Who puts a fucking square Table into a circular seating arrangement!? Fecking lunatics who are apparently also scared of color.

This looks like an AI edit rather than an actual renovation.
The shelf thing on the left has exactly the same items on it. Why would they keep the hole with the CRT TV in it? Also I'd hope that nobody would actually put a square table in a round space.
Also notice that the handrail in the original photo has turned into a divider in the makeover. It’s a subtle perspective change but one that wouldn’t make sense in reality. AI wouldn’t be able to discern that properly.
Whoever decided to put a rectangular table in a curved space is completely unqualified to make design decisions.
That table is going to demand so many legs in sacrifice...
Bullshit. Someone just used an ai filter on a picture for internet points.
The AI even kept the CRT TV in the "after" pic lmao
Nothing says Modern Decor like a CRT TV
Love they left the structural fireplace CRT TV. god I’m tired of AI rage slop
AI or not, I hate the modern trend of home colors being grey, black, and white. I don't care about the "professional look" or "modern design", its my home not a workplace. First thing i did was paint my house when I got it and even though I don't love every color I chose it gave it a major face lift from the dull grey walls. The yellow I chose for one wall is bathed in sunlight and really makes my wooden toned furniture and green leaved house plants pop out against it.
The colors of neutrality so you don’t actually live there and can leave it that way to sell it. The “real estate ad” color palette.
Change out the carpet, fine, but why that God awful laminate?Update the cushions, great. Paint the beams and fireplace, short term thinking to destroy something that will now forever need work and updating. I hope you drywalled over the wall panels and didn't just slap paint on them. It is a current "look". Will be out of date/trend in a couple years - far shorter than the other look that took 30 years to be dated and now would be retro.
That grey laminate flooring pisses me off like nothing else in cheap home remodeling. It's embossed with wood grain but what fucking real wood is grey like that? It's the 2020s equivalent of 1970s faux wood paneling.
They painted the stone? 🤢
(You know, assuming that this isn't ai)
People actually paint bricks, and it disturbs me. Bricks are so porous, and so unpainting them is an ordeal to say the least. I never understood painting brick. Brick looks nice. They made them look nice right from the brickyard.
They painted the beams.. they. Painted. The beams.
It looks like a prison.
My uncle used to design and build houses. Normally he didn't work for anyone - he'd take out a loan, buy a piece of land, design a house custom fit to the contours of the land, subcontract some parts, but he did the carpentry with some hired help, and when it was all done, he'd sell it (he was a realtor too) and as far as I know always made a profit, though some did better than others...
One year I went to work for him. But he was doing it differently that time, some wealthy developer had hired him to build his own house. I remember him talking about what a big mistake that was turning out to be, the guy kept changing his mind about what he wanted when we were halfway done with something - for example when he saw the rough openings for the windows, he decided they weren't big enough and he wanted bigger. Problem was, my uncle had already ordered the windows (custom sized of course) and they were already built, just not delivered yet... But the guy had money to burn, so he paid for both sets... Anywho, my uncle had designed the roof to be held up by some hefty beams, and had intended them to be unpainted, so had sourced the high quality (expensive) ones. After we set the beams- most by crane, but one short one was in such an odd position we had to do it by hand- heaviest thing I've ever lifted and I only had one end... a motorcycle engine was light in comparison... anywho, he brought his wife to look at the progress, she took one look at the beams and said "... and we'll paint those lavender..." I could just about hear the steam coming from my uncle's ears.
Beams? Mf, they painted the rocks!
I'm never hiring a home designer.
Hey a fuckpit's a fuckpit. By the looks of it, they have the money for someone to clean off that upholstery. More bothered by that "landlord style" painting of the stone wall. Would have been a great accent.
went from cozy to clinical
Natural materials people! And then leave them to age naturally and gracefully!
Everyone bitches about how fake everything has become. And then they go and do things like the right hand picture. Idiots. Idiots, the lot of them.
I'm fine with the 2010s era minimalist decor.
But painting over stone and high quality wood panels is crazy. If you want the minimalist look, then this wasn't the house you start with. Fucking Beetlejuice ass joists.
That wall has been absolutely ruined.
God, it just gets worse the more you look at it...
That flooring is awful. They ruined the wood... Ugh.
Laminate flooring from the discount aisle of the home improvement store. White base paint from the discount aisle of the home improvement store. Imitation leather from the.... You get the point
Anyone read that in Hank Hill’s voice? It even feels in character with how into that whole neighborhood parade of homes competition thing he was.
I hope they replace the 80s Colour TV with a monochrome medical display just to bring it all home.
Eh, the only crimes here are:
-
Painting the rocks is a travesty and will be nearly impossible to ever undo.
-
It desperately needs some color.
They left the CRT TV in the wall? Even though they're obviously not retro fans?
You think this is more than "hey grok, beautify this room"?
Hey at least they didn't put a TV directly over the fireplace!
/s yes I see it's a tube TV cutout
Only issue with the left photo is the carpet. Replace it with plank/tile and it’s all good.
What the absolute fuck is with people turning good looking shit into the blandest, most sanitized thing imaginable? Wtf y'all need your entire home to be a clean room for?
