Are houses being dressed professionally?

Making a space look somewhat different is definitely a great challenge for a homeowner. If you have already concluded that there’s nothing and raised your hands in this case, then let us remind you that wallpapers are still there to your rescue. They could be one of the best choices to transform your living space. Wallpapers can give your spaces a perfect look if installed properly.

In today’s trending world, we have seen many homeowners have been genuinely able to use 3D wallpaper to add that extra space to their interiors and they come in different variants.

I'm definitely going to go and buy wallpaper now.

Yes, instead of spending tens of thousands on a conventional extension, we simply installed 3D eye-deceiving holographic wallpaper.

The effect was truly amazing. We found we could lose ourselves indoors for hours. In fact, we missed several meals searching for a way to the kitchen.

Next week I'm wallpapering the car. I'm aiming at a stretch limo, but may just have to settle for an MPV or people carrier. After all, there are limits....;)

House dressing is nothing new.

20 years ago there was a popular programme called "The House Doctor". People who couldn't sell their houses got her to tart them up, usually with lots of paint, new cushions etc plus decluttering. They then seemed to sell very quickly

Better still, go and buy wallpaper company shares.

Yes, because there was another program, not on TV though, it was called "The Cheaper Credit Doctor".

That's a popular trend now for few years already. Home sweet home, LOVE, Live Love Laugh etc.
You will also get used to it

A recent spin off was.. "House Doctor - Top 10 things that you need to fix to sell your house" :rotfl:


Fix the price and everything else will follow naturally, just like eating the right amount of fibre every day :money:
I believe this show now goes out in the early hours of the morning? Wonder who still watches it?

I am in the age range that these decorations are supposed to appeal to but I can't stand them either. I don't know if this is an Aberdeen thing but a lot of properties for sale have guitars in the photographs. I bet the vendors couldn't strum out Twinkle Twinkle Little Star if their lives depended on it.

Yep, seems to be the thing in Aberdeen right now - I suppose sellers are trying anything. The View nailed it a few years back (although Broughty Ferry is a bit further down the coast):

Superstar tradesman, stand at the bar
Get a trade son you will go far
You have a house in the Ferry and a new guitar
That's never been played before and it never will
Never been played before and it never will

Yes, 'soak' above the bath, 'relax' above the sofa and 'eat' above the dining table. Makes you wonder what the people who buy these things hang above the loo.

I often wonder if people with this sort of feature need theses notices so they know what they ought to be doing in that particular room!

People who decorate in that way are just following a trend in the same way as many of us did as teenagers, before growing out of it.

If one doesn't have many original thoughts on decoration, or a good budget, these bits of trivia fill a perceived need. The fact that they may be seen in many places proves they're popular, and popular means they can't possibly be 'wrong,' can they?
