Hey Pandas, What Is An Interior Design Choice You Despise And Why? (Closed)

Which ties in with my pet peeve - microwaves below the counter! People want these fancy range hoods over the stove and then have no place for a microwave except to put it where you can't possibly look or reach inside.

I agree.

Ixnay on the open shelving if you have cats (we do)!

'you can't put dangerous stuff out of children's reach' Yes you can. There are locks you put inside cabinets and drawers. They existed even when my brother was born in 1969. And I think short people appreciate not having to climb up to reach stuff in the upper cabinets.

very informative

It’s gotten so cliche

I disagree. It's not always live, laugh, love. But it's fine if it is. It's your home. It can say what you want. Faith. Believe. Hate. Cry. Whatever. I like it.

That!

Totally devoid of anything interesting

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.

Boring and gets dirty really easily.

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.

Freud would have a field day with the owner of such a house.

This picture is ugly but it definitely can be done right

Somehow people still go for that. I’ve often thought that people who want open floor concept probably don’t cook much.

I don't like it either, but it seems I am more or less alone in not wanting an open floor plan.

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.

Every time I see these I think "wow, someone loved their bedsit so much they recreated it in their house".

I have this in the rental I'm buying. Can't WAIT to own it and rip that c**p up

I resemble this! I have a house full of this c**p.

When you can't replace what was horrible carpet (and need a smoother surface for a wheelchair) with the parquet flooring in the other part of the house because it would a) cost too much and b) the original wood was from old growth forest that is now protected and can't be harvested, this is a good enough alternative! Just don't let cats wee/spray on it in the same spot and destroy it!

I agree, but laminate flooring may be of a quality that is great looking for years, but not cheap

Actually, that looks like s**t-lap.

I like white shiplap, but the house has to be right for it. Like, a beach house.

Plus it endangers historical barns who are torn down for their wood.

Coloured cushions. Red flowers/plant. Persian carpet. These would give it a bit of umph.

I find earth tones very soothing. If there was a really nice art piece that had copper, bronze and gold in it above the fire place, it would transform the whole room from meh to wow.

You just cannot decorate like this if kids and/or pets are part of your life.

Grey everything trend. So cold. Ruining grey for me.

I gotta say I love it, it looks so nice.

I actually love the gray-ish flooring. As long as you don't have gray walls too.

I do like grey!

I'm a grandma, born in 1945 and I hate it too!

A piece here and there is fine. Adds dimension,

🌚

No, but you can lean forward on your arms and relax, lol.

I have a black thumb, I'm terrible with plants so no live plants in my house! But at least we have art.

This is so whole grain bland.

Am I weird because I love these designs of the bowl and plates?
