Stop putting huge fireplaces in the living room! I'm not hanging a 75 inch tv. Give me a wall, especially in the South. Fire goes outside!

It’s too austere for me by far. It needs to stop, I agree.

It seems too modern and too much marble for Joanna Gaines however.

Is she really the progenitor of this design? Certainly she likes and sells bright white which I don’t care for too much either.

She seems small potatoes to be credited with starting a whole architectural movement exemplified in that house. Doesn’t she sort of favor melding Farmhouse/Cottage/French Country? Certainly they existed before the Gaines came on the scene.

The house pictured seems more a corrupt carry over from the influences of International Modernism and the Bauhaus crowd. Walter Gropius, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbusier and so forth. Stark, colorless, proletarian except with too many indoor curves and other architectural deviations from the harsh, strictly functional straight and narrow.

Hey! We built our house in 2013 and we resemble that comment.

Light brown/beige complimenting colors are timeless that you can accessorize around to add color. It's a decent color as a canvas.

My house is basically 100% natural light during the day in the living areas. I would need sunglasses to live in that house. I don’t like any kind of artificial lighting. Somehow, I can feel it.

Sterile and displeasing to the eye.

Millenials want to live in a fricking Apple store. It is what it is.

Mies would have at least brought in some warmth. Some great carpets, accent chairs, or wood or textile accents. It takes talent to make a stark, modern space feel like somewhere you want to be. This modern, mass produced BS misses the mark by a mile. It honestly looks like the inside of a Coursey Blvd nail parlor.

Yeah that would drive me insane. The all white kitchen is just wrong.

These houses within 10 years will be absolutely dated.

I don't understand why people think the "hospital" look is appealing at all.
No way. Have any of you heard of paint?

If it’s too sterile, paint the interior. Wild concept, I know.
