That's what pisses me off about modern interior design. It's all about painting every sodding wall a neutral colour. It's boring design for boring people.

I pray you furnish it with some personality as the place doesn't have any.

What do you expect exactly? Painting in anything other than magnolia is going to put someone off sothey keep it plain. If you want stunning decoration you do it to your own taste. The developer will never go out on a limb to impress anyone as all they'll end up doing is putting someone off.

Exactly. You dont buy a house based on decor.

Well done Nathaniel, you have just agreed with the point you have quoted whilst also totally contradicting it.

People DO buy for decor, I am not saying everyone does (I certainly don't), but people do buy for decor as they lack any imagination themselves and as the old saying goes 'first impressions count!' It is that reason why developers who lack imagination themselves slap a bulk buy colour on every wall, in a property devoid of features and character, typically linked in with laminate flooring and decking. You know the sort, the ones you see on EVERY house program that hits the screens with the exception of Grand Designs.

You can inject some colour and life into a property without offending and in an undressed property, as above, it helps to draw the eye away from the lack of bonafide focal points.

Please note, I am not slating the guys imagination, or his pad, I am just giving my outlook.
