What is this? Is it wallpaper?

[Ferryl]

I can’t tell! If it’s not wallpaper, is it some new on-trend decorating technique? To my rubbish eyes it looks like mould but all other pics of the house (I’m browsing RightMove) show it in good condition.

Picture wouid help :)

Ew. Looks like damp patches badly partially repaired. Ew IMHO.
We saw a lot of houses when we were looking. Saw some sights, I can tell you, in the quest for 'the one'. Nothing would surprise me!

Bloody hell! There is such a mismatch between the furniture and the chi chi light and the hoarder house walls. It can’t be wallpaper, no one would do that.

Looks like peeling mouldy plaster to me, if the rest of the house doesn't look damp may be a localised ingress from a down pipe or roof leak

Perhaps rather than trying to cover up a problem area they have left it tidy but showing the problem so buyers can see it.

Is it a basement flat?

Considering you say the rest of the house seems ok my bet is that is a wall mural, pretty much like wallpaper so don’t let it put you off, it costs peanuts to paint it over and just a little amount of work to remove it.

The bit above the sofa and the colours matching the decor make me think (ugly) mural rather than damp.

No it’s a house. If it’s a decor choice, it’s not one I’ve seen anywhere else 😬

That is soo weird. I just can’t make it out to be honest. No one would surely market a house in that condition?

Edited - I’ve just looked again and think I’m starting to see an angelic face on the profile. With the mould being the hair?

@Ferryl so you have to go see this house now, because we need to know.
(I definitely still think it's a shit damp wall. I mean, why the bit hidden in the corner of it's decor? Nah. 😂)

I’m not seeing anything angelic! Do you mean by the light?

@TemporarilyCantDoMyself it’s about 200 miles away from where I currently live otherwise I’d happily oblige!

Went to look for the angel, couldn’t see it, but the smaller patch looks like Mr Pickwick and there’s a dead cartoon raccoon in the big bit.show us the listing , maybe it’s near me. I’d definitely go.

Urgh that's horrendous and I can't unsee the penis in the patch on the left.

How odd. If you can’t go and see it, can you ring the estate agent and ask what it is?! We need to know what this is 😜

Daryl Hannah and Charlie Sheen did a similar decorating technique in their ‘loft’ in the Wall Street film. (awful)

I am actually contemplating going to see it but, as said, it’s a long way away so just canvassing more opinions. I’m attaching 2 more pictures - one of a nice kitchen, and one of a different but similarly decorated area! What on earth is it?!

Oh. Now that you’ve said that, I can see it too …

😂 @Zebracat and dead cartoon raccoon!

Ok we have an answer. I should have read the description before subjecting you all to what is, apparently:

”a wall finished with stunning liquid metal veneer plaster”

Wow.

Stunning kitchen ❤️

Yes, looks like some v expensive but slightly dodgy taste gold plaster type job. Te cushions on the sofa echo it.

But....... but........ WHY???

Woooo, that's .... bold! Is it meant to look like the inside of a stone, do you think? My dad used to have a piece of polished quartz stone when I was a kid, so this kind of reminds me of that.

@Ferryl I was going to say mould but having found the Zoopla listing I can see it's a design feature! Sort of works as a whole, but just seeing a small section give mouldy vibes. I bet they spent a lot of money on it
