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.
Open Floor Concept. I Don’t Want A Kitchen In My Living Room
You clearly have not seen any good open floors

I agree the entire house gets super noisy and everything smells like food especially when your extractor fan isn’t good.
Open plan means noise. I don't want the whole house hearing my snoring while they're trying to play a musical instrument and watch TV. Need at least two shuttable doors between any two noise sources.

Somehow people still go for that. I’ve often thought that people who want open floor concept probably don’t cook much.
Open floor plan is more expensive to heat or cool, you have fewer places for art, books, shelves, etc.
I don't like it either, but it seems I am more or less alone in not wanting an open floor plan.
You're definitely not alone. The home improvement programs hype this fad constantly in order to generate DIY product and contractor services sales. Heating costs, noise, smells and the continual destruction of beautiful historic homes by people completely lacking respect for them disturbs me.

And pets. It needs to be possible to close the door and keep them out of the kitchen, imho.

The house I just bought was built in 1930, and we just installed a door to the kitchen. Keeps the heat out of the rest of the house and the cats off the counters.
Mine at least has a partial wall. You can't see anything except the kitchen table. I wouldn't want to see the whole kitchen either.
I honestly truly love my open floor plan and wouldn't have it any other way. It gives me so much more space in a double wide counter space in the split so that you can have a breakfast bar at it the sink at it and a lot of other stuff at it. It makes me moving stuff around easier it makes life easier it makes cleaning easier and having moved from an open floor plan to Old School closed floor plan and back to open I am happy
Cheap Laminate Flooring
I have this in the rental I'm buying. Can't WAIT to own it and rip that c**p up
Shiplap. Unless You’re Going For The “Cozy Barn” Look
Kitchen Stools Instead Of A Table And Chairs. Just Can't Sit Back And Relax On A Stool
No Art Or Living Plants. Could Not Live Without Paintings, Graphics, Sculptures Etc. And Green Plants
I have a black thumb, I'm terrible with plants so no live plants in my house! But at least we have art.
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.
