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?

Bat shit

Our walls are white and likely staying white because it's a council house and if we ever moved out, we'd have to paint it all white again and I don't care enough to have different coloured walls just to possibly have to paint them all white again in the future.

We have a rug in the living room and cushions though but no art on the wall.

Lololol.

Or even like "curettage"?

Think that’s a design classic; the equivalent of a little Channel jacket 😁

You put bat shit on your walls?

An interior mooning garden gnome, for instance. Or china ducks flying diagonally across your wall. Or a standard lamp shaped like a leg in a stiletto and fishnets.

Why would anyone even care about this? I don't have designer anything and my home is rented and pretty basic in terms of decor. Outdated, one night say. But so what? It's comfortable and lived in and we love it and our saggy DFS sofa.

Does Holo Taco count as designer? Because I've bought quite a few nail polishes since I moved into my flat but haven't painted yet. Only no one sees my bottles of nail polish. 😁

I have got loads of fleece blankets, fancy cushions, candles and decorations though, mostly Halloween/autumn/pumpkin themed, and I've stuck pictures on the walls (Pusheen ones and an Evanescence poster from 2017.)

Are you suggesting her top isn’t real?

Curated bat shit.

This is hilarious. Im going to change my username to CarefullyCuratedFurniture.

Is that what the OP means do you think? Instagrammable beige and grey or it's not 'proper'?

Is that you Ozzy Osbourne?!

no, I was quoting one of their earlier posts that referenced a ‘neutral palette’.

Leave my Muriel out of it!

Why do you equate white walls with not caring? My walls are white because I like white. Curated white, if you will.

Decorating is much harder work than dressing up. People can't always manage it. People aren't often prepared to do it themselves either when they physically could. Decorating is also expensive, I have done an awful lot of it over the years. The last room I decorated I kept a tally for, a utility with reused cabinets, making curtains and painting myself cost around £600 in materials, shelving etc. I bought second hand for that and was given some materials. Still waiting for a small handy man type job to be done there, have been waiting over a month for them to fit us in. Really messy and a hassle when everything from the room you are doing is all over the house. There is absolutely no comparison between that work and getting some clothes.

Also, why do you think council housing is free?! Pretty sure council tenants pay rent.

Jumped the shark here, mate. Well played, though.

'Decorative items' 🤣🤣🤣
They're called dust gatherers around here!

@art??

Taxpayers money goes to councils to maintain and social housing. Also the opportunity cost of rent it out below market rate

Free? I pay rent.

No, I can't say I care enough about changing the colours of my walls only to have to put them back to how they were should we move in the future.

It's clean, including the walls. They are just staying white. I really don't see the big deal.
