80s modern with the black leather and the glass. Impractical, ugly, tacky. Hate hate hate.

The faux farmhouse aesthetic popularized by Joanna Gaines with the stupid wooden signs and the big clocks and fake shiplap etc. etc. So ubiquitous. So unstylish.

I don't have the same hate for midcentury modern as some on this thread but I think it's overdone and also a lot of individual MCM pieces are objectively ugly and don't get more attractive just because they once lived in an office in the 60s. However I really love true Danish modern and other Scandinavian offshoots, for their clean lines and use of color.

I also have a real fondness for maximalism done well, and my sense is that DCUM absolutely hates that kind of thing. I'm talking about patterned wallpaper with contrasting furniture and pillows and baroque frames in mismatched finishes and heavy curtains hung from the top of the wall to the floor, layered rugs, etc. Wild color combos incorporating bright pinks and yellows and oranges. It can easily go wrong but when well executed, I absolutely love it. I love color so much, I wish people weren't so afraid of it in home design.

Do you like this?

Flat bottom bathroom sinks. Why is this a thing. They look disgusting after one use.

Griege walls. Life is just not that grim. Find joy.

Such a bizarre take lol

MCM furniture is usually uncomfortable. The hard surfaces, sharp edges, and straight lines are visually stressful; they don’t feel organic, and people are unconsciously tense in those environments. The style isn’t designed for warmth or a sense of caring.
