Furnishings are all hired for the photos/viewings from one of those property dressing companies, because apparently many buyers can’t imagine furnished rooms. Typically you can opt to buy these as a job lot from the property dresser. The overall look is simultaneously tacky & bland but really bad compared to most dressed places.
Sheetrock in the fireplaces is likely because the refurbishment isn’t yet 100% completed per the text. The inserts are either still at the restorers or still being recreated to the original design.
The restoration looks way too harsh in many areas, but if the house was in particularly bad shape before work began, it gets hard to fix damage and retain the softness of age whilst complying with building regs.
Spotlights, however, are death. Whichever heritage officer they worked with should have forbade them that.
Probably. Bright, wide-angle downlight dotted all over the damn ceiling create that uncanny valley look.
Struggling to think of any domestic application where they would not be an unreasonable choice - maybe a particularly small shower room where all of the walls where one might mount a wall light have some problem which means they cannot be used. Even then, ugh.
Under-cabinet is the best use I can think of. But rows of them in a white ceiling, especially I a living or bedroom area is yuck. I’d rather have an Artex ceiling!

Spotlights have very limited domestic use, and beyond a few applications, look hideous as well as offering poor function.
Also, is it the spots making the kitchen look AI generated?

I’d rather live in the dark, haha!
