A WOMAN who’s been told by her estate agent that her house is too “extra” to sell is now facing trolls comparing the home to an “Indian restaurant”.
Dionne had initially shared a tour of the bottom floor of her three-storey house on her TikTok page, writing over the top: “Thinking of selling my house but apparently no-one will like ‘that’ style!”
The clip focused on the kitchen, with grey shiny cabinets and gold accents, as well as a small dining area in it, which had black and gold sofas, a chandelier and gold decorations.
Dionne then showed the living room, with a black and gold marble look wall behind the grey leather sofa.
She also insisted the three-bed, three-bath property is in a “great location”, with a garden she’s just spent £10k on renovating.
Dionne also said she’s aware that the house won’t be “everyone’s cup of tea”, which she quickly discovered in the comments section of her videos.
“Absolutely horrific,” one wrote.
“Like I was violently killed and woke up in a 90s traveller mafia boss caravan.”
And while another compared it to an “Indian restaurant takeaway”, someone else said it looked more like a “Turkey dental waiting area”.
“Definitely B&M vibe,” another added.
With Dionne responding: “I’m actually devastated at this comment.”
“It’s very B&M,” a third agreed.
“It’s like there’s a theme throughout the house which is a bit tacky.”
“Giving Temu Dubai vibes,” someone else said.
“All you need now is some lion statues on the front drive and plastic sheeting over the sofas,” another wrote.
Dionne responded to the backlash, as she insisted she’s “not bothered” by it, but urged people to reconsider leaving “nasty, mean comments” on other people’s TikTok videos, as it “could really cause some damage to their self-esteem and just their whole life”.
“Like, why would you want to do that?” she questioned, urging them to “spread positivity”.
Dionne went on to respond to some of the rudest comments she’s received, as she revealed she thinks her house is “f**king stunning”.

And despite the majority of people disagreeing with her, there were also some who were entirely on her side.
“This is house goals… it’s stunning!” one wrote.
“If I bought this house I wouldn’t be changing anything, it’s beautiful,” another added.
“Your house is beautiful,” a third insisted.
“I would find another estate agent!”
