Wow. Purple is my favorite color and this still makes me want to vomit. The white walls are really jarring. The floor is pretty slick, but not at all right for a kitchen. This is awful in every conceivable way.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I love purple and I even love cabinets with some color in it. But this ain't it, chief. It's like they deliberately chose the most vibrant and gaudy color imaginable.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I cannot even believe this is the actual color. It looks so bad plus there's just something off about the color of light coming through the window. Imagine if the saturation was less and it was a little more red. It'd be a perfectly normal color choice in that case. Hard to say if it's just the photo or not, or if it was photoshopped to exaggerate a slightly-off color.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

Might be a weirdly overly saturated photo. Sometimes I feel like real estate agents go a bit wild with the color alterations they do in photos.

This is why you have accent pieces or walls and not an accent room.

[–] KinglyWeevil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 months ago

I could see like...a row of purple accent tiles in a backsplash. But fuck.

This has the aesthetics of spilled ice cream.

I’m thinking Two Scoops of drawer bases in every kitchen

[–] Quik@infosec.pub 26 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The floor is incredibly cool tho

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago

I hate it. It permanently looks like something has spilled on it

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah... but that floor is what makes me think that all is just color edit of the image.

[–] wolfpack86@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Agree 100% it's a photo shop.

[–] celeste@kbin.social 23 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Was something done in like photoshop with the colors in this pic? It looks off to me, but I'm not an expert.

[–] Godnroc@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago

Most listings have their photos over saturated and the shadows lifted to make things appear brighter and more colorful. In this case, it's like a flash bang.

I originally saw this on my phone with a red light filter… I thought the cabinets were brown and the marble a bit much.

… now without the filter this is much worse lol.

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

yeah it was shopped. you can tell by the pixels.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

100% with you on this. The light coming from outside is blue? What planet has a blue sun?

[–] itchick2014@midwest.social 3 points 9 months ago

It isn’t the blue sun…or is it? Sunlight when outside doing a long exposure is blue. But this is more due to the atmosphere than the sun. This is why “daylight” light bulbs have a bluish tint. The sun itself is not blue, it is just the atmosphere interacting with it that change the way we perceive the light on objects from it.

Doung this for yourself ? All the power to you, it's unhinged, but in a fun way.
Doing this for resell? I know that people are tired of bland greige houses, but you may want to tone it down a bit.

[–] Stanwich@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

Motherf#@ker stabbed grimace on that floor then dragged him out.

[–] Hagdos@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

I think it's really awesome! But I would never want to live in it 😔

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 14 points 9 months ago

I love it, but I have horrible taste (exemplified by the fact that I'd love it even more if the white was black.) This was definitely not the move to take if you're trying to sell quickly. Yikes.

Apart from the colour, what is up with the scale of this kitchen? The top looks to be about knee high. The weirdly tall upper cupboards and the angle of the pic make it so odd, is the ceiling at like 2m?

[–] Lath@kbin.social 11 points 9 months ago

It's made for Barney the dinosaur.

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Maybe Wario and Waluigi will take a tour after their honeymoon

Fuck house flippers

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago

If the cabinets were more neutral it would be totally fine. A good shade of gray would make it look much nicer.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Yo dawg, i heard you like Chinese porcelain kitchen ware so i made your kitchen look like Chinese porcelain so you can prepare Chinese porcelain dishes while standing in Chinese porcelain

[–] DrunkenPirate@feddit.de 6 points 9 months ago

Can’t understand „the market“: It’s a phantasic kitchen for blueberry pudding lovers

[–] wall_inhabiter@lemdro.id 4 points 9 months ago

Should never have smoked that lean blunt now i'm in the leantchen
