Well, they picked a theme and went with it.

[–] waterbogan@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Its not the theme or the going with it, it how badly they went with it. That ceiling decoration in the lounge is so .... wrong. And you can buy repro ornate ceiling mouldings that would actually look OK if applied correctly too

I mean, I'm not saying I like it, but it probably looks much less garish IRL.
The estate agents have clearly taken the photos on an overcast day, then (with their usual cack-handed approach to photography) fucked with the sliders in Photoshop until the pictures look less dingy.

I was with you until I clicked through and started swiping at the pictures.

The aesthetic approach seems to have been circling every area that didn’t have trim and adding trim to it, then doing that again and again and again

This is where hedonism bot lives.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's not hideous, just not the most comfortable-looking either.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Honestly with some dark rugs it something it might not be ugly.

I would have been stoked to live there in my 20s.

My reasons for not wanting to live there now have more to do with it being an apartment than the aesthetic.

They say Art Deco, I reckon it is more Louis Quatorze. Imagine going all highfalutin like that and your "kitchen" is just tagged on the side of your living room like a commoner.

[–] snaprails@feddit.uk 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think it’s the block of flats that’s Art Deco rather than the interior of that particular one, which is as you say more Louis Quatorze. If he’d been from Essex.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 6 months ago

Ah yes, that makee sense as it was built in the 1930s.

I refuse to believe that this isn't a "hidden item" mobile game.

[–] uservoid1@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Had to squint to look at these images. How do you keep this place clean? So many places you need to dust.

I like the golden toilet brush.

[–] snaprails@feddit.uk 3 points 6 months ago

Simple, servants 🙂

[–] Successful_Try543@feddit.de 5 points 6 months ago

The old fashioned way of modern all-in-white style.

[–] Mrkawfee@feddit.uk 5 points 6 months ago

I like that there's no escape

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's definitely a place where gold lamé slippers and a silk smoking jacket would fit right in...

[–] FatLegTed@feddit.uk 3 points 6 months ago

And one of those long cigarette holders.

The Queen of France called, she suggests that you eat cake.

I was surprised to see lions over the couch instead of a reclining nude.

[–] jago@lemmy.cafe 7 points 6 months ago

The lions are nude, if that helps...

[–] Sensitivezombie@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 months ago

If the toilet is not made of gold, no deal!

Who knew you'd find this level of hyper-chintz bordello in Acton?

Am impressed & not for the first time want to become a documentary maker just as an in to get to hang out with people I never knowingly encounter & to tell their story.

Dictator chic on a budget

Location, location, Location. And a reasonable layout.

That is some crazyhouse decor, hopefully it doesn't come furnished.

[–] littlewonder@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It's giving Florida senior living condo.
