Fans are being savage about Selling Sunset's Heather Rae El Moussa's home

Fans are being savage about Selling Sunset's Heather Rae El Moussa's home

As the hosts of HGTV's The Flipping El Moussas, Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa are no strangers to buying, remodeling, and selling homes. But when they spotted a 3,000-square-foot home in Newport Beach, California, they wanted to keep it for their growing family. After a year-and-a-half of renovations, the dynamic duo gave HGTV Magazine a sneak peek of their space. However, fans of the El Moussa family aren't vibing with the couple's new digs. If we're being honest, they actually have some... well, harsh feedback.

Most fans of the HGTV power couple took issue with the home's moody-yet-neutral color palette. When the couple decided to forgo their flipping plan and call this property home, they wanted to put their unique spin on it. "When we first saw this house, the interior was completely white, so we had to put our own flair on it," Heather said to the magazine. From the textured wallpaper surrounding the fireplace to the home's dark exterior—which is painted in Tricorn Black by Sherwin-Williams—the couple revved up the drama in their beach abode.

However, when Selling Sunset's Heather posted the big reveal on Instagram, fans wished the space had more personality. One follower wrote: "A lot of black, gray, and white. I think it needs warmer tones like the bedroom has just to give it a more cozy feeling. But that’s just my opinion." Another fan said there was "far too much black," and recommended adding some blue to nod to the nearby ocean. Meanwhile, other commenters offered less-than-constructive feedback, calling their home tacky. (Ouch!)
