Cat People Doing What Cat People Do
With so many home design ideas, from the interior to decor, surfing around the internet, it may be absolutely overwhelming to choose what’s right for your home. After all, nobody wants to get their house repainted or have their new furniture going redundant just because they didn’t think it through in the first place.

So in order to find out what common mistakes are best avoided when designing your dream home, we talked to Nisha Vaidya, a personal finance editor at Money.co.uk, who shared some useful tips on how not to waste your time, energy, and money on something you’ll regret.
“From a practical perspective, consider your budget and skillset before beginning any challenging projects,” Nisha said and added that fixing structural issues will likely take longer and cost a lot more in the long term than initially paying for an expert tradesperson to complete the job in the first place.“Secondly, measure, measure and measure again—having a rug that's off center or a sofa that doesn't quite fit can turn a relaxing space into a bugbear for the eagle-eyed amongst you.”

Um... Yea... I’ll Take The Couch. Or A Cot. Or A Splintery Bed Of Pallets. Actually Just Anything That’s Not This, Thx
“Additionally, a common interior design mistake is overdoing current trends or favorite pieces,” Nisha warned. “Most interior designers will promote a mixture of furniture types and styles and steer away from homogenous products. If you enjoy a certain interior trend (e.g. paneling), be sure to make this a focal point in your home and steer away from using the feature in every space, as this will dilute its effect.”

If you feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of design ideas on the internet, Nisha reminds that choosing what you want for your home ultimately comes down to your personal choice. “If you love an interior design trend, hunt for ways you can incorporate it into your home.”
However, it’s always smart to think about the cost, practicality and the space you have available, she suggests. “For example, if you have a small galley kitchen but are desperate for a kitchen island and entertainment space, you may have to rethink how practical and doable it will be.”

On the other hand, “if you want exposed floorboards and find good quality floorboards underneath existing carpet, then it’s worth doing your research to find out how much it will cost for you to make this feature a long-lasting part of your home,” Nisha said.

Cute Kitchen Carol But We All Know You Killed Him
I could be wrong but I think the dark, metal shape underneath it is in fact a gas-grill-plate. If so, it's pretty strongly suggested they don't 'cook' much. Only manly meat gets prepared in this here kitchen, Anna-Sue!

The thought of taxidermy is gross AND in the kitchen? This is just disgusting.
Every tall person who uses that kitchen bumps their head on the pad how annoying.
That's A Snow Mountain Lynx. From the decorations on the kitchen fixtures, I'm guessing TXass. Ya'll can't grip why some of these animals are on The Endangered Species List or why you build nice fancy little cabins in The Mountains and get all fkd up when Bear 🐻 Cubs or Mama Bears come tear ya'll's nice crap up. YOU MOVED INTO THEIR HABITAT DUMMY. Go ahead. You own the earth, right?
So true! They not only think they own the earth but they are out to destroy it along with every living creature on it.

Also I'm sorry, WHY is this so much lower on the vote scale than the cute if somewhat eccentric bathroom kitty mirror????????????
This is just insanitary. (Insane + unsanitary.) That thing will attract so much dust, mites etc. In a KITCHEN.
So decided to kill a cat so the spirit of the cat stays with the person all the time?

I was in a house the other day and the owner boasted about having installed the bathroom and the door was just like this! They could have arranged the suite differently, or used a sliding/folding/concertina door, but no, they cut a 'toilet shaped' hole in the door (with astonishing accuracy!). No modesty flap though...!

I can say from experience, sometimes you're trying to put an updated kitchen or bathroom in an old house, and you run into issues because the space wasn't originally designed to accommodate today's standard sizes of cabinets, appliances, doors, etc. If you can afford to have things made custom, you can usually find a good creative workaround. But if you've hired a budget contractor who is installing pre-fab stuff, they usually go for the cheapest, fastest way to get it done. So you end up with support posts in awkward spots, odd gaps, things not properly centered, etc.
Imagine this is all in one big haunted house. I'm going to have to watch a Disney movie after seeing this. I may never sleep again....
Poor, I like the way you think. Imma add in some of those continuous pools, awkward balustrades, and weird decor.

In defense of all humans. All we really have is time. The things we do and create are done to pass time. We are all here just existing and passing time. So with that in mind, a shout out to each and everyone of these people that created something to pass time. As I to am passing time looking at these fascinating things. :)
I found these hard to look at, gonna shut down and walk away for a while.
