Its not the theme or the going with it, it how badly they went with it. That ceiling decoration in the lounge is so .... wrong. And you can buy repro ornate ceiling mouldings that would actually look OK if applied correctly too

I mean, I'm not saying I like it, but it probably looks much less garish IRL.
The estate agents have clearly taken the photos on an overcast day, then (with their usual cack-handed approach to photography) fucked with the sliders in Photoshop until the pictures look less dingy.

The aesthetic approach seems to have been circling every area that didn’t have trim and adding trim to it, then doing that again and again and again

Had to squint to look at these images. How do you keep this place clean? So many places you need to dust.

It's definitely a place where gold lamé slippers and a silk smoking jacket would fit right in...

Location, location, Location. And a reasonable layout.

That is some crazyhouse decor, hopefully it doesn't come furnished.

New money does all white everything.

That is the apartment of the Russian oligarchy lineage, who still think that is the epitome of taste in home design because it was the epitome of taste between Peter the Great and bread lines.

I guess it's what I think of as 'new money' because it's what 'new money' decorated places like when I was a kid. Everything had to look like it came out of some 18th century dream chateau.
