I’m an interior design – if you have these in your house you need to go to jail & a loo seat faux pas deserves 5 years
AN interior designer has lifted the lid on the home decor trends he says are so bad that following them should land you in jail.
And there’s plenty of contenders, according to Phoenix Grey, better known as ‘Design Daddy’.
Phoenix, who can be found via TikTok at @mrphoenixgrey, regularly shares his views on some of the hottest trends in home decor.
And he didn’t hold back in his latest post as he blasted everything from using minor jars as decoration to a loo seat choice he deemed unforgivable.
The interior designer uploaded a video titled: ‘Decor items that I’m going to send you to jail for.’
He then began his sin list with a popular homeware brand that was founded back in 1995 and still has fans two decades later.
He explained: “Starting off strong with the life sentence – you know what it is… Rae Dunn decor.
“These whimsical decor items have been literally a cult favourite and they are so polarising.
“You either love them or absolutely detest them.”
Design Daddy then shared what side of the fence he sat on when it came to the decor debate, as he slammed the idea.
He revealed: “There will be no trial for this – straight to jail.”
Phoenix has similarly strong views on another trend he’s noticed is making a slow comeback – the crochet toilet paper holder.
He went on to tell his 709k plus followers he was referring to all kinds, but “especially those with the doll.”
Design Daddy then said if you choose to put these in your bathroom, you should be “sent to a ward” and unable to leave for crimes against decor.
He added with his tongue firmly in his cheek: “No-one – and I mean absolutely no-one – wants to make eye contact with one of those things when they’re sitting on the toilet.”
This observation led quickly onto Design Daddy’s next big no-no.
He continued: “While we’re on the topic of bathrooms, I’m going to sentence you to five years if you have the matching rug and toilet seat cover that’s just going to collect bacteria.
“These are so dated and I’ve seen them coming back so please, please, please don’t do these.”
He then stressed for further effect: “Honestly, do NOT put these in your bathroom.
“This is a petri dish for bacterial growth.”
Design Daddy then issued a warning on the final error he’s seen.
He concluded: “While court is in session, the final ruling today is mason jar decor.
“Like I’ve said before, not everything needs to be upcycled and this DIY trend goes so overboard because you can’t have just one – you need the entire matching set.
“I’ll let you off easy with this one as I know it can be a really affordable thing, so I’m going to give you five years but you can have probation with good behaviour.”
