what's so bad about that pic? It looks nice for a smallish, comfy house.

>>1401123
>It looks nice for a smallish, comfy house.

except for that lighting fixture seen in the mirror. looks a bit huge.

>>1401123
patio furniture indoors
tile floors everywhere
fake plants
bargain light fixtures from the $5 bin at Lowes
artsy quotes and "aged" furniture

>>1401146

the chairs might feel better than they look. the upper right room has hardwood floor. the plants look real but they don't look like they have enough light to be as healthy as they are. the lights look ok and might not seem so bright in reality. I don't see the artsy quotes or the aged furniture, but even so, it's their house and as I said, it looks small but comfy.

Post a pic of your place so we can see what true taste looks like.

i just wish it didnt look like an etsy/pinterest/walmart makeover thats all. I say the same things when house flippers buy old houses (20s-50s) and replace all the metal fixtures and flooring with whatevers on sale at lowes that week, thus ruining whatever originality that place may have had.

>>1401167
It's not your house, why do you give a shit?

So buy your own original 1920 house and don't update it at all.

>>1401167

well, please post a pic of any room in your place that you think was done tastefully. surely you can find at least one wall that you can show us.

and if you are young and haven't actually decorated anything beyond your bedroom then I understand that, but you have such strong and well defined opinions of how things are done incorrectly, it seems that you might have some experience.

go for it. if it's cool you will get accolades.

I work in a architecture firm, and I've studied residental architecture both in school and while employed. I've grown up in a 50s house, a 90s, house, lived in a 60s apartment and 70s apartment and a 00s apartment. im allowed to dislike it as much as youre allowed to like it.

>>1401169
>>1401168
yes okay its your house but trashing anything unique to the house seems like a waste. painting over stained wood seems like a loss

>>1401184
I would complain equally if they stuck in some oversize couches and a put a tv in front of the window or hung up a "love is family" cursive sign. if you want to like it thats fine, but im also allowed to dislike it

>>1401199
>im allowed to dislike it as much as youre allowed to like it.

so you post a really cool pic of work that someone else did.

gotcha.

>>1401199
>painting over stained wood seems like a loss

If you've ever seen a house that had that dark stained trim that was properly changed to white or a tasteful light color of trim, I doubt you would say that. Some of the old dark as hell trim ruins a place.

this thread will go places. thanks, whether I agree with you or not.

thats exactly what i did

>>1401205
my concern is that getting the wood back is laborious process thats 3x as long as it takes to just take a brush with paint, youll have to sand off all the paint and restain.

>>1401209
>youll have to sand off all the paint and restain.

no one has ever done that, except maybe some historical restoration where they were paid 50 grand to fix a room

>>1401209
>thats exactly what i did

I've always said that the grownup boards need thread specific IDs. You are replying to two different people. I want to see how awesome your place is, and that other poster wanted to see what you prefer.

I love 4chan, but in some ways it sucks.

>>1401212
in general though. lets say i bought a house with painted wood. am i better off buying new wood and staining it the color i want instead of trying to fix the old stuff?

>>1401214
I am not in position yet where I can give my place a complete makeover like those people did so it's unreasonable to compare the two. I have been given furniture from family members and assembled them to the best of the ability.

That room layout almost exactly matches my old house. Stairs, door, railing, kitchen, everything. Weird. Cool story I know.

>>1401215
>buying new wood and staining it the color i want

yes. most trim has at least one groove here or there. you can use piles of toxic chemicals and toothbrushes and "fix" it. or just find a house with natural/stained wood.

It's kinda like saying you want to buy a brick house but you really like siding so why is it such a pain to remove the bricks.

The point if a rug is to protect the carpet from excessive wear, including at the foot of furniture where people are likely to be sitting and scuffing their feet around. That is exactly where it should be.

It's technically "contemporary", but when people who have no design experience or sense attempt it on the ultra cheap it becomes white-trash kitsch.

Seems like everything is white trash nowadays, everything white people do is bad. You never hear things such as asian trash or black trash. Makes you wonder.

>>1401627

the black version is ghetto or hood. Not sure what the asian version is.

and the racist aspect of it is that the term "white trash" implies that whites are inherently decent hard working people, unless they are trash.

Trump is already tall, and on top of that they're probably using a lens with a nonstandard FoV, to make the room look bigger than it actually is. Although the room is clearly huge.
The dropped-recessed ceilings help with the illusion.

Obviously the dudes who work for Trump know how to design a room and how to work a camera.

>>1401199
To me that kind of open space just means "empty" and "pitifully underfurnished.
There's a certain density of furniture that a home needs to feel like someone actually lives there, and this is far and away towards the "empty" side of the scale.

>>1402435
If you have dogs long term carpets can be impossible to keep clean for decades of dog ownership. We ripped it all out one day and I put in travertine, one of the best decisions I made. Even if it was a learning experience. Also we have had minor flooding (texas tropical storms) and lost carpet. Our travertine gives two shits if it floods.

I know I will get shit for this here on DIY but for us the cost all came out about the same per sq foot. Whether we went with tile, laminate, carpet or whatever. Not huge differences since we already had the equipment to do any of it. I may have to shop around for weeks and check craigslist/whatever to get a deal but in the end, I just like the tile more.

Also stone is a tad more fire resistant.

>"big box boring"

i think i have the solution, anon. back in the 70s, there was this lady living across the street where i grew up who sold "Home Interior". lots of candle holders and other stuff you can hang on the walls. but the thing i remember the most was the oil bead lamp sculpture thingy she had. this thing pumped oil on a loop from bottom to top, where the beads of oil dripped down angled wires around a bare maiden. this thing was the cherry on the whipped cream to her entire line of classy merchandise.

yeah, if you ever find yourself lucky enough to score one of these architectural treasures of americana, for heaven's sake anons, keep it just the way it is. or maybe add a tiki bar if you must. the last thing you want to do is replace everything with Sticks 'n Stuff and Bed Bath and Beyond.

You are also embarrassing. You must be a CAD/Revit-monkey for your firm if that's what you can afford right now. If you aren't living in an apartment, then you have the space to build your own furniture, they should've taught you this at school. At least get your shit together for the non-upholstered pieces, man.

>>1402821
>>1402820
My parents had one of those. the thing is that the oil clogged up if you ever let it sit for more than like a few months. I remember once, me and my brother found it after years of being in storage, spent HOURS cleaning off all the oil residue and clogs.
Then we put new oil in it and it clogged again. so now its just for show,

>>1402932
stop furniture shaming!

>>1402947
Well then, step it up if you wanna talk aesthetics and design. Fwiw, I abhor the tacky bullshit OP is describing as well, especially if all of it is post-remodeling rather than a collection of secondhand furniture like most homes are decorated with.

>>1401199
Empty glass boxes like this run counter to the human condition, which is to hoard resources and look for safety (an enclosed house with windows). They ultimately emphasize form over function, unless you are an artist who has fooled yourself into thinking this is actually good design.

i love this thing, its such an efficient use of space but there is no room in the world where it would functionally work. if you have 15ft+ cealings like that the rest of the room is probobly big enough that you can spread out without a problem. maybe the layout could be used as a basis for some Asian tiny apartments but you need to work a kitchen and bathroom into the design.

So that's the name for that design? I remember a lot of those features (false ledges, fake plants everywhere, outdoor furniture everywhere) as a big thing in the 90's.

it never works. it's just people emulating a particular style. a style that's associated with cheap and tacky. rendered everything and plastic/plaster moulding instead of wood trim. but by all means, if you want to make your nice hardwood trim look like it's made of plastic so it's 'modern' then go ahead.

I recreated this for myself in 2007 while I was in high school and loved it.. for a few hours until I realized that my swath of computer equipment made it hot as fuck upstairs. Maybe it would work out for someone else with higher ceilings and less PC equipment.

Not that it's a magic bullet, but there is carpet with waterproof backing now a days that makes it pretty livable with pets. Travertine is a porous material that will soak up pet urine and feces just like a carpet will, especially if you aren't sealing it every 1-2 years as you should.

>>1403469
True, it doesn't work with radiant heating (not sure why you would need it since the carpet won't really be cold but I guess it depends on the climate), but it's far from unhygienic or bad for allergies, that is only if you are a complete slob. Hard surfaces are actually worse for allergies in homes with central air systems because they allow pollen, dust, etc. to move freely vs. being trapped in the carpet fibers until they are vacuumed up. If you don't vacuum at least once a week with a proper vacuum, you are disgusting and your carpet will not last.

>>1403518
See above.

>Source
I own a flooring store. I have rugs/hardwood in my own home, but I hear a lot of bullshit that isn't true on an almost daily basis from customers worried about these things. Carpet is a luxury item these days, as ceramic tile is cheaper to install for most builders so it gets pushed as the end-all-be-all in the name of jewing the buyers into thinking that they're getting a GREAT DEAL when in reality it's usually some trash that comes from Mexico and costs $.59 sq/ft. Travertine, porcelain, marble, etc. are the real high end hard surface floors along with solid hardwood and things like wool or branded nylon carpets.

>>1403531
Actual hardwood trim will have unique grain vs. plastic that doesn't. I'm not going to say what's better than the other because it's just personal taste, but you aren't exactly correct.

HGTV. It's gotten so bad that there are ways to make fake material knockoffs of already cheap materials.

Not gonna lie, this goes so far into opulence that I'd want to stand there too.

>>1404487
Laminate is on the way out as far as trends go, honestly. It's really shitty around moisture and my larger distributors are actually converting their laminate mills in favor of resilient (vinyl).

My biggest company that I push is Shaw, so if you are looking for a synthetic floor that looks like wood I would say take a look at their stuff like Floorte or a porcelain that has the wood appearance which these days is making leaps and bounds and is no longer cheesy looking unless you go with a lower end ceramic. I also recently opened an account with Emser, which is basically a company that buys porcelain, ceramic, stone, etc. from independent manufacturers and sells it under their company and has really high quality stuff at competitive pricing, it just won't be American made like Shaw or Mohawk will in most cases.

For starters check this out and see if you like something like that, they are very good at making vinyl look real now a days.

Dang i remember when the 60s through the 90s carpet was the cool thing to have in your house, and now you're looking at several thousand dollars for just a few small rooms. That said. I still love carpet and will ALWAYS choose it unless hardwood actually looks good and not just an "etsy" meme option

>>1404514
Thank you for time and help, I have some things to consider.

>>1404514
Heh, the Shaw plant that makes that shit is literally 600 yards from my back fence. St. Andrews Rd in Columbia SC.

>>1404523
You can get affordable carpet options, it just depends on what you're looking for. My go to "bang for the buck" option runs $28 sq/yr installed for single rooms and less for larger quantities. That's a 28 oz nylon with 3/8" 8lb pad and 10 year warranty on the product and the installation.

That being said, I have stuff that runs $100+. Cheap carpet sucks, so I won't sell anything that I wouldn't want personally even if I lose the job based on the price. I'd rather come down as low as I can and try to get someone a good deal because otherwise people will think I sell junk.
>>1404529
Np, let me know if you have any questions. I don't carry everything they make just because my showroom isn't that big, but I have a Floorte rack that I could ballpark you some pricing on to compare to your local stores.

>>1404551
I wish I was closer, I'm in TX so shipping and all that kind of sucks on some of the special order stuff that isn't stocked.

>>1404593
I learned that the hard way. I was helping my grandma pick out new carpet (shes had the same nylon high pile since 1981). We went with Empire carpet (popular in chicago but i think also national now) they sold us on garbage carpet that thankfully I was able to back her out of at the last minute. When the carpet men came we felt the stock and it was awful contractor stuff.
However then we went to a better carpet store where it was about $1400 for a 12x11 room installed which my grandma wasn't ready to spend yet. Anyways, 7 months later we still have the same carpet lol.
I will say though that shag carpet she has feels good on the feet.

>>1402975

Those steps between parts of the room are a great idea if you love tripping and falling down.

>>1404603
>$1400 for a 12x11
I could literally get you out the door for $400 installed on a decent carpet. A 48 oz anso nylon with 3/8" poly pad (memory ) in any color you want would be $880 and I don't think there's anyone alive that would snub that shit because it's like you're walking on clouds. 20 year warranties. That carpet in the photo still looks ok, maybe just uglied out and loose, but it's not as bad as I've seen.

$1400 is hardwood pricing or some of the most luxurious shit made period carpet wise.

>>1401099
>>1401146

It's called the late 90s. Most of my house still looks the part because my mom refuses to actually think about furniture and filled our walls up with useless crap just so it wouldn't be barren.

That said tile/vinyl floors are GOAT because they stay cool in the summer and are easy to clean up. I have vinyl floors in every room because they're so convenient. Except for my mom's bedroom, which has about 4" worth of insulation and shag carpeting that she installed in the mid 80s when she first bought the place.

People use patio furniture indoors because it's not as cumbersome as proper indoor furniture, but really they'd be better off with stools and a bistro table. I personally find it to be the most common with older women whose kids have moved out, meaning all the huge kid-tolerant furniture in their homes becomes massive overkill while they're retired.

Also another MAJOR issue with these homes, especially ones built before the mid 80s, is that they do not have enough lighting. Before the 1960s doing wall only lighting without ceiling lights was extremely commonplace, since it was so easy to install especially in older homes. In the 1970s through early 80s the general aesthetic was to remove light and have a lot of dark colors that would absorb whatever light was still installed.

The result are rooms that don't have enough light and are much darker than they should be. Shitty furniture looks a lot better if there's lots of light, it looks like garbage if it's too dark. It's why I put three of pic related in all the rooms in my house, so now all the rooms are about as bright as a commercial showroom.

maybe its me but i still cant get into the whole sterile 9300k white light look in a house. I feel like the yellow bulbs are nice

The guy who owns that obviously doesn't have kids, because otherwise that monitor on the left would either be broken or not placed right next to a railing with a 3 foot drop.

He probably wasn't as fat in that pic as he is now so he looks taller due to better proportions. His taste in decoration does remind me of the guy from Simpsons who won the lottery and spent it all on a solid gold house though.

>>1401199
What kind of floor is this?

It's not your average american 80s table though, is it. What style would you say it is? Would you call it art-decoish?

>>1406864
not sure, the glass is slightly smoked, it also came with an endtable and lamp. it was purchased at achicago WICKS furniture store that no longer exists.

>>1406848
Ceramic or Porcelain in a herringbone pattern. It COULD be real brick, but I don't know why you'd bother with that.

The last pic would be OK if you ditch the fucking elders roll banner or whatever the fuck that is and had about half the amount of bric-a-brac on your table top. I like the entomology cases.

Also the plants over the windows could be cool if you had the right wall decor and table underneath.

>>1409994

All fucking over the place.

Put all the elder scrolls shit in a dedicated man cave and if the sword is a decent quality one then get a fucking wall mount / display stand for it.

Burn the flag
Get new curtains or rods
Tone down the plants

>>1411969

Or double down on the plants. Shit or get off the pot.
