Interior decoration of mechanical perfection, lacking all life or connection to its owner. Furniture that you don't dare use, since actual use would destroy the design effect.
My aunt's house was furnished in ghastly good taste. She had plastic slipcovers on all the furniture so that we children wouldn't actually contact the fancy upholstery, and plastic runners on the carpets.

Decor and furnishings that are untouched by human hands. You don't dare use it lest you spoil the effect. Plastic slipcovers, plastic 'authentic reproductions' and sterile decor all qualify as ghastly good taste.
My aunt's house was furnished in ghastly good taste. She had plastic slipcovers on top of the plastic slipcovers.
