I love this. Is it hideous?

I think I want this for my hallway. Minus the crystal trees on every level, do you think it's naff or nice?

Considering it and the sideboard attached.

Thanks Smile

I like it Smile

overnightangel · 17/12/2020 21:09

Oh I mean I like the shelf thing ... the sideboard is horrible

tingletime · 17/12/2020 21:15

Thanks @overnightangel

One out of two ain't bad, I guess Grin

Any suggestions for a sideboard?

I disagree, I loveeee the sideboard. But I'm not British so my tastes are more modern than traditional.

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 17/12/2020 21:20

I like the shelf thing but not the sideboard. If the bottom drawers/cupboard doors were solid I would.

JonHammIsMyJamm · 17/12/2020 21:21

I don’t like either, sorry OP

DrDetriment · 17/12/2020 21:22

I like the shelf if you have a cute cottage. Hate the sideboard.

Cheesypea · 17/12/2020 21:24

Like shelf.
Dislike sideboard

weepingwillow22 · 17/12/2020 21:25

The sideboard looks a bit like it belongs in a kitchen with potatoes, apples etc in the drawers. The shelf is quite twee but could work in a cottage, depends on the style of your house.

piscis · 17/12/2020 21:25

I don't love or hate either of them. Depending on the rest of the house...but I just don't feel these two belong together, very different styles

christmasathomeagain · 17/12/2020 21:26

I like both, really like the sideboard

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 17/12/2020 21:26

I love the shelf, right up my street.
The sideboard is ok but would be nicer without the gaps in the drawers.

goodwinter · 17/12/2020 21:27

I think they're both ok although not to my taste really, but I will say they both look suited to completely different styles. The shelves look rustic, natural, cottagey. The sideboard is all straight lines. I don't think they mesh well together, sorry.

SunshineOutdoors · 17/12/2020 21:28

You’ve already said you love it. I could understand if you weren’t sure, but everyone’s got different tastes, so what difference does it make if strangers don’t like it? At least if it’s not universally loved it means it’s not a fad and you’re just following your natural style. That’s got to be a good thing. I say get them and enjoy.

Aquamarine1029 · 17/12/2020 21:30

I like the shelf, think you could do a lot better with the sideboard. I don't think it compliments the shelf.

emilybrontescorsett · 17/12/2020 21:32

I like the shelf but not the sideboard.

tingletime · 17/12/2020 21:36

Thanks all.

I was going for a kind of beachy/cosy feel, hence the white sideboard. Unfortunately, it's not a nice little cottage I have. I wish! It's an old tenement flat.

Well they don't match so not sureI would have both, but I agree that the sideboard isn't great although I like the shelf.

Toototwo · 17/12/2020 21:45

Stick to your own personal taste. If you love it, then it's lovely. It's your home x

NewlyGranny · 17/12/2020 21:45

Those ventilated drawers - or are they snug crates? - would be great for vegetable storage, or if you are living in the tropics where things quickly go mouldy inside closed spaces.

You have whatever makes you happy!

Crafting1Queen · 17/12/2020 21:46

Love, love, love the driftwood shelves. No like the sideboard, sorry, plus I don't think it matches/goes with/compliments the shelves (also, how many times are you/someone going to get their finger/finger tips/nails caught/snagged in the wee openings - and the dust that will let in lol)

JassyRadlett · 17/12/2020 21:47

I might not dislike the sideboard with solid doors - the vents look ugly.

I agree that it’s totally different in style to the shelf. I think they’d look very odd together.

BruceAndNosh · 17/12/2020 21:48

You need something more rustic to go with the shelf.
The sideboard looks a bit too Next

Hassled · 17/12/2020 21:49

I love the sideboard. The word shelf thing looks like it came from a hobbit's house.

DramaAlpaca · 17/12/2020 21:50

Not keen on either, sorry.

Your house though, so if you love them go for it.
