Like the sign I have above my toilet that says "LET'S EAT". I'm a fuggin' genius, k?!

Living in a large Canadian city where the first 'permanent' houses were made from locally made bricks, I'd like to point out that some clays used in inexpensive (single-fired) bricks can be very susceptible to frost cracking - winter, obviously. They're porous, absorb a fair bit of water, and in the frosty morning, little bits break off. Paint is just a 'sealant' and coloured all-weather paint is cheaper than specialty sealers. It's called 'SPALLING' I think.

It's lovely when a home is a reflection of the owner. Your unique touches give it character versus it looking like a hotel room.

I know!! It can hardly make a house feel like a home 😤

My husband and I ended up doing our own interior designing. We went to four different designers and each one tried to pressure us into this style because it’s the “in” style for upper class couples. We told them we’re decorating a home, not a museum. I refuse to spend a ton of money to be uncomfortable in my own home.

This is much better and way more comfortable than all those boho-style homes crammed with pillows and decorations. But if my friends decorate their home like a tea house, I won't judge. Just like they appreciate my clean, grey and white home 😸

I can. Patterns and superfluous design flourishes make my skin crawl. Give me minimal, hard edges all day every day.

It's for introverts... makes you get out faster... then a little special lever is pulled from a bookshelf in the other room and everything becomes nice and cozy.

The cement floors and counters…. My back, my chipped dishes…, ugh

Something else designed Mid-century: The Edsel.

Have to disagree with this one. Love the Art Deco / Modern Industrial look. I can't stand the Barbie Dream Home white open concept plastic looking homes.

I grew up as the child of a class 4 hoarder. So by the time I moved out, any amount of clutter gives me anxiety. I like to have my apartment clean, with only what I need. Everything else either goes in a cabinet or a closet.

As someone with anxiety I find that look soothing- it's clean and bright. It feels very restful to me, but I also realize it's not for everyone

Got to agree with you there. And another thing that bothers me is whole walls of glass with no window coverings. Like you're in a fish bowl.

Exactly what I think when I see such design ideas. Not cozy at all. I’ve seen whole homes painted black or gray inside and out. Yikes! Instant depression.

Different aesthetics make different people feel comfortable 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeah....sometimes you just need a comfy house where people sip Merlot with no shoes on.

We have a grey living room with a grey couch and dark blue arm chairs and a dark blue rug, with bright yellow blankets cause half of our family gets cold easily and the other half get hot, so our house is chilly and we just cuddle in blankets, we also have a lot of natural lighting and white shelves with Harry Potter Lego collections people don’t like grey homes but I love them because blankets and furniture can be any color and all the models seem brighter, it also makes it really easy to decorate for any season and be really festive because it goes with the walls

My biggest "hate" is stainless steel countertops. Reminds me of an autopsy table.

Or the way those renovation companies come in and do the EXACT SAME treatment to every house they buy. I hate it. Paint the walls beige, the trim white, replace all the floors with vinyl planks that mimic wood. Blah bland boring. But who cares, we're just tenants anyway.

I have something like that but Metallic Fineline from Egger and concrete and i love it! And I love brutalism...

I believe a home should be warm, cosy and welcoming. None of the above colours are that. White is cold and sterile, grey is incredibly depressing.

I kinda like the minimalist, stream-lined look. Add people, food, drink, dishes and such, it'll feel pretty warm.

I love grey. If I could make everything in my house grey I would be ecstatic. Grey, green, brown and black.

A life lesson I’ve learned….Don’t get stainless steel appliances when you have a house full of kids, unless you enjoy wiping handprints off said appliances 50 times a day and buffing away the streaks when they try to clean their own handprints off.

Is this a modern public toilet? Because I want go there and stay in as much as to the automated public WC. And it looks very similar.

My inner neat freak actually feels calm in spaces like that, but I do understand that most people like warmth and organic curves

This has been the trend in Australia for ages. White, black, grey, brown, sterile boxy spaces. Bleh.

Some a*****e built my kitchen without drawers - I just moved in and am ready to gtfo

Where else am I supposed to make abominations unto god and man? Rent a laboratory? In this economy?????

Great foundation for a bar-themed kitchen. I don't cook, I make drinks. Cheers

I love modern homes. Don’t get me wrong, but I want it to be comfortable. I just wish that they would use the right color distribution. I would refuse to sacrifice my comfort if the colors aren’t distributed evenly across the entire home.

Very sterile.....ick!!😖😖

And if like the photo went over budget and can only afford 2 of the 3 bulbs needed

Sonw people are weird, I suppose

How do you relax and feel comfortable in a house like this? By living the fantasy, darlings! Put on your hand sewn, floor length, brocade house coat and have your hot pool boy (husband, partner, imaginary friend, overly friendly neighbor) make you a fancy a$$ cocktail (just add bubbly water), and lounge, darling, lounge! Or just keep scrolling. Repeat daily.

The next '70s ugh.

I kind of agree with this because I do like the modern look, however, I wouldn't feel safe going to a black kitchen at night. It would scare me a lot.

The example in the photo looks more like a bar in a trendy night club.

This is always my first thought. I could never be comfy in one of these houses and I would sure never pay the exorbitant prices to have someone do it on purpose. A house should be comfortable and a place to relax.

Well the kitchen in the picture is a little grey but it's much nicer than my current kitchen.

It is soulless.

Hate it. With a passion.

Well, in my drought stricken California, it's better than real grass. But I agree, it's ugly and soulless. I'd rather see low water landscaping than AstroTurf.

ugh, this exactly. i love my home, but i’ve always wished there were a *few* more walls.. the common area is too open but my bedroom is too lonely- so i just sit with my headphones on
