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'd love to see that!

I don’t get why people use such vitriolic words. I get rhe op is envious and lost control of herself, but random responders..saying things like it sounds disgusting, awful, grim, horrible.

just why use these words for someone’s home. There is no need. I mean “disgusting” really??

It sounds similar to how my biological aunt’s old house was decorated, and while it wasn’t my taste, I found it comfortable enough. Besides, I was there to socialise, not look at the contents of the house!

Glad you’re not my ‘friend’.

Is your house very boring OP?

The brown and yellow sound quite 70s which is back in fashion. Plus the concrete side tables. All sounds stylish to me. But then I have dark grey (Downpipe!) walls and a blue velvet sofa..

Sounds great actually. My sister spent years doing her whole room in decoupage when we were kids and it looked bloody amazing.

Come on then op, post a picture of your perfect lounge for us to see.
Hers isn't everyone's cup of tea but elements of it do sound very 'on trend'.

I'll see if I can find one.

Sitting room attached.

Tbh I couldn't care what someone elses taste was like as its their home. A friend of mine had taxidermy in hers not my cup of tea but I like seeing people pour their own personality into their home.

If it was filthy and you were surrounded by rats I could understand it.

700% would live there

Oh wow can i come over for a cuppa 😂

Wouldn't work in my house (way too small) but I love it!

🤩💗🤩💗🤩⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wow! No magnolia for you then.

Don't you find yourself screaming?!

Love it!!!

Oh, I know! I mean, really? Sooo 2021!

Fantastic!

You sound pretty snide. Your poor friend has decorated her home to her taste and you come online and say its gross? Gross would be if she had poo decorating the walls and overflowing ashtrays as knick knacks! Hope she sees this and realises what a total cow baggage you are!!

I don't think I could do it, but that doesn't mean I don't like it!

Your behaviour is gross - with friends like you, who needs enemies?

It's not 1980!

I understand completely OP. I cannot imagine why anyone would want to paint their rooms grey, but then I can't imagine why anyone would buy flouncey Little House on the Prairie dresses either.

Some people will do whatever they think is 'on trend'. Others have very different tastes.

It's her house, let her enjoy it in her own way

It's been pretty in fashion for sometime. Do you all live under a rock???

is the pampas grass= swingers thing actually true or a suburban myth/joke? My neighbours have it :/

I think it was briefly somewhat true in the 70s although a lot of people would have had it innocently.
