15 Terrible Modern Home Design Trends That People Need To Stop Doing

Go as modern as you like, I really don't care, but your number of bathrooms should never exceed the number of bedrooms.

Why do people like to pretend that they don't actually live in their homes? I get the compulsion for organization, but lived-in and messy are two entirely different things.

Kitchen islands are stupid, it's as simple as that. All they do is get in the way and interrupt the flow of the room.

Don't tell me what to do, house — you're not the boss of me!

Said nobody, ever. I mean honestly, who microwaves on the fly and why would you ever need more than one?

Cat people are weird and terrifying — don't let anyone try to tell you anything different. If I saw this in someone's home, I'd run away screaming.

Furthermore, why do they all need to be velvet? A pillow is something you sleep on, not a decorative item.

It's not only uncomfortable but an eyesore as well.

I don't know what this is, but your bed shouldn't look like anything other than a bed and certainly not a pair of stinky feet.

Have you ever longed to look up at a ceiling of guns? Neither have I. All I can say is that I hope none of these are loaded.

I understand that the population in major metropolitan areas has been on the rise in recent years, but can we stop it with the god-ugly buildings and cramming people in like sardines?

OK, I hear where you're coming from, but let's not take things too far. A bluetooth speaker would work just as well.

Are you so lazy that you can't bring your pots to the sink for filling? Not even the great Gordon Ramsay needs a pot filler in his kitchen.

Call me crazy but a riveted chair with a lion's head doorknocker fastened into the back is just a tad gauche, as far as I'm concerned.
