To think friends decor is gross?

[walkthroughtulips]

Stayed at a friends house this weekend with mutual friends and they raved about how nice her living room is and I was baffled.

It’s an extremely dark grey with one wall with equally dark grey wallpaper. Brown sofas and a yellow armchair. Huge jar with pampas grass. Grey carpet with a cream rug. Black plastic tv stand, concrete side tables.

She must think my deco is gross and shit. But I genuinely was so baffled by their reaction.

Blimey OP you're a bit of a shit person aren't you!

Who cares, you don't have to live there 🤷‍♀️

It was a joke surely

Who has pampas grass in 2024?

The people who aren't slaves to modish conformity.

You like what you like. As long as DF is happy with her room re-vamp, that’s all that matters. Most of my friends have very different taste to me, and both my DBs homes are the complete opposite of mine. I love interior design and architectural design (even though I don’t know much about either ) but I’m sure many of my friends are polite about my taste, while not liking it. Which is fine. They aren’t living here and they don’t have to like it. And I don’t have to be crazy about theirs. Also fine.

I just spoke to someone who said she 'smashed all her original fireplaces out' of her lovely Victorian house today. I was speechless. It's to do with sensitivity I think.

I thought you were going to say she had something like this in every room -ttps://crappytaxidermy.com/

Not just she has grey walls with a yellow accent chair

Odd use of the word "gross". Reserve it for those who floss in public.

Do describe your living room OP.

I would have that 😎

Same

I'd rather a shit house than a shit shallow friend.

I'm saying her house *is shit. Mine is though!

That hurts. It's got to be down to the age of the features, what's going to replace them?

Envy is pointless angst

You sound really mean.

What a weird thing to start a thread about!? Coming on MN to describe someone’s decor and slag it off to strangers who don’t know her, haven’t seen her house and don’t give a fuck what it looks like. Get a life, OP

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and all that. I'd hate to have friends with the exact same opinions, tastes and styles as me

Eh...people with different taste to you! Relax, live and let live, YABVU to be so bitchy and judgmental that some people like different things than you.

so do you think you're more sensitive than them?

Ha! I'd love your critique of my goth house. Though after grey walls and pampas you might have a heart attack

I’d love a friend with a goth house! Please say you have the Mumsnet raven/crow?

That’s only if it’s waving outside willy nilly, you’re fine to have it at home.

Pampas grass is very current, in interior design terms.

You’ve described your friends decor poorly I think, op.

Nobody likes crushed grey velvet anymore though, HTH.

I'm glad you're no friend of mine
How bloody nasty are you?
If your friend is on here and reads this, you won't be a friend of hers anymore

Well it’s not to my taste, but…. ‘gross’??

Surely all the people saying that swingers have pampas grass are being tongue in cheek? I thought it was funny. Was that from the league of gents? Anyway, I don’t think people are saying it’s a fact.

I love a bit of pampas grass, me.
