Mid century modern. It makes me want to vomit. The taper pointy wooden legs on all the sofas and chairs, the orange hues. I just can’t.

A not too distant second would be the blue and white floral vase southern look a la Ballard Designs.

What makes you cringe?


Yes, "modern" anything. 1950s- 1980s.

Me too. In my family we call them stormtrooper houses. Can’t stand them.


Stormtrooper house is an awesome description. This is going to date so badly in just a few years.

To complain.

To pick apart other people over nothing of consequence.


or that you can't change.


Move your stairs people. How dare they be near the front door where they are most convenient and traditional.

Wallpaper borders.

They were ugly even when they were sort of in style, and now they are just offensive.

I live in an MCM house and I love it, but I don't have any MCM furniture. I don't hate it, but outfitting a whole house in it just looks costume-y, like the house is dressed as MCM for Halloween, or the case of my house like it's a time capsule.

I think MCM in general is cute, but it's just so overdone right now that we're all sick of seeing it. When Walmart is selling MCM, then you know the trend is done.

I like comfortable and cozy. A couch or chair that you enjoy sitting in, where can put your feet up (no shoes), use cozy throw blanket, and pillows that are for using rather than just décor.

Warm colors on the wall so the room is inviting, but not overstimulating. No clutter, but also not bare. My home is not a museum or a store front.

I don't know if there is a word for it, but I'm told my home is cozy and it puts guests at ease.


I think California modern can be what you are describing.

I am a smirky b when I see people do crazy things with paint on walls. I don't want the wall to be the accent. I don't do greige but I want neutrally colors on the wall so the art shows. I don't mind loud beautiful wallpaper in a room or two.

Guests usually need a more direct approach.

LEAVE!

I've always wanted to make an autumn-themed embroidery sampler that says "Leaf Me Alone". Would Hobby Lobby carry that?

Barn doors. I live in a neighborhood of lovely, classic 1920s homes and I hate it when remodelers replace doors with barn doors that look so out of place.

The gray everywhere walls.

Beyond that I don't hate particular styles. Some styles are overdone these days but that is always true of popular styles at their peak. Each to its own.

+1 There’s something chilling about their website and catalog pics.


Glad someone beat me to it, I don't get this brand at all. Doing an address change has meant lots of furniture catalogs, plenty of which aren't my taste, but RH is an abomination on every page.


NP here, and I can’t believe how insanely expensive it is for what it is. It’s boring depressing furniture that doesn’t look *that* much different than some of the stuff you can find at Pottery Barn or even Target home goods section.

I live in a neighborhood with a lot of tear downs and every time new construction starts DH and I are like … let me guess … White House with black windows. And it inevitably is. It’s today’s version of the blue hardie that was put on every new home circa the 2010s. I can drive through my neighborhood and guesstimate when a house was built just based on siding color. It’s insane how all these builders just copy each other instead of doing anything with personality, but I guess it sells.

Isn't all trendy stuff just a sign of being boring and unoriginal? This is why I've never understood fashion, either. Anyone can copy what they see someone else doing.
