(Tap once on the banner pic to get a page of photos, then click on one to step through them if you wish. It doesn't react well to enlarging pics, though.)

It's not even my taste, but everything feels so right, somehow.

It will enlarge OK on the page of pics, but not if you're looking at an individual pic - it jumps backwards.

I'd imagine that's what Rod Stewart's gaff looks like. I'm not keen.

What is the weird maroon thing in the kitchen?
Not my taste either, but there is no clutter, the proportions work and there is a kind of continuity with occasional bit of quirk, the stained glass peacocks, the lilac chair etc.
Carefully styled and photographed.

MurderAtTheBeautyPageant · 27/02/2023 17:36

the thing in the kitchen looks like a saw you'd see in a deli for shaving thin slices of parma ham.

cravingtoblerone · 27/02/2023 17:47

Doesn't do it for me. Too frilly by half. I prefer more of a clean Scandi aesthetic....

Corsica2023 · 27/02/2023 17:49

Not my thing.

2bazookas · 27/02/2023 17:50

It's a uniform period style throughout.

What's "eclectic" about that?

mewkins · 27/02/2023 17:55

I wouldn't call it eclectic. It isn't very interesting either.

Artisticpaint · 27/02/2023 17:57

That’s not eclectic

WonderingWanda · 27/02/2023 17:57

I don't think it's eclectic, very boring too.

mastertomsmum · 27/02/2023 18:01

I think that’s just $$$ that isn’t modern or mucky mansion 😂

My totally favourite interior EVER is the sicilian villa in season 2 of White Lotus. I would just die for a house like that.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 27/02/2023 18:03

No, it's not eclectic in the usual sense, which is multi-coloured & hackneyed or terribly British 'posh'. That's why I appreciate it. I mean, what's not to like:

I love eclectic....but that's not it. Not colourful or quirky enough for my tastes......

AdventFridgeOfShame · 27/02/2023 19:42

Not eclectic at all.
What is going on here?
A large beige room with ugly beige sofas stuffed up against the walls as if the building was a two up two down. Move the furniture in, invite some mates round and paint the walls one of those lovely deep colours on the rug, open wine.

The most pointless coffee table ever 😄 unless you've got really long arms.

Whiskeypowers · 27/02/2023 19:49

That’s not remotely eclectic
something an ageing premier league manager would be shifting

PleaseJustText · 27/02/2023 19:56

It's more old fashioned than eclectic to me.

dudsville · 27/02/2023 20:00

I agree with some other pp's, seems more traditional than eclectic, those dudes standing guard at the sofa is just random.

gluenotsoup · 27/02/2023 20:07

I’m not keen at all. For me, that’s more over ornate and fussy than eclectic.

highfidelity · 27/02/2023 20:23

Eh? That's not eclectic. It's a bit of a mess in terms of taste - it's not bad taste, there's just no real taste. Also, and on a design note, given the size of the rooms, the sofas should not be pushed up against the walls.

Caviarandgelatine · 27/02/2023 20:26

That's the opposite of eclectic. Every room is the same: traditional rug, dark wood furniture, chandelier. It's very boring

Yes, old fashioned. I wasn't expecting these pics at all.

catfunk · 27/02/2023 20:27

I wouldn't day that's eclectic, it's a pretty uniform style apart from the hideous kitchen furniture.
Definitely feels like the home of a tasteless very rich celebrity.
