We scanned through social media to get an idea of what aspects of kitchen design are getting the most hate right now, and you can check out our findings below.

"In 2025, the iconic house used in the beloved holiday movie "Home Alone" (1990) went up for sale, and people were angry. The warm, colorful, busy aesthetic was gone, and in its place, everything was white - including the kitchen. The once eclectic mix of red, blue, and loud patterns had been covered in white paint, save for a few dark wooden cabinets."
Kitchens function as both practical workspaces for food preparation and central gathering spots, where snacks and daily routines unfold. Remodeling decisions balance utility and aesthetics, with some homeowners prioritizing timeless looks while others favor personal expression. Social media users have voiced strong dislike for several popular kitchen elements, singling out specific shelving styles and monochrome palettes. Online reactions to an all-white renovation of a famous house sparked anger, with many calling the result depressing, soulless, and devoid of personality. Designers continue to describe all-white kitchens as classic and timeless, but public sentiment reveals fatigue with overly uniform, colorless designs.
