Haha yeah, we aren’t the type to be redecorating every few years. In fact half the house is still not finished despite it being 15 years, and it’s not even a big house. Every time we got close to it, we decided to either do some building work that would mess it up so it wasn’t worth decorating yet, or have a big holiday or get married or something. The last one just once obviously. BUT! We do have someone (forum recommended) booked in to project manage a big push to finally sort the place out next year, so may finally join the world of responsible adult home owning.

Yeah, it didn't smell but we hired a rug doctor and gave it a good wash. All this was 15+ years ago.
Mind, given the general standard of private furnished rentals me and my friends had in the North in the 90s, I can't get over-concerned about a lived on carpet.
