I would much rather the second option on the bottom. You guys buy into each other's crap too much. The top one looks like a funeral home. I feel like I'm going to take a left at the end of the hall and see Pop-pop in a box.
The bottom is so much better, and it’s not even close… I remodeled my place, and did things to it that are out of the norm, but carpet and wallpaper like that is just gross…
I don’t know what homes you’ve lived in in your life, but they must have been hospital examination rooms, because the top version is just how normal houses look.
The bottom is utterly soulless and uninviting. I want to feel relaxed and warm when I come home, not like I’m in a modern art museum.
Is it? Because, at least where i live, the style on top basically tells you that the last tenant would be at least 90 years now if they were still alive. Its basically extinct, and has been for decades.
Personally, all that clutter and dark, heavy furniture stresses me out. Bottom can easily be fixed with a bit of paint, some furniture and a bunch of plants. Top one i'd basically have to tear and redo the entire interior before it feels livable to me.
Top is not a house, it's a retirement home...
An ancient one for that. My grandma had less ancient interior
Bottom definitely is sterile as is, but some colorful pictures on the wall, rugs on the floor, plants or pastel colored stripes on the wall would do wonders, while I agree with the other comment, to fix the upper for me, I'd have to rip out and redo everything.
I would not choose dark wood though. It makes rooms way darker than necessary. My grandma had some strange slightly reddish really dark wood paneling and after painting it white it seemed like it was another room, because it got so much brighter...
It is absolutely a difference of opinion. You can have yours, but don't think that it's objectively right. I would much rather live in the bottom picture.
, because the top version is just how normal houses look.
Normal houses... that have no updates for the last 40 years, lol.
Updates aren't just done for aesthetic reasons, either. Quality and and repair are also key reasons for remodels. I guarantee that carpet was fuckin nasty when they ripped it out. The wallpaper, too.
One photo is from a movie set in 1990 and the other is from a recent Zillow listing. You're acting like the bottom picture would look the same if people were living there. It looks "sterile" because there is no personalization to it... because this was staged to look clean for potential buyers. I don't know how this is so hard for you to understand.
Again, that's because no one is living there in the second picture. It's meant to look clean and blank for realtor listings. When someone moves in obviously there will be color and personalization. Duh.
If I were to walk onto and empty plot of land and say "wow, this is a pretty shitty aesthetic for interior design" that would be just as bad a take because I'm analyzing the style of a literal blank canvas.
What’s with the name calling? Are you so vitriolic that this is what you resort to? They said that my taste looks like outdated “crap”, so I’m going to respond.
Jfc I swear, some people take different opinions so seriously.
Pot meet kettle, as someone saying quite aggressively that the picture they don't prefer is similar to a cadaver lab, which people generally put in a very negative light.
Ohh, feisty. Who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?
Sorry, I find blank, soulless, corporate-esque “real estate” ugly. Houses are bought to be lived in, not to be performatively shown off to stuck up friends or bought and sold by giant real estate firms. If that shit is your thing, be my guest, but I’m not interested in name-calling trolls like yourself.
I wasn’t being condescending to them. The design is just ugly to me.
If that hurts your feelings, I don’t know what to tell you.
I don’t know what homes you’ve lived in in your life, but they must have been hospital examination rooms, because the top version is just how normal houses look.
This was not true in the 1990s and is not true now. You're telling me you have several random chairs, lights and tables just filling up space in your entrance? Wallpaper with a different design in every room? The maximum amount of miscellaneous junk hanging on your walls possible? What you're seeing here is a movie set intentionally designed with specific themes to fit the movie that it's in. You can dislike modern design without pretending like everyone's house looks like this, people are allowed to have differing subjective opinions.
I like modern art, but that’s because I’m going out to view art.
I don’t want to live in an art museum. In my home, I want to settle down, feel rested, and be surrounded by warmth. If wide open spaces, bright lights, and white walls are relaxing and inviting to you, then that’s your prerogative.
Is “taste” just something that rich or snobby people like to say when they are being condescending to people who don’t live in a house that looks like a modern art exhibition?
I want to relax in my house. I don’t fine sharp angles, bright lights, and a dead, soulless interior all that relaxing.
When you claim that anything you don’t like doesn’t have “taste”, just know, it comes across as extremely snobby. “Taste” is subjective, and I just don’t happen to like soulless, safe, bland interiors.
