For Me Personally Kitchens Without Upper Cabinets
For me personally kitchens without upper cabinets. You lose so much storage space, have to stoop constantly and you can’t put dangerous stuff out of children’s reach. Also backsplashes out of artistic materials like stone or bricks. It’s really hard to clean them and they stain to easily.
All White Interior
What really burns me up is painting vintage woodwork in vintage houses white. Sills, trim, built-ins, mantels, sometimes even floors. I love old houses, but I hate seeing them destroyed in misguided attempts to "update" them. Why buy an old house and then drain it of the things that make it special?

It just looks too clinical and I'd be paranoid of any spills and mess.
Like, imagine someone sneezing in their bag of cheetos.

I tend to like white walls, but I put color all over with decor and furniture. This just looks like I'm in the clean room of W***y Wonka. I'm looking for Mike Teavee. EDIT: BP, you seriously censoring the word W*I*L*L*Y? I think PBS has less censorship rules than this site does.
I always laugh when designers on those HGTV shows give white couches to people with kids. I wouldn't even trust myself with a white couch!
Neither would I. Also: We chose our sofa for comfort, not for looks. We wanted high back and neck rests. We don't care if it's not sleek and fashionable. At our age, comfort comes first.

I feel bad for liking it lol. Visually clean and simple. I'm not one for knick knacks and my brain is most calm in a gentle minimalist environment.
Same here! Also, it will end up looking cluttered and more colorful (and personal) once the everyday items accumulate there... So better to start out minimalistic

This is only acceptable in one case - they have a white long-haired cat and the hair would be visible everywhere if the interior was a different color...:)

Anything By The Pioneer Woman Unless You Want Your Home To Look Mawmaw To Death
Am I weird because I love these designs of the bowl and plates?

This has actually the purpose of preventing sewage from spilling up and not reaching the septic tank.
Vertical Blinds!
Unlike traditional horizontal blinds, the vertical ones tend to shift, flip and gather – creating a sloppy window treatment look. It is an 80's design imprint both appreciated and detested.
Using Books You’ve Never Read As Decoration To Make You Appear More Cultured Than You Actually Are
Lazy Off-The-Shelf Art Prints Instead Of Something More Meaningful On Your Walls
The only art we want on our walls is stuff that means something to us. By which I mean: we don't choose it to be part of the decor. We have paintings and photos by people we love, prints given to us by friends, some animation cels treasured by the man of the house, and (my own contribution) some old publicity photos of golden-age movie stars (given to me as a retirement gift by a friend who rescued them from the trash at the newspaper he used to work for). These are not decor. They are our treasures.
The 1970s Have A Lot To Answer For
I prefer the colours to todays grey and beige horror show, but other parts where definitely questionable.
Why go this direction? Why not raise the tone? Maybe do a post called, "Hey Pandas, what's an interior design choice you love and why?" There's too much negativity as it is.
Coloured throw cushions. I can't sit on the lounge any more. Instant clutter.
