Why would it have to be those colors? There's a whole spectrum out there - what do *you* like?

I hate the trend of pretending you like small rooms, rooms with no flow, and houses that smell like old people and cats.

OMG same - not too much but we did get a little of that wood look tile in the bathroom, and have some exposed bulbs. I like blonde wood and will not apologize for it, though! Honestly I am so new to this whole having a house thing that I am still learning what I like and how to implement it.
I think exposed bulbs are trendy, but it's an ok kind of trendy -- easy and cheap to fix when it starts to look dated.

I hate the "modern farmhouse" trend. Classic farmhouses are nice but I'm talking about the McMansions that are built to resemble one but don't quite make it. Hope that trend dies out soon.
For instance I think these are so fugly:
I don't mind white kitchens but I hope the white on white on white trend everywhere else dies out soon.

Yes to all of this.

Fake front porches on McCraftsmens and modern farmhouses that are too shallow to comfortably hang out on.

Oh, yes. Open the front door and what do you see but a long and narrow room where everything is in full sight. I hate these flips.

I also hate faux everything. Vinyl siding meant to look like wood. Fake stones stuck on top of your facade instead of being the actual wall. Fake wood floors. Formica or quartz made to look like other stone... what's wrong with quartz? It's own qualities are quite nice. Stop faking it. Even newer materials have some redeeming qualities and should stop perpetrating a fraud. It looks CHEAP and feels gross.
I think the front load garages are more of a result of smaller lots than anything else. Town houses have them out of necessity, but if you have the land, why would you make it front load?

Lots of triangles on the roof.
White kitchens.
Mosiacs in the shower.
Subway tiles.
Open floor plans.
Columns everywhere.
