Small laundry rooms, small pantries, no linen closets, but here’s a 20×20 media room to watch TV. My next house will either be laid out by me or made in the 70s/80s when they designed homes to be lived in.
12.
Hollow interior doors that don’t keep sound out from within the house and hallways – especially hollow bedroom doors when you’re trying to sleep.
13.
No broom closets. Where the hell do people put their mops and vacuum cleaners? Or do the people who buy those McMansions just not do any of their own cleaning?
14.
Gray. Everything gray.
It’s the orange and brown of the 60s, 70s, and 80.
It’s the beige of the 90s and 00s

All of the flat white and concrete is just going to make the houses look dated in about 5 years.
Big concrete squares don’t look good people!
16.
I hate the design of homes that have a massive garage in the front; “welcome to my garage, the home is in the back.”

Why is everything so damn bland? Why is white and grey the popular colors? Whatever happened to color? Why can’t we have living rooms wallpapered with big bright flowers, long suede couches in deep fuchsia? And, mile-high blue carpets that you sink into when you walk? Whatever happened to walnut paneling and colored subway tile in the bathroom? Whatever happened to delicate stenciled flowers on the inside of the bowl of the bathroom sink?
When did we lose our personalities? I just want a house that looks like a manic-depressive toddler version of myself was set lose in a JoAnn’s with a limitless credit card.

No door between the master bedroom and master bathroom. It’s so annoying.
The last 3 houses I’ve lived in have had this issue. I like to be able to close the door when I take a bath or shower.
19.
Not homes, but open plan offices are just cruel.
20.
Bedrooms that are only juuuuust big enough for a double or queen bed and a nightstand.
