A man has caused a stir online after roasting the ‘tasteless’ decor at his sister’s house.
Alex Van Gurp, 30, of East Hampton, New York, took to TikTok with two clips exposing the items he said were “nonsensical.”
They included a slew of throw pillows, ornaments, and wall art that he denounced as “bad household items.”
But the videos were met with an army of angry commenters, as one wrote, “Good thing it’s HER house, your opinion doesn’t matter unless you pay the mortgage.”

The items included a slew of throw pillows, ornaments and wall art that he dismissed as “bad household items.”
In the first episode, which has been viewed more than 468,000 times, Alex can be seen sitting on the stairs filming himself in the mirror.
The digital creator begins, “This is tacky stuff in my sister’s house that makes no sense. It produces bad household items.’
He then displays a range of household objects, including “life is better at the beach” coasters, a multi-photo frame on the wall emblazoned with the words “family,” and a “home sweet home” utensil holder.
Alex simply concludes, “Like what is this.”
But he got a barrage of comments from people coming to his sister’s aid.
One of them wrote, “This is one woman’s attempt to make a nice home for her family. It should be appreciated, not broken down.’
Another added, “You forgot to bring the judgmental sanctimonious brother.”
And a third simply said: ‘It gives bitter brother. Do it better.’
Undeterred by the negativity, Alex shared a follow-up clip in direct response to one of the replies he received

Undeterred, Alex shared a follow-up clip in direct response to one of the replies he received.
Introducing it as “tacky things in my sister’s house that don’t make any sense, part two,” he begins, “You guys were so mad last time, so let’s get back to it.”
At the start of the tour, Alex continues: ‘First up, we have this beautiful stitched cushion that just says ‘family’.
“We move into the kitchen for this chalkboard that just says ‘welcome family’ and this changes regularly based on what’s going on.”
He concludes: ‘Strong finish with these cork letters of their initials. You can’t make this up.’
