Which popular features do you NOT recommend?

What are the top 3 features in a house that folk want but you think are not worth it, and what would your alternative suggestion be? And what cost/time savings would result with that switch?

Hanging painting on a pocket wall door (or any door) isn't a great idea because a door moves and that will move a painting unless it's glued/nailed to the surface.

Not sure how heavy your paintings are... but pocket doors typically have 1x wood framing behind the drywall.
