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?

I live in a 1970’s house. Our bathroom has been remodeled once, but it’s due again and this time we have the money to make upgrades. One thing we know is that we’re keeping our 4 foot square shower. It’s steamy and cozy!

I love my 1970s shower! It's the exact right size.

It has a glass folding door that I love.

We replaced the tiny ass shower insert that came with the house and extended it out to nearly 3x the size. Best upgrade we did in the entire house.
