      It’s a definite no from me. The color scheme and that floor, just no. The stove sticking out, also a definite no.

      All the cupboards also seem abnormally shallow to me, as if large plates would not be able to fit in the hanging cupboards. But maybe my perspective is confused because of a larger stove than I’m used to.

      For me, that entire kitchen would have to be replaced after buying. We don’t know what corners this house flipper cut though, I would not trust this place to be done well.

      I could… survive this layout.

      But when selling a house, you want to appeal to as many as possible. And this kitchen does not have wide appeal.

          I would argue that there is many ways to preserve wider appeal w.o. it having to be boring.

          Heck even in this kitchen if all that was wrong was the paint job, you can fix that in a weekend.

          But it is the floor and working top, the shape of the cabinets, the poor tiling and walls, the mismatch of the cabinets and stove, the lack of appliance space, the lack of windows…

            You can, but it requires more skill and more effort.

            Skill and effort are often in high demand and low supply.

      The colour scheme is ok and is even used a lot by brands, but it doesn’t work at all for this kitchen. I can’t believe the kitchen company even agreed to it. As in, I would imagine they’d warn them it’s gonna be f*ing ugly and only go through with it when they insist.

    I love purple or other weird colors/ features in houses. It means I can get the property with less competition as most buyers are afraid of basic renovations.

    My house had shitty purple walls and weird space age looking chrome light fixtures everywhere. Took me a while two days after closing to paint and replace it all. I was the only person who had put an offer in.

      Perhaps. I’m honestly not sure how this kitchen could have cost anywhere near 15 grand. The cabinets are all just repainted and the stove doesn’t look particularly extravagant.

      Maybe if the floor is real marble/granite?

          Yeah, no, I’m pretty sure that’s the floor. If it was a countertop, it would only work to create the illusion of a floor from one specific angle, and I kinda doubt a house flipper would go to the length of building a countertop for that particular purpose. Yeah, a picture from that angle might help attract potential buyers, but it would be immediately visible when you come in for an inspection. I’m pretty sure there’s more effective and less obvious ways to screw your buyers.

        I don’t think you can get purple marble? If you could, I can’t imagine youd use it in a floor for a kitchen like this. It’d be for a counter used as an accent piece for a millionaire’s mansion’s 2nd kitchen.

          Yeah, at this point in time I basically just assume everything is fake until proven real.

          And I’ve been around some of these house flippers, they love to brag in public about how much money and effort they’re spending to renovate these houses but in private they always brag about how much money they’re saving by cutting various corners and getting everything done on the cheap.

              I found one local house for $70K that had a huge number of problems, like cracks and rust showing through the stucco exterior, broken fascia boards, upstairs that was only 6’ high, stairway that came up into the upstairs bathroom etc. etc. (the house dated from around 1850 or so). I passed on it, but I was surprised to see that it sold just a few days later, and even more surprised when it was re-listed less than two months later for $195K. I went to see it again and it was a classic lipstick-on-a-pig flip: just grey paint and those nasty grey fake wood vinyl floor planks everywhere. I’ve never been so flat out offended by a flip before - and the thing sold almost immediately for the asking price. I feel sorry for the schmucks who bought that thing, although they probably turned around and sold it for $300K.

      Yeah no house would stay on the market for over a year with the reason being something a buyer could fix with a few grand.

    Honestly, the interior decor of a house probably seldom matters.

    It always depends on geography.

    If you have a outrageously painted kitchen inside a house in a prime area, no one is going to care about the colors of the cupboards.

      Well, if you have a house to sell in a prime area, there’s no need to put in an outrageous kitchen like that in order to attract buyers. The only reason you’d need to do that is if your house ISN’T.

    Honestly if the color would be less vibrant and more washed out, it’d look great. I love to the floor has purple accents as well that match the furniture
