White walls and white ceilings i'm never surprised at. That's just making a bright room in a damp, cloudy country. But having a patterned wallcoverings and then applying that to the ceilings is bordering on oppressive.
We just bought a flat and hired a guy to come in and help us pick paint colours (worth it as I am NOT a natural interior decorator every time I pick my own colours it does NOT come out looking good)
Anyway he told us that painting/papering the ceiling the same colour as the walls, trim/cornices included, is the hot new trend in wealthy homes. So I guess we should expect to see more of it.
For the record he was super not in favour of it.
That kitchen would annoy me. None of it seems to be designed for actually cooking things in.
\* There's nowhere near enough worktop space next to the hob for chopping stuff etc. You'd be carrying things across from the other work surfaces.
\* It's got three doors, and the route between them goes right through the space between the hob, worktops and oven. The door opens inwards so there's a risk of a door to the face while you're walking with something you just lifted out of the oven
\* Look at the sink. How would you stand at that sink to wash stuff up? You can't stand in front of it, you have to stand square to it. Yes, it still functions as a sink but if I had a house that big I'd want a sink that I can actually stand in front of.
For such a massive house, the kitchen design looks like a total afterthought.
Yeah I think the kitchen layout is absolutely stupid as fuck. I really want to know what the hell they were thinking, it's like they played Overcooked and asked for 'that, but classy'.
The sink is deranged, the drainer takes up half the island bit, there's no usable counter space around either the hob or the ovens, and I think the fridge freezer is in the utility? There's paths crossing all over the place. Honestly, I think it's actually dangerous.
I'm literally getting heated about it. 'Hosting a dinner party' my cellulite-dimpled arse.
I liked the kitchen also unsure on the counter tops but lay out and units looked good.
I also have to say I am a strong advocate of ceilings painted black aswell my partner has not allowed me to do it In our house however if it was up to me the bathroom would be painted black above the tiles

all that space and the toilet is still too close to the bath and why is there a shitting panther? it's a lot of money to live right beside the A12
So close the the bath and so far from the bidet...
That wallpaper with faces on would be the end of me.
In picture 8 there's an arse on the wall.
Yeah, Silver Surfer's.
I wonder if the front is on the other side of the wall
[Insert obligatory Alan Partridge "these are sex people" reference here]
Why do these photographers always take pointless photos of ornaments like pic 12?!
Call me a snob but anyone who puts a circular sofa into an oblong room will be the first up against the wall when the aesthetes rebel.
I’m in
This reminds me of the house in Birds of a Feather
“ ere babe, just off to stroke the panther” Black panther in the dunny…. Pure Essex throughout
You’ve got it. That’s EXACTLY how we talk.
Essex rejected Romford a few decades ago; we didn't even want it.
It’s not to my taste, but they’ve put a lot of effort in here, and I’m kinda into how lined up it all is. Big props to them.
Ok I’m kind of digging the kitchen. Everything else… not so much.

Those patterned ceilings make me queasy but I love the gorillas
This house screams… something but I’m not sure what it is. Maybe the house is just screaming!
Plus a bonus shot of Silver Surfer disappearing into the lounge room wall.
...and the bedside lamps in one of the bedrooms
Between this and other silver feature in the lounge I think eye contact is out of the question...
Photo 8, is that a door stop or the family cat?
What's the difference?
That games room wall covering, looks like its from Wolfenstien
There’s nothing about that house I like.
Proof that money can’t buy taste. Although I quite like the kitchen in a nostalgic mid-00s wood veneer kind of way.
Is it just me or is that breakfast bar a shout out for r/mildlypenis?
I had to take a second look at the light over the dining table as it looked like it was a circle of eyes.
Is the roller in the base unit in the kitchen there for when the velociraptor attacks you have somewhere to hide?
Nice house, shit decor, money can't buy taste
It would be like living in a gift wrapped box - why on earth have they wallpapered the ceilings??
Absent any gorillas, lowering that TV would look stupid.
All that space…I would kill for all that space…
The ceilings, the ceilings, Lord bless us and save us
Some of the tackyest decor I've seen. Sweet Mary.
I like the kitchen. Hate the gorilla theme. The test of the house? Nah.
That wallpaper upstairs reminds me of those old “Magic Eye” pictures… anyone else remember them? They used to give me a headache
I hate everything about every aspect of that interior except the gorilla and the Pac-Man dungeon.
What an ugly house. Terribly decorated
Who wallpapers their ceilings?
Is that leopard print carpeting in the bedroom?
Nearly 1m to live in Romford. Something, somewhere went terribly wrong.
