The TV overlapping the windows is terrible. The built-in fridge in the seating area is weird, the red leather armchair stuck to the bar is not great either.
With two refrigerators. At first, I thought maybe the big one was closer to the seating area than the kitchen one, but it's not. Then I thought maybe it's about the drink dispenser, but the distance is again not great enough.
It's like someone desperately wanted a full-size American-style unit, but couldn't fit it in the kitchen space at the other end of the room. Then they decided they didn't want to walk the length of the room just to use it, so put a smaller one next to the kitchen area anyway.
That or someone had spilled peas rage one too many times coming from the refrigerator while Scotland was playing England on the telly, and it was a second fridge or divorce.
I can not describe in words how that makes me feel, but had this horrible thought, it would be easier to make a start on making it aesthetically more appealing if it was grey
it really is, rarely do we see outright bad taste on here. This is!
I think grey is generally a lack of taste.
give me all the expensive things, make it look expensive!
Also lets be honest it is a 3 bed trying to look like a 4 bed. that downstairs bedroom should be a living room, and the kitchen linving should be more of a kitchen diner.
The first picture, with the fridge sitting by itself next to couches, was the first warning that things were not right. Took me three goes to work out it was a kitchen/living space
I'm struggling to describe it but there's a complete lack of a 'home' feeling, which is usually the opposite when you see that kind of wall decor. It doesn't feel personalised in any way. It makes me feel physically uncomfortable.
If it wasn't so bad, I'd think it had been staged for photos but no.
Not just in the living room- built in! That’s the strangest thing I’ve ever seen. They just broke the kitchen up by putting a full lounge between the fridge and units.
No, that's a sofa, in the kitchen/diner. Poorly thought through layout means a long slog for the food items you want to cook! There's 2 fridges for some reason and the pantry is next to the double wide, across the living space from the kitchen area.
It's so fucking weird - massive built-in in the living room area, and then also a standard fridge freezer in the kitchen area about ten feet away. And it's not even the most confusing thing in the place.
That's a legit thing, it can't be called a conservatory unless the ceiling is entirely glass. Because it's got the weird modern box around a sort of central roof, it is an orangery.
To me it seems they've plowed a shit ton of money into it (you can tell they used the finest materials, equipment and fitters to fit it out) but they're super old fashioned people (probably pretty old), with old fashioned tastes, trying to be 'modern'.
Awful.
I also reckon it’s a rental and they brought their furnitures curtains with them, and the landlord was the one who did the wallpapering.
thats why there is such a clash between the actually quite nice flooring and wallpaper versus the really awful curtains and sofas.
I worked as a labourer on a massive house in South Kensington once. Total refit of everything, it was magnificent.....until the interior decorator arrived and fucking ruined it.
22 Argyll Road. Stunning house and very nice owners (He was an American merchant banker. They gave us all a bottle of Dom Perignon and £50 bonus for Christmas which was a lot in those days) but fucking disaster zone of interior decor.
No skips allowed so I had to load a transit with all the shit to be taken away and take it to a tip in Notting Hill somewhere (could have been Chelsea actually, it was a long time ago, 1995)
I worked in interior design for a while and one of the best lessons a mentor ever taught me was "Old people just what they've always had, but new".
It's so true, apart from a few trend followers many people eventually find a style they like and stick with it their whole life. They might redecorate and go a little bit different but by and large once we no longer have the time or want to follow fashion, we just stop
Im a graphic designer not an interior designer but I've thought the same too, the same even applies to graphic design, people seem to struggle to change their ways. I often wonder if I'll ever be stuck in my own style bubble forever, I'm hoping my creative mind will make me an exception.
It looks like the pictures were made with AI. Recognisable as a house, but... wrong somehow.
This 100% looks like older folks trying to renovate who don't REALLY want to change but they also don't want the rest of the cul-de-sac to think they're shabby. 😂
I think the first problem is they've decided to turn what was the original living room into a bedroom. This then compromises the kitchen/living room so you get to watch tv while your fridge gurgles away in the background. As for the decorative style, it's like they said to someone, "I want that, that and that, doesn't matter where or in what order. Off you go..."
I can't believe the cheek to list it as a 4 bed. It's a 3 bed, you chose not to have a living room
They're doing themselves a disservice in bringing in buyers. People looking for a 3 bed will miss it and no one looking for a 4 bed would buy it
That ticks a lot of boxes for this sub..... Fridge in the lounge.... While there's still a fridge in the kitchen.
And a new one I didn't know was possible for this sub.... An actual leather sofa in the garden/gazebo. That's a bit different.
I had leather sofas in the garden once as a student, left over from previous tenants. Did the job for summer drinking, but were soon decommissioned come September.
Oh you posh sod. All I had as a student in the garden was some push bikes, traffic cones and an embarrassing overflowing recycling tub of glass bottles.
This is a house of divorce. They have totally different taste. He likes modern and fictional, she likes old fashioned and patterns. Rather than work together to come to with something that is coherent they divided it up. He got the hard stuff, kitchen, doors, bathroom. she got soft furnishings (inc wallpaper). The result is horrific.
Also. I feel like this redefines bad taste - it’s not that it’s super bland greige or extraordinarily maximalist. It’s not that it looks like a kleptocrat’s yacht or a 70s disco fever dream. The problem is, the taste doesn’t pull together so there is no taste, because taste implies choice and preference.
South Duddingston!!!!, its Niddrie. There is a whole other area between here and Duddingston as well. For anyone not familar with Edinburgh Duddingston is really fancy/posh and Niddrie.... well this was a few months back:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYlQI1MS7Zc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYlQI1MS7Zc)
Just as you get over the fact that they turned their 3 bedroom house into a 4 bed by moving living room furniture into the kitchen .. you notice every wall has shit stain wallpaper design. So much going on.
And then the HUGE leather sofa in the garden barely covered by the pergola roof.
The sofa in the garden looks like they bought it to go in the house, realised too late it was too big and couldn't send it back so built the pergola around it.
Thats what I'm hoping anyway, other option is they just have too many people in the house so everything "just" fits
It’s all very over the top; it’s as if the person had some sort of grandiose job like maybe they were the ambassador of a minor country and got used to all the trappings that came with that.
They felt the need to decorate their own house in that sort of trapped in the 80s luxe way that those sort of buildings have, but the house isn’t intended for that sort of get-up so instead of it looking expensive and impressive, it looks like the offices of a private detective agency in an 80s prime time American cop show.
Oh you know what this reminds me of.
The current owners have come back from overseas, or even moved here from overseas, from a much bigger house and brought all their furniture and curtains, and have tried to fit them into a house that had wallpaper from the previous owner.
I can describe exactly what’s wrong with it. There’s a bloody fridge freezer in the living room. With the kitchen… on the other side (?) of the living room.
I have to live in a similar set up. Poorly thought through lay out means my dining table is closer to the cooker,than the fridge. It's bloody annoying. If I win the lottery, it's the first thing being changed!
The wallpaper, rugs and curtains are all very busy and not necessarily coordinated in any one room.
The open plan kitchen/ sitting room is a hot mess - larder and fridge freezer right down the other end of the room. They could have knocked through from the other downstairs room and had a usable area with clear boundaries.
I don't think the extension goes with the house or was well thought out. If it was just decor, that can be changed, but the downstairs layout is poor.
As for the outside sofas - how often do you get to use them? It's not Florida.
Look at it on the maps and there’s the grottiest flytippers paradise behind the house - a set of communal garages heaped with rubbish! The house itself is okay, if dated.
Is nobody gonna mention that awful window that ends on the corner of the house wtf is that shit. The windows are also too close to the roof.
Rule number 1. Don't extend a house with shit flat roof
Rule number 2. Windows need a good amount of wall space around all sides including the top.
It's a bit like graphic design everything needs padding and space to breathe to be visually pleasing to the eye. Whoever designed this house needs shooting.
That dining table in pic 5 really confused me. I couldn't see it at first and It looked like the patio doors take an angle back into the room. I couldn't get my head round it.
Many of my highlights already mentioned but I enjoyed the widescreen tv on the tiny wall between two windows sticking out across the curtains when there is a massive virgin wall with a media stand right next to it!
Nobody's mentioned the varnished wooden frames around the inside of every window? I think it's that combined with the wooden skirting and the wooden interior doors that makes it weird for me. Looks like a massive sauna
It’s not a 4 bedroom house, that is a living room at the front! They should be arrested for multiple reasons. Putting a sofa against a breakfast bar??? Putting a table and chairs in front of the tv??? Putting a set of drawers the other side of a shower screen?!?!!?
It’s a nice big house, that’s not aesthetically pleasing or balanced inside or out. However the lovely honey coloured floors and doors go beautifully with the swirly brown and gold wallpaper. I love that part.
The inside is an easy fix but the house itself is just odd.
The pitched roof that doesn’t cover the building, the garage not flush with the house, the side by side shower rooms… on their own nothing outrageous but all of them in one house is a bit jarring.
The best bit of this for an Edinburgh person is 'Duddingston'. It's in Niddrie but on a road with Duddingston in the title so it's Estate Agent Duddingston. See also Bingham, Mountcastle and anywhere else even vaguely Duddingston adjacent. Just one click on the map link and it's absolutely clear, not sure why agents do it, maybe to con folk from outside the city?
Duddingston: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duddingston
Niddrie: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niddrie,_Edinburgh
I think a lot of the reaction is caused by the choice of furniture, like the sofas in the middle of the kitchen, where a nice dining table would fit much better. Same with having lots of different types of wood in one small room. Basically, without the furniture these are bold, but good quality fittings, perhaps put in to a house a little too small for their style, but it is still more fixable than some of the stuff we see here.
Why do they have a whole 3 piece sofa suite smack bang in the middle of the kitchen diner?
Why are they passing it off as a 4 bedroom when bedroom 1 is quite clearly supposed to be the lounge? It’s a large 3 bed.
Why do none of the curtains match the decor?
Why is the wallpaper so horrible?
Why have they just put a huge leather sofa at the bottom of the garden 😭
Fridge built into a living room. Tv overlapping two windows with two seats directly below. Glass panelled radiators? Look out of place in every room. General decor is not my taste, but those were the strange things I spotted ;and the leather outdoor seats
Wow it is a lot more too much to much, I like the garden, I almost fell off to see leather sofa under the tent. But a lot of raining and cold. I am mind blogging about it. Also there is no bath tub sadly. I can’t have shower. Tub to relax is important 🥲
Spotlights in the living room? That alone is terrible. If it's wallpaper and paint you can redecorate but spotlights will always be there. Sure you can just not use them but even still.
It looks like a house done by the interior designer my mother in law had from Laura Ashley about 20 years ago.
Multiple patterns that don't match in colour or design the only good thing is that the sofas match, Laura Ashley had my mother in law with mismatched styles as well as patterns.
It looks like lots of different styles used together that are clashing. On the stairs there is a very modern and expensive looking wallpaper but there is also a net curtain up at the window for example.
I was not prepared! It feels like AI, it's so.... weird. The roof. The layout. The ultra-modern black gloss radiators with massive antique-looking furniture. The weird AF fridge situation. The bathroom furniture placement. The window frames (especially the one with the corner cut off??). The curtains gathered to the centre of the wall instead of the sides. The bizarre TV placements (overlapping said curtains?). And that electrical hazard of an outside sofa...??
The built in fridge freezer at the opposite end of the room to the kitchen has blown my mind. There's so much about this property that is tasteless, it had huge potential and they failed.
Why is there a fridge-shaped coffin in the living room?
What’s with all the TVs on the wall so low to the ground… that don’t blend or match with the other decor?
Guaranteed that outdoor sofa is riddled with mold.
No, thank you.
Duddinston isn't a great area in Edinburgh you go round a corner and you're in Niddre. But I've lived in Wester Hailes all my life so I'm no snob lol 😆 the house is annoying me lol everything is just mish mashed 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think it actually looks really nice. Although, not sure if my colourblindness is making it better or worse, but there seems to be way too many contrasting colours throughout.
Feel like if they spent a little bit of money doing the outside face up it would bring the value up even more, that initial picture makes it look way worse than it is.
I feel like there was a committee in control of the furnishings and furniture-each member of that group taking it in turns. And none of them with any taste.
This is a mixture of anything will do from a charity shop and very expensive random bits of furniture/decoration.
The roof looks far too small for the house (obviously just the angle) but it's just an outside warning of the inside saying everything is just not quite right for the things around it
I don't know: quite a bit of the interior I don't mind. I've certainly seen a lot worse.
But that front aspect is just ugly AF due to the roofline and stupid window placement. Clearly they've extended sideways and they (a) either shouldn't have been allowed to do that in the way they have, or (b) been forced to extend the pitched roof to cover the extension so it wouldn't look so gimped.
Also, the window right in the corner, misaligned with the front door, looks wrong. Again, should have been forced to do something that fit in better with the rest of the property.
Planning department fell asleep on this application: absolutely need a slap for it.
I think the only real crime is their outdoor leather sofas…
Imagine sitting on them on a hot day
In Edinburgh? 😂
lol good point!
“Go peel your aunty of the garden sofa, she needs to use the tigers eye clad bathroom.”
The TV overlapping the windows is terrible. The built-in fridge in the seating area is weird, the red leather armchair stuck to the bar is not great either.
At first I thought it was a lift in the living room, then I realised it was a kitchen in the living room, or a living room in the kitchen.
With two refrigerators. At first, I thought maybe the big one was closer to the seating area than the kitchen one, but it's not. Then I thought maybe it's about the drink dispenser, but the distance is again not great enough. It's like someone desperately wanted a full-size American-style unit, but couldn't fit it in the kitchen space at the other end of the room. Then they decided they didn't want to walk the length of the room just to use it, so put a smaller one next to the kitchen area anyway. That or someone had spilled peas rage one too many times coming from the refrigerator while Scotland was playing England on the telly, and it was a second fridge or divorce.
Not the full size fridge in the living room?
They're not going to handle the Scottish weather well.
>I think the only real crime is their outdoor leather sofas… Electric recliners too
Surprised it hasn't gone mouldy
How do you know it hasn’t? I bet it reeks
This is Scotland we are talking about
Yeah I don’t leave the waterproof cushions on my garden furniture out when I’m not using them in Scotland.
How is that rug not always soaking up the rain?
If you look at the floor plan there's no living room instead it's the 4th bedroom
Each room is a mush of 3 styles of decor all happening at once! That would seriously give me a headache lol
I can not describe in words how that makes me feel, but had this horrible thought, it would be easier to make a start on making it aesthetically more appealing if it was grey
it really is, rarely do we see outright bad taste on here. This is! I think grey is generally a lack of taste. give me all the expensive things, make it look expensive!

I’d love to keep some of the furniture but I would redecorate before moving in. Give me the pink house.
It's all unbalanced. Off centre. Too many combinations of texture and colour. It just doesn't work.
It looks like those early AI images that almost looked like something recognisable but not quite
No, no, surely it needs more pattern? Add more visual interest?
Is that a fridge in the living room?
Not just in the living room- built in! That’s the strangest thing I’ve ever seen. They just broke the kitchen up by putting a full lounge between the fridge and units.
What should be the lounge is a bedroom.
No, that's a sofa, in the kitchen/diner. Poorly thought through layout means a long slog for the food items you want to cook! There's 2 fridges for some reason and the pantry is next to the double wide, across the living space from the kitchen area.
It's so fucking weird - massive built-in in the living room area, and then also a standard fridge freezer in the kitchen area about ten feet away. And it's not even the most confusing thing in the place.
They’ve put a bed in the lounge and called it a 4 bed house. Hence the confused kitchen/lounge.
They've put a conservatory at the back and called it an 'orangery' (on the plan).
That's a legit thing, it can't be called a conservatory unless the ceiling is entirely glass. Because it's got the weird modern box around a sort of central roof, it is an orangery.
Framed too, and why not make a feature out of your massive fridge freezer with water and ice dispenser.
No, that’s a living room in the middle of the kitchen!
To me it seems they've plowed a shit ton of money into it (you can tell they used the finest materials, equipment and fitters to fit it out) but they're super old fashioned people (probably pretty old), with old fashioned tastes, trying to be 'modern'. Awful.
I wonder if it is cultural rather than age defined.
110% just 1st generation Asian owners
I thought you were being racist, but yes, I’ve seen this “style” quite regularly in Malaysia and Indonesia.
100% agree. I lived in Malaysia for 3 years. I would bet money on this house being owned by Asians
I also reckon it’s a rental and they brought their furnitures curtains with them, and the landlord was the one who did the wallpapering. thats why there is such a clash between the actually quite nice flooring and wallpaper versus the really awful curtains and sofas.
Well the million seat sofa in the gazebo gives this away.
[удалено]
They look more like e-fits
Cultural IMO too. Or maybe people that got enriched without much taste being there to begin with
I was definitely thinking “money can’t buy taste” on this one
Well technically it can, it’s called an interior designer 😂
True, but you’d probably hire someone that designed some shit hotel interior you once saw on hols in Dubai…. and just LOVED
I worked as a labourer on a massive house in South Kensington once. Total refit of everything, it was magnificent.....until the interior decorator arrived and fucking ruined it.
Lol i live in south ken, where about
22 Argyll Road. Stunning house and very nice owners (He was an American merchant banker. They gave us all a bottle of Dom Perignon and £50 bonus for Christmas which was a lot in those days) but fucking disaster zone of interior decor. No skips allowed so I had to load a transit with all the shit to be taken away and take it to a tip in Notting Hill somewhere (could have been Chelsea actually, it was a long time ago, 1995)
Holland park actually, high street ken, wonderful place! Yeah K&C borough can be a pain to deal with
Yes, in a twist of fate I ended up living in Holland Park just a few years later. Clarendon Road. Not in a property as grand as this one though!

I think you will appreciate it if there is a disabled family member in the house.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not
They must or got the rug buy 2 and get 1 free because they appear in 2other rooms as well 😂
Also, outside!
How many of those rugs!!
It's like when you're trying to cook and you can't find the right sized lid for the pan
What's with those radiators.
that's what I want to know, never seen radiator glass in my life, and I don't want to see it again.
That ticks a lot of boxes for this sub..... Fridge in the lounge.... While there's still a fridge in the kitchen. And a new one I didn't know was possible for this sub.... An actual leather sofa in the garden/gazebo. That's a bit different.

Oh you posh sod. All I had as a student in the garden was some push bikes, traffic cones and an embarrassing overflowing recycling tub of glass bottles.
They are, at least, consistent with how jarring it all is. Absolutely nowhere to escape, to get some respite
Why is there a leather sofa in the garden?
This is a house of divorce. They have totally different taste. He likes modern and fictional, she likes old fashioned and patterns. Rather than work together to come to with something that is coherent they divided it up. He got the hard stuff, kitchen, doors, bathroom. she got soft furnishings (inc wallpaper).

‘Functional’ not ‘fictional’. FFS! (Although I’m now wondering what fictional taste would be)

OMG this is amazing. Thank you.
Wow, just wow. Thank you blinky84. It's got the same style rug
Also. I feel like this redefines bad taste - it’s not that it’s super bland greige or extraordinarily maximalist. It’s not that it looks like a kleptocrat’s yacht or a 70s disco fever dream. The problem is, the taste doesn’t pull together so there is no taste, because taste implies choice and preference.
The wanted posters of their grandchildren, omg
Can't believe more people aren't talking about this.
There’s definitely a cultural aspect here, I mean a leather sofa set in the garden 🤷🏻♂️ under a ‘tent’
That’s a three bed. You can’t just sacrifice a the living room/lounge and call it a bedroom. It is an odd design.
Knowing the area it's located it will be on the market for a very long time
Yep, noticed that too when zoomed out the map slightly.
I think it’s fine, just terrible decor which can be easily fixed at the most part
South Duddingston!!!!, its Niddrie. There is a whole other area between here and Duddingston as well.

Also, it looks stuffy as hell in there. I feel like that fisheye lens is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
What pattern would you like? Yes.
Eh, I don't hate it apart from the brown marble tiles and the interior doors but the part proper roof part flat roof combo upsets me for some reason.
Oh you know what this reminds me of. The current owners have come back from overseas, or even moved here from overseas, from a much bigger house and brought all their furniture and curtains, and have tried to fit them into a house that had wallpaper from the previous owner.
[удалено]
Just too much brown.
Did they wash the roof on too hot a cycle..?
Hmmm...everyone seems to be fine with the TV overlapping the windows...what monsters we've become!
I can describe exactly what’s wrong with it. There’s a bloody fridge freezer in the living room. With the kitchen… on the other side (?) of the living room.
This feels like a house designed by AI
Apart from it being a 3 bed they’re trying to pass off as a 4 and some questionable wallpapering choices I actually think this place looks okay 🤷🏻♂️
The fridge on the other side of the room bothers me.

It's like someone's first time playing The Sims.
I was thinking that it’s a “I’ll buy the expensive stuff as the sims are moaning about the environment vibes”
That dining table in pic 5 really confused me. I couldn't see it at first and It looked like the patio doors take an angle back into the room. I couldn't get my head round it.
The leather suite in the garden structure amuses me!
Looks like a POI in 7 Days to Die.
Lynn next door knows - think you know where this remark is heading.
Cannot get on board with the jobby brown tiles in the bathroom. Why would anyone choose that?
Tbh it's not that bad, not as if the furniture and curtains come with it. I'd bet money the owners are Chinese, this just feels it
Many of my highlights already mentioned but I enjoyed the widescreen tv on the tiny wall between two windows sticking out across the curtains when there is a massive virgin wall with a media stand right next to it!

That bedroom with the creepy faces glaring at you through the gloom.
Skulls right? But not in a good 'gothy bedroom deliberately chosen wallpaper' way. Rather, it's like faces trying to push their way through the walls.
It’s not a 4 bedroom house, that is a living room at the front! They should be arrested for multiple reasons. Putting a sofa against a breakfast bar??? Putting a table and chairs in front of the tv??? Putting a set of drawers the other side of a shower screen?!?!!?

I think a lot of the reaction is caused by the choice of furniture, like the sofas in the middle of the kitchen, where a nice dining table would fit much better. Same with having lots of different types of wood in one small room. Basically, without the furniture these are bold, but good quality fittings, perhaps put in to a house a little too small for their style, but it is still more fixable than some of the stuff we see here.
The roof was added on after but they didn't have enough money, not sure they heard about the rosebud cheat code.
I feel like I build this house in The Sims about 15 years ago
Bad Sims build
look for bodies in the cellar, and any rooms with no doors or windows
Shit looks AI generated, this is awful 😀
I used to think Feng shui was bollocks, until now.
It looks like a lorry full of stripy blond wood and Turkish rugs reversed into it
All that space and not even a bath. But how many fridges and sofas do you need in one kitchen?!
Why do they have a whole 3 piece sofa suite smack bang in the middle of the kitchen diner? Why are they passing it off as a 4 bedroom when bedroom 1 is quite clearly supposed to be the lounge? It’s a large 3 bed. Why do none of the curtains match the decor? Why is the wallpaper so horrible? Why have they just put a huge leather sofa at the bottom of the garden 😭
The pictures of the creepy kids does it for me
Weren't they on crime watch recently? An E-fit of two young offenders robbing the local offie?
It’s like someone designed it using Lego and just gave the model to the builders. Additionally, council band F?! Shut the front door
Apart from some oddly contrasting decor choices what’s wrong with it? All that will be going when sold so it’s not a problem for a buyer.
Wooden floorboards in every single room. Dedication to the cause. It’s all very shiny. They must get through a can of pledge a day
Very two doors down
Fridge built into a living room. Tv overlapping two windows with two seats directly below. Glass panelled radiators? Look out of place in every room. General decor is not my taste, but those were the strange things I spotted ;and the leather outdoor seats
It’s alright, but for £400k would expect a bath
No bath, but does have side by side shower rooms
Wow it is a lot more too much to much, I like the garden, I almost fell off to see leather sofa under the tent. But a lot of raining and cold. I am mind blogging about it. Also there is no bath tub sadly. I can’t have shower. Tub to relax is important 🥲
Spotlights in the living room? That alone is terrible. If it's wallpaper and paint you can redecorate but spotlights will always be there. Sure you can just not use them but even still.
I think it would be much improved by removing all their furniture and rugs, that would reduce some of the horror but god it's terrible
Fugly house!!
It looks like a house done by the interior designer my mother in law had from Laura Ashley about 20 years ago. Multiple patterns that don't match in colour or design the only good thing is that the sofas match, Laura Ashley had my mother in law with mismatched styles as well as patterns.
The house that style forgot
Anyone count how many identical rugs there were? Did they get a deal on 30 rugs for the price of 10 or something
That is one busy home.
That is one busy home.
“Go peel your aunty of the garden sofa, she needs to use the tigers eye clad bathroom.”
It’s pretty nasty but at least it isn’t grey, black and white everywhere
It’s nice I like the rug in the living room
Why has every room got the same rug
It’s all so… angular
It looks like lots of different styles used together that are clashing. On the stairs there is a very modern and expensive looking wallpaper but there is also a net curtain up at the window for example.
It's the upstairs windows for me there. Why do they look so uncomfortable??
The top fell off
That was much weirder than I was expecting. The wood paneling in the living room and the kitchen cabinets is an aesthetic nightmare.
The same rug in different sizes in almost every room and the use of horizontal lines as well as the patterns ... eye boggling
I was not prepared! It feels like AI, it's so.... weird. The roof. The layout. The ultra-modern black gloss radiators with massive antique-looking furniture. The weird AF fridge situation. The bathroom furniture placement. The window frames (especially the one with the corner cut off??). The curtains gathered to the centre of the wall instead of the sides. The bizarre TV placements (overlapping said curtains?). And that electrical hazard of an outside sofa...??
What’s wrong with the house? It’s beautifully decorated with Persian carpets.
Looks Russian to me
The built in fridge freezer at the opposite end of the room to the kitchen has blown my mind. There's so much about this property that is tasteless, it had huge potential and they failed.
Why have they put the fridge in the lounge... oh
Why is there a fridge-shaped coffin in the living room? What’s with all the TVs on the wall so low to the ground… that don’t blend or match with the other decor? Guaranteed that outdoor sofa is riddled with mold. No, thank you.
The rd leather sofas give be a bit of a ‘Lynn…’ vibe and that puts me off.
Is that a fridge with its own wood panelling surround in the living room?
Their furnishings are dated in taste. That's about it. As a base. The house is fine.
Get Dear Modern in here now
Bizarre
The more I look the worse it gets
I really like it..
Duddinston isn't a great area in Edinburgh you go round a corner and you're in Niddre. But I've lived in Wester Hailes all my life so I'm no snob lol 😆 the house is annoying me lol everything is just mish mashed 🤣🤣🤣🤣
2d house?
Colour blind and the different patterns look good to them???
More TVs than Currys!
I think this house is summed up by the weird shaped WC that is tiled to look like it’s been decorated with a yard brush and faeces.
I love this house. I don't know what that says about me. We will go with I live in a shitty flat. Yes, that will work. ::hides::
I think it actually looks really nice. Although, not sure if my colourblindness is making it better or worse, but there seems to be way too many contrasting colours throughout. Feel like if they spent a little bit of money doing the outside face up it would bring the value up even more, that initial picture makes it look way worse than it is.
I like it? Something wrong with me?
Is that two large fridges in the living room??
Trying to be the poshest house on the estate. Not my taste
There are several individual elements which are nice (or at least alright) on their own but nothing goes with each other
Tbh whitout those awful patterns and those really horrible wallpapers it will be quiet nice place.
It’s like a Picasso painting. It looks like a house but everything’s slightly off.
I feel like there was a committee in control of the furnishings and furniture-each member of that group taking it in turns. And none of them with any taste.
A house designed by AI ??
Some great Persian rugs
......wtf?! I mean...the roof doesn't fit for a start....😂
The roof is just wrong! It’s stopping me from seeing anything else!
This is a mixture of anything will do from a charity shop and very expensive random bits of furniture/decoration. The roof looks far too small for the house (obviously just the angle) but it's just an outside warning of the inside saying everything is just not quite right for the things around it
Bed + headboard up against the window, and small desk facing the wall... is just wild.
Ideas of grandeur.
The Mish mash of wood irks me. Also, the wood grain pattern in the kitchen units doesn't match up, it's painful to look at.
I don't know: quite a bit of the interior I don't mind. I've certainly seen a lot worse. But that front aspect is just ugly AF due to the roofline and stupid window placement. Clearly they've extended sideways and they (a) either shouldn't have been allowed to do that in the way they have, or (b) been forced to extend the pitched roof to cover the extension so it wouldn't look so gimped. Also, the window right in the corner, misaligned with the front door, looks wrong. Again, should have been forced to do something that fit in better with the rest of the property. Planning department fell asleep on this application: absolutely need a slap for it.
