I'm an interior designer
AN interior designer has admitted he has no interest in hanging out in a home that is poorly decorated.
There are four mistakes that he can't help but cringe at – and he's judging you for your tile choice.
Phoenix Grey (@mrphoenixgrey) calls himself a "design daddy" thanks to his expertise in the field, and said there are a few decorating choices that are unforgivable.
"Reasons I will leave your home as an interior designer," he began in the clip.
The first disgraceful look, in his opinion, is a Tuscan-inspired kitchen.
"I mean who wouldn't love wakening up to a villa in Italy? But the villas in Italy do not actually look like this," he criticized.
The expert believes the usual chocolate brown cabinetry and tan marble counters make your space look "gaudy and tasteless."
"The hodgepodge of finishes, honestly that's the cherry on the cake for me.
"The faux painting, the stove, the travertine tiles, the granite, the terracotta floors – there's just so much going on."
Phoenix added that it is never ok to have mosaic tiles in your home.
"I have some PTSD from these mosaic tiles, because honestly they don't do it for me."
Pointing at glass beige ones, he said those "specifically are terrible," calling them "dated."
The third item he hopes home-owners will toss is pine furniture.
"You may love it, but honestly it doesn't go with anything.
"No matter how you finish it, you sand it down, you stain it, it will always look yellow.
"Even if you paint over it, the yellow will bleed through it."
Phoenix believes it is the worst wood variety to have in your space.
The last no-no when designing your space was ostrich feather décor items.
"I’m OK with them being a sculptural element in you’re looking for that artistic piece.
"But functionality – one, I’m pretty sure that's a fire hazard, and two, if you go to a showroom, run your hands through one of these. The amount of dust and mites that will fall from it – it's basically a Swiffer duster."
