictures or photos.
