5. Too big for me. And they all look eerily like the final scene of '2001'.

I would feel a little haunted by that much space. It's weird.

There's a syndrome associated with bedrooms that are too large -- some humans get insomnia from it, and have to built a bedroom-within-a-bedroom. Some kind of nesting/burrowing routine.

I think there's also a syndrome for design that is too clean and elegant. Really, I would feel out-of-place in that element. Like living in a corporate conference room.

I don't think I'm cut out for that kind of ostentatious display, either. I would feel immediately guilty. Seems wrong somehow.

Apparently I'd make a bad rich person.
