Rightmove house… why the red?!

MNetters why the red?!!!

Lady Byron Lane, Solihull, B93

So many houses with more character and established gardens - perhaps further away from the main road too.

I assume the owner is a massive Arsenal or Man U fan

Or a player!

Nah, none of the Midland teams play in red. The Sutton Coldfield area is popular with footballers too.

It needs more office type areas e.g. Bookcases, desks, ect and a large shed \cabin outside, but overall very nice. Although I'd consider changing the red for deep purple

What so it looks like the regional office block it’s attempting to be?

Very expensive office block 😂

Blimey i knew solihull was expensive but that is eye watering price and yes it looks like someone has added the red bits to add some colour to a very stylish but bland house

Fire the interior designer/stager

They should have used red block paving on the drive

That house is awful! For so many reasons!

Someone told the vendor they needed to add an accent colour and he took the advice very literally. It's a very soulless house.

He? There are womens clothes in the wardrobes in one of the pics.

It's like a garage reception area for MOT/service customers to wait, circa 1980s/90s.

I love grey as much as the next person, but this feels like someone has just discovered the greyscale filter in photoshop. The staircase looks like it should be situated in a tube station. There’s so much space, and none of it used to it’s full potential. That said, I don’t like the second house either - too many beams for my liking.

I think it's just the modern fashion for minimalist all-over grey in a head-on collision with the other modern fashion for 'statements' like one wall with fancy paper in an otherwise visual desert of sensory deprivation.

You can tell I prefer more trad. decor, can't you?

Why is all the furniture so small?

It looks like someone won the lottery, built the big 'dream' house but brought all their old DFS furniture with them.

I imagine this is what nightclubs look like in the day time. I bet that house comes alive at night

I've just had to go back for another look.

I quite like grey and I love red and really contemporary style but it's definitely jarring and I've been trying to work out why.

Have come to the conclusion that it's not the grey per se but the fact the lighting is absolutely appalling and there's a complete lack of shots showing any natural daylight and hardly any with windows which makes it feel really claustrophobic even though its a huge space.

The interior doors are minging as well.

It's a shame because the layout and room sizes are fantastic...I'd love to get my hands on it and redecorate (if I could also pick it up and stick it somewhere with a seafront rear view or in a nice part of Yorkshire!)

Oof. Schindler's List aesthetic

They bought an abandoned MFI warehouse still filled with 1990s stuff, or robbed an Argos depot, and reused the same tiny red rug in every photo 😆
The clothes made me think OCD.

@Nyfluff 😆

I met someone last week (having a coffee with a friend and a friend of her’s joined us) and we were talking houses and you know what’s coming … they said let me show you my dream house… you’ve guessed it folks this one!!

Are they a footballer or formula one driver!?

No an Assessor of a professional qualification via vocational training

It's lovely if they take all the red stuff out of it.
