    I'm impressed!! I haven't seen a house with such detailed co-ordination in the bedrooms. Curtains matching the duvets!!

    Using the exact same material? Not something I've seen before! I wouldn't have enough curtains to change them everytime I changed my duvet covers.

    I thought it was pretty normal too - are you saying you don't have matching pairs of duvet covers? No need to change the curtains then.
    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    Yes, but those are images from websites advertising furnishing/bedding, etc, so of course they will match perfectly.

    In all the houses I've looked at on Right Move, that's the only one that has stood out where all bedrooms have matching duvet covers and curtains.

    Find me five houses on Rightmove, where the duvet and curtains match (and has to be patterned, not plain/white) and I'll shut up. :p

    No, all my duvet covers are totally different actually. I like them different, as it makes the room look different when you initially change it.

    Not rightmove, but my local equivalent (quicker to browse and post photos) http://www.aspc.co.uk/Search/HomesForSale/index.html :)

    We used to live near this tasteful house and I always wondered what it was like inside.

    Thankfully it more than lives up to expectations ;-) Pretty hopeful on asking price, I would say it is overvalued by 500k but perhaps it includes the butler on page 8!

    I wonder what they have photoshopped out of the view from the balcony, pic 2

    It's each to their own. At the moment I don't actually have matching bedding and curtains (only have curtains in 2 bedrooms and blinds in the other 2), but I have in the past and know plenty of people that do. You just said you'd never seen it before which I thought was a little bit strange. :)
