For those of you who enjoy home improvement shows, or who dabble in interior design, what trends do you like, and which ones do you dislike?

I enjoy watching the home improvement, and house hunting shows on HGTV. One of my relatives is a real estate agent and I’ve been to many listings with her and I really enjoy looking at homes.

There are some things that I love: shaker style cabinets, quartz counter tops, glass tile back splashes, and Matte Grey Rectangular Bathroom Floor Tiles

There are also some things that I don’t care for: anything in a hounds-tooth pattern, wall paper, Painted Kitchen Cabinets (except for white) and Waterful Edge Islands, and parquet flooring.

What are the design elements that you like, and some that you dislike? Links would be helpful.
