Those who don't decorate but wear designer

[OceanStorm]

AIBU to think those who choose to not properly decorate their homes but wear designer clothes/beauty treatments have their priorities wrong? Is it a class thing?

Same. I'd rather save up for a holiday than paint for the house when the white paint on my walls are perfectly fine.

YABU. And ridiculous.

Why is renting a council flat a drain on society?

We buy a house not a home clever clogs.

If you would like to talk class, I have spent time with plenty of titled peers with incredibly undecorated houses. Dukes, Marquess's, Lords. Never have I thought they had decorated nicely and I'm sure you'd think the same

You do know that if your wood chip is more than 3 days old it's classed as dated and must be removed and replaced with brand new wood chip don't you , tsk tsk tsk how very unkempt your home must look ! 🤣🤣🤣.

@OceanStorm we make our own art finger painting? Photo jigsaws? Sandscapes ? Water colour ? Oils ? Life size marble statues ?

The wallpaper in my home is about 20 years old and gets repainted every couple of years so where does that put me on your very odd scale ?

Low blow for the OP who is one of those people who have to buy their own furniture!

But is the cat curated? Only then can it truly be a home 🤣

What kind of art do you ‘decorate’ with OP? Genuinely curious.

Has the boyfriend been curated? Is he a highly educated home owner? Does he drive a Mercedes?

Does he play golf and vote Conservative?

Maybe she’s into diamond painting? Something like this?

My pets go with the decor so if I repaint the walls then the dog will also get the once over.

Tell us about your house OP. Has every room been decorated recently? How often do you redecorate? What colours and themes do you like?

She also had to buy her own house instead of simply inheriting a stately home from her ancient family.

I would like to know how the OP is defining 'art' too.

And 'highly educated'.

Do you have original paintings on the walls or just prints? Family portraits or photos?

Do you have a Masters' Degree or a PhD?

Oh lord we need the laughing emoji back ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Who said it’s a ‘free house’? You do realise that working people also live in council houses & pay their own rent?

So in my opinion, rugs are disgusting dirt traps to hide crap flooring, white walls are optimal for showing off art and lamps are weird and means you couldn't be bothered to properly optimise your fixed lighting, presumably due to lack of skill and taste. But I respect your choice to decorate your house in such a horrible way, so how about you try to respect other people

Curated art as well as curated furniture, no doubt. Bet you've had to buy your own furniture as well.

Yes it’s definitely lower class to worry about how other people decorate their house or what clothes they wear.

I moved into this place in '87, if I recall correctly. The wood chip has been repainted, but I can't remember the last time I did it.

The whole point of wood chip, according to my Aunty Mary (circa 1967) was that you would never need to paper again. nods solemnly

I think both overly polished homes and designer clothes are tacky. Screams try-hard at best.

Ahhhh! The usual performative crap then.
It must be so tiring looking for cues to the social standing of others 🥱.

Please explain what you mean here @OceanStorm ? Would you say that to someone's face or just from behind a keyboard?

I have zero interest in home decor. I love fashion.
