You ’re allowed to disagree , but I ’m right .
I, like so many of us in this glorious economy, do not own my own home, and thus am unable to decorate or design said home to my liking. Instead (for better or worse — oftentimes worse) I spend time looking atotherpeople’s renovation jobs, which are posted all over the internet.
Obviously, I love to hate watch people who are richer than me decorating the houses that I cannot afford in ways that I wouldneverchoose to decorate them. And I know I’m not alone here, so bear with me while I indulge in being a hater for just a second. Below, you’ll find all the design trends that I absolutely hate; and you’ll be able to tell me whether you agree with me or not!
Yes . And I can recollect it ’s horrifying . But in the interest of letting The People ™ have a voice , I am reach you the vote : you’re able to secern me , below each opinion , whether I am justified , or am I absolutely wrong .
1.Floating staircases. I feel like I’d fall off the landing and break my head open.
2.Exterior spotlights. Your house isn’t the Parthenon.
Canthey be beautiful ? Sometimes ! But I do n’t postulate to be force to look at how beautiful you call back your home is . Also , light defilement is worthless .
3.Doorless showers. Doesn’t water get everywhere?
4.Stark white / all neutral / “Millennial grey” décor.
5.Recessed lighting.
Cold and sterile . hurt my brain . bribe yourself a lamp .
6.Ridiculously high ceilings.
This is very subjective and I recognize that . But sometimes high cap just make it all toocavernous . Why am I surrounded by four towering , blank , white wall ? Why is the Rockefeller Christmas tree in here ?
7.Smart appliances.
My fridge does not involve an app .
My oven does not necessitate an app . My microwave oven does not require an app . MY MUG DOES NOT necessitate AN APP !
8.Faux fur throws.
formative sucks ! Just get a well - made normal mantle .
9.All-black exteriors.
SometimesI like it . But it calculate on the environs . In the middle of the woods ? Cozy - mod ! In a SoCal suburban area ? I ’m baking just looking at it .
10.Excessive use of colored light bulbs.
I ’m go to confess something : I in fact own these and use them in easing ( I like warm lighting ) ! But grow too violent with it makes even the most beautiful nursing home feeling like someone ’s hall . Why is your living elbow room blue ?
11.Banana and palm trees in biomes that do not naturally have banana or palm trees.
12.All-glass houses.
I can see you in there . Get drapery .
13.Modern, bland, grey-blue or pre-distressed area rugs. I think this is part of the Millennial grey thing.
genuinely wealthy masses , pleasebring back expensive , hired hand - made oriental rug . They ’re gorgeous and you ’re the only 1 who can afford them . Please . For us .
14.Stark marble floors withnorugs.
They ’re too whitened . They ’re too shiny . They pall me and they make me remember you have zero original taste . Also , I feel like I ’m in the foyer of an agency building , not your beautiful plate .
15.And finally,turf.
Turf , my enemy ! The bane of my existence ! You wo n’t be able to convince me on this one , I ’m afraid , even with the " it uses less piddle ! " argument . If that ’s a care , just plant aboriginal plants — I give way to see how credit card is better for the environment .
