Cruising through real estate sites, this listing doesn't scream "unique." Red-brick, four rooms, a £685,000 price tag: an ordinary house nestled in the heart of Harlow, England. However, something in this residence has captured the attention of social media users, and it's none other than its interior. Decked out in a surprisingly striking white theme, it has become the talk of the town, leaving many scratching their heads.
Upon entering the virtual tour of the house, one cannot help but notice the abundance of white. The walls, stairs, carpet, furniture, and decoration all seem to gleam as if under a spotlight. And with this unusual choice, internet users find themselves quite perplexed.
Struggling to Handle the Brightness: A Snowy Shelter?
"Agh, my eyes hurt!" one Reddit user exclaims. "Snowblindness," another equally dismayed individual replies. "I couldn't live there. Feels like walking into a sterile laboratory." Another jokingly quips, "But Karen, haven't you heard? Each room has its own theme. One is 'White', one 'The Snow Queen', then 'Frozen', 'Antarctica', 'Greenland', 'Not Blue'..." Others joke about the maintenance required to keep such a pristine dwelling spotless. "Just once, I want to savor spaghetti with Bolognese and a glass of red wine in this damn house!"
While some users approach this white-washed house with a pragmatic mindset, others see it as a blank canvas. "It's a spacious house; with a bit of personal touch, it'll adopt its own personality." Infact, another agrees, "White is more cost-effective and hassle-free compared to bold colors when it comes to modifications."

I'm not sure if I could adjust to living in such a stark, white house, just like a snowblind person struggling in bright conditions. Literally, some Reddit users have compared living in the Harlow house to walking into a sterile laboratory. Yet, others see its potential as a blank canvas for personalization, making it a more cost-effective option compared to boldly-colored homes.
