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.

I think that looks great and yes pampas grass is on trend.

Obviously OP thought her friend was behind on the latest trends but it’s actually OP.

I’m shocked how a ‘friend’ could be so judgemental and rude about another friend.

I used to just have a single mattress on the floor, which was my bed and a place for friends to sit when they came over.

I couldn’t afford anything else for a while and definitely couldn’t afford to paint the walls or decorate in any sort of way because I was skint, but my friends didn’t care or judge me because that’s not what friends do.

The OP described a lot of grey (walls and carpet), and I'm just pointing out that grey is ever popular. Without pictures, it's impossible to determine if we'd personally consider the lounge in question as boring or not.

I hate the internet today

That type of decor is just 🤮

Come on then... post a picture of your house so we can judge it

People with this decor are just jumping on the cheap current trend that you see everywhere. I don’t know what’s worse, grey carpets or grey washed wooden floors

Who wants to tell her?

😂😂😂

On the very slight off-chance that this is real; YANBU to think it's horrible, I would too. But YABU to be astonished that people have different tastes.

You’d hate my place then. Lots of rooms with grey or cream as the base and a striking contrasting colour - and yes, my lounge has grey and yellow tones too.

I love pampas grass- it grows along the seafront in huge swathes at South Shields and it's beautiful. YABVU.

Me too. Its gorgeous. Far prettier and nicer to look at than those stupid trendy glittery twigs in pots which seem to be fashionable now. Why on earth do we have to follow trends?- why cant we just get stuff we actually, you know, like.

That's because everything is bizarre, odd and vile.

Exactly.

Thats the other benefit of pampas grass- it makes people super friendly, you should get some OP and see what happens...

😄

Precisely this. It's strange the way some people on here speak about so-called friends.

The upside down pineapple is definitely a thing. Maybe more American though.

Who has pampas grass in 2024?

People who don't realise OP isn't a friend 😕

There’s no harm in thinking other people’s taste is gross, you can think what you like. But it stops there: thinking. Not telling, or mocking, or criticising, or broadcasting.

This

Its just different taste not bad taste

I really like the sound of the concrete coffee table.

If only I had the means to live in the spacious minimalist warehouse apartment to support such an item.

But the pampas grass can get in the sea.

And would my friends take to MN to slag me off? Should I play it safe from Next?

Your friend does. I expect she'll be an ex friend if she ever finds out about your mean spirited post.

People who are confident to have what they like and who don’t give a fuck what is or isn’t in fashion.

People like me. I also have 80s style black furniture and I don’t care what anyone thinks.

I don't care about fashion but that sounds ugly... she should do what she wants but people are also allowed to not like it.
