One trend I’ve never been able to get around is Boucle fabric - why people would choose to purchase a couch/chair/bedhead that looks balled and pilly is beyond me.

[dawert]

Hearing “Anthropologie” and “cheap” in the same sentence made my broke heart break

[richardwilhorst]

Ive got a banner in my kitchen that says "everything sucks, happy birthday" with a googly eyed shark. Pinnacle of style, hire me lol

[NicoleAZ]

Color block curtains, blergh! They remind me of hospital curtains, the ones they pull around the beds for privacy. I don’t need a reminder of that in my home, thank you.

[ShebaCan]

Agree with you on color block curtains. Reminds me more of a shower curtain look.

[connied]

Monetizing something you love doing doesn't count as lazy in my book. I'll bet you spend over 60 hours weekly on doing this and I'm so glad you do. I get excited over every thumbnail 😂

[krhode]

I’d love to hear your thoughts on architectural trends. Personally, I detest luxury homes with grossly oversized, vaulted open spaces that look and feel more like office lobbies than livable spaces. They may be fine when you’re having 20 people over and want to impress, but what about every other day? No one should eat alone at a kitchen island designed for 10.

[shanetn.]

I'm so glad someone said something about the Blobs and the Flintstone chic resin tables. These definitely won't age well.

[LovethosePNWVibes]

When you said marble coffin, I figured out why I hate it so much. You’re absolutely right. It looks like a mausoleum.

[WhatsBliss]

One positive of cork (and the reason my parents had it in our home growing up) is that it's softer than traditional hardwoods. While that makes makes it less durable, it also makes it less noisy, less hard on your feet, and slightly safer for little kids who are more likely to fall and hit the floor hard during play. It's also more insulating, so the floor never gets as cold. Totally get why someone wouldn't want it, but I also get the appeal.

I also hate the one material bathroom, but it looks _even worse_ when people attempt it in small spaces. It gets so overwhelming!

[suecampbell]

I have stone and tile in my bathroom - for aesthetics AND the ability to SEE where the counter is, where the shower stall is, where the tub is, etc. If I had a one stone bathroom, I'd be FEELING THE WALLS to figure out where the hell I was! How do they do it Nick? No one ever talks about THAT!

[cmt]

Cork tile in the kitchen is something that I always wanted. A friend of mine had them in his family's home from the 1940s his grand father installed them they were black and cream checkered and they always looked great. His aunt loved them for the durability, quiet and she always said that they had a "cushiony" feel on her feet. The house is sold but the new owners love them too.

[annmoore]

Speaking as a parent, I see cork on things, and I immediately think of all the ways my children would destroy it. Picking it out, stabbing it with various objects, scraping designs into it… yeah. Hard pass. 😂

[nessathedingus]

what you said about cork- I feel that way about unfinished plywood! Our first apartment was absolutely beautiful. A loft from a converted elementary school. But in the living room, the nook where a TV would be, was made up of unfinished plywood walls. I understand where they were coming from, the whole apartment was rustic/industrial, but it just gave me the ick. The exposed brick made sense, but unfinished plywood crosses the line.

[AlexHider]

Yeah I’m with you on blobs. I don’t want a Chicago bean in my house.

[dorym]

I wholeheartedly agree on the “one material” bathroom. They give me vertigo.

[GoogleUser-wxmw]

I don't follow trends, but I do follow you on YT, Nick. Also, I don't think of you as lazy because you always show us amazing examples of what you are describing. Happy Holidays!

[sarahlacorte]

I feel like the resin tables are tied into the mushroom theme we saw this year in a more subtle way. They definitely mimic mushroom shapes and textures, but they are trying to be more elevated, so I think subconsciously that is why Nick is repelled by them. I also feel a sort of Kim K/mausoleum house vibe from them; they feel a bit cold to me, even if they are trying to achieve an organic vibe.

[marylhere]

Those curtains look like something my grandmother did to my mother’s winter coat sleeves and hem when she had a growth spurt. Although my talented granny would make them more flame like….to get an extra year or two out of a coat that she also probably constructed.
