Just saw this house with a theme of GREEN Grin Shock merging seamlessly into a wood.

Love the owner's "there's never enough of green" mantra!

They love the hell out of green, and their living room looks like a circus tent threw up in it.

I actually really like the green and pine. It’s different and reminds me of somewhere warm strangely.

Bluntness100 · 09/10/2020 21:43

That’s one of those houses where it’s actually quite hard to see through the decor to to actual house itself. It’s so cluttered and distracting..,😃

Aquamarine1029 · 09/10/2020 21:46

I looked at the kitchen again... I love it and I hate it. It's quite confusing, actually.

Aqua imagine buying all the green crockery and glass - must take an effort to find every shape! Some ceilings ar green too.
I think they should have contrasted it / calmed it a bit with white in that contrast alert room - not fuschia Shock !

Bluntness you can say that again - but I've seen much worse pics re clutter!

Good grief, I agree. Finding all that stuff must have been a full-time job. I really do love that bright lime green colour, but there's just sooooo much of it and far too much clutter.

Imagine the conversation between the mum (who I assume has picked the decor) and the daughter re: the pink bedroom.

Aquamarine1029 · 09/10/2020 21:56

@ReeseWitherfork

That pink bedroom almost made my head explode. It's like a Barbie playhouse.

In the 2and house I'd keep the stair carpets!

What's the name of that type of photo where all the colours and textures are artificially enhanced like the green house? It's the in thing for estate agents and it makes normal houses look wierd. I mean that house is a bit odd but I suspect in real life it doesn't look as extreme as those images.

HDR - high dynamic range. This is one of the worst over-uses of it I've seen. The agent isn't doing the house any favours with it.
UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 09/10/2020 22:08

I didn't mind the green, in fact when I got to the sitting room and then the pink bedroom, I wished they'd stuck with the green.

BruceAndNosh · 09/10/2020 22:11

@UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername Thank you! I couldn't find it via Google.
It really doesn't work for house pictures- it makes them look like empty houses that have had furnishings added digitally

ReeseWitherfork · 09/10/2020 22:13

That HDR thing appears to be all the rage at the moment, I think it’s bloody awful.

ChasedByFox · 09/10/2020 22:17

I quite like the green house too! Blush
Too many years of renting soulless magnolia boxes.

Porridgeoat · 09/10/2020 22:18

The Southampton house has great floors!

Standrewsschool · 09/10/2020 22:24

I agree with the poster above that I both love and hate the kitchen.

In the second house, I love the parquet flooring and the stair carpet. Some of it is very 80s decor.

Is now the the to mention Changing Rooms is coming back?

I love that reading book in the 2nd house with a handy wine storage easily accessible
