Discuss things you think make a house look good or bad

Discuss what makes a house look good or bad to you.


Flooring - carpeting sucks. Carpeting can help keep a room warmer/absorb some sound, but it gets filthy super easily, plus stains. Give me flooring made of hardwoods/materials made to look like wood/tiling any day over carpets. Well placed rugs > carpets if you want the benefits of carpets without the negatives.


Interior colors - no strong colors. Red is an absolute no for anything like walls/furiniture/throw pillows/blankets/etc. Use light colors for any interior walls, but not white because white is too boring - white for floor trim/windows/crown molding/etc. with light colors for walls is the best look imo.


Be a minamalist, for the most part - Having a chitload of knick knacks, any clutter laying around, etc. all look like absolute dogchit. I've seen so many peoples' houses that would look 10x nicer if they just had less chit/decorations all over the place. The worst examples are things that simply take too much space for the area they are in.

The worst houses are the ones that don’t look homely.

White interiors with minimalist furniture suck.

I prefer decadent wood and well furnished homes with plenty of your own things which make your place unique.

I agree, cant go wrong with the minimalist look. Greys/whites/blacks with that sleek, straight line simple modern look.

Personally I feel a house is incomplete if it is missing baseboards. When we were looking at homes it was surprising how many were missing them.

I also look at window treatments. Cheap or outdated blinds really detracts from the aesthetics of a home.

This is why young people will live miserable lonely lives.

dont get me wrong, homes with big open rooms and decedant furniture/artwork/old wood/leather chit looks good. Like coastal new england homes. but todays style and vibes are the minimalist look and its got its place

Minimalist "style" is trash lmao


House looking like a suburban model home no thanks


Dropping big money on a house just to have no personalization just because it's what's in "style". You mine as well go live in a condo or apartment

House full of grey's and whites lmao

I appreciate you not fronting and I wish you the opposite of a miserable lonely life.

I'm not sure if we have the same definitions of "minimalist" on this one. I don't mean extreme minimalism to the point of a place being boring. I just mean "minimalism" in the context of not having a ton of excessive crap cluttering a place up. I think there are a lot more people with borderline hoarding issues than people who go overboard with minimalism in terms of how they keep their homes.

That's not at all what I mean by minimalism. All I mean by that is not having a place that looks cluttered and unkempt, which is a much more common problem I've seen in houses than overboard minimalism/lack of personalization.

I know why you are still “single”

love (thicker) carpet. brb better soundproofing, feels good on feet. dont wear your shoes inside and vacuum weekly then your carpet wont go to **** so fast. plants/family pictures and any personalized art or decorations that make the house look lived in is so much better then the basic look like in the pic above.
