Hadley Freeman on the interior trends she wants to call time on

As a result of I spent most of final yr house-hunting, I turned extraordinarily well-versed within the present dwelling décor tendencies, a lot of that are appalling, however one – properly, one is extra sophisticated.

The primary pattern that actually wants to finish now’s greige partitions. Why achieve this many British folks insist on portray their houses in terrible muted grey-brown-blah colors? Is it to match the sky outdoors? Do they suppose it seems to be stylish? Properly, enable me to disabuse that notion now: it doesn’t. It’s miserable. I blame paint firms and their bizarre color names, though it’s not like they didn’t warn us, naming them issues like “Elephant’s Breath.” Have you ever ever smelled an elephant’s breath? Why would you wish to dwell in that? No surprise folks on this nation have to drink a lot tea to cheer themselves up.
