Living rooms for me. That's where most of my households' activity happens, and it's where most of the random easels, pianos, etc. get added as the household earns more money. I like having it look like a normal family's house, not perfectly decorated, but vibrant and fun.
I love the kitchens with the washer/dryer included in some cases, different shapes with the auto counter off, really enjoy seeing what kind of arrangement looks best. Since all my houses are open floor plans, like CK I usually have living/dining/kitchen combo with the only rooms being the bedrooms and baths. I can honestly say I love decorating much more than landscaping...gah!
In my house, dog hair sticks to everything but the dog.
I like bedrooms, it's fun to show my sims' personalities in them. I like doing kid's and teen's bedrooms the best, it's fun to use a lot of bright colors and clutter items.
I feel like the kitchen/dining room is my favorite room to flesh out in my builds because it's usually the room that I renovate first when I save up enough money to make my sims' houses look better. I finish decorating it and I find that it's usually the room that I base the other rooms' styles mostly off of.
Seems I enjoy decorating entire apartments. I am in the process of renovating all, or at least nearly all, of San Myshuno....I think what makes apartments so fun for me is that I can concentrate on the interior decorating, and making a fairly small space personal to each Sim/family.
I totally agree! In my previous save, San Myshuno was my main focus, and I redesigned most of the apartments, sometimes just decorating the rooms, but sometimes tearing down all the walls and coming up with a much better layout. Like you, I found it fun to personalize a small space, and I liked the challenge of fitting everything in.
All of the above except for living rooms! I redecorate the interiors of gallery and Maxis houses a lot, so I've found joy in decorating every room... except the living room. I don't know why but I can never figure out where to put anything in it!
That's so funny! When I need inspiration, I'll just use google images to find something cool about a room I want to recreate, and the I'll build around that. It's fun to look up different styles of interior decor, depending on who the family is. Maybe that will help you the next time you're stuck on a living room?
I like kitchens because there is a ton of kitchen clutter to use, and I have fun with odd shapes and nooks for all kinds of things. I can go rustic, modern, victorian, it's no wonder they're my favorite room.
I like bedrooms, especially kids’ rooms, because they have the most personality. I often further personalize them by adding things like birth certificates, collectibles, selfies, and school projects.
The twin children in one of my families had a snowglobe collection that their mom got for the, one at a time, by rummaging through boxes in San Myshuno. It was a really nice touch to the room. I never thought of personalizing with school projects. That's such a good idea!
Mainly because I like decorating the kitchen but I like landscaping more. I find terrain painting to be sort of relaxing in a weird way.
That's so funny because terrain painting stresses me out. I can never quite get it to look right or to look the way I want it. I know it's pretty basic, but for some reason, I have a problem with it, LOL. I try to do it as little as possible.

As much as I loved doing front and back yards before, I love it even more now with all the debug objects. There’s so much more room for creativity now and the objects costing nothing sure helps.
It's a tough answer, I had to think for a moment. I guess I do spent a lot of time decorating bedrooms because it's the room where I want to spend my personal time with, and it's room where I can relax and get my privacy. So yes, depends on the sim's personality, I match what they have for their bedroom.
It was a difficult question 🙂 I had to answer kitchen/dining because irl I love to cook so it makes me happy. Next would have to be a study/library/living area.
I really suck at decorating. I end up cramming everything I need into wherever it will fit. In the past I was always leery if driving the lot value up because of bills. I don’t like to use money cheats because I have in the past and the game got real boring really fast. My outside spaces end up looking like some kind of hillbilly sideshow with stuff strewn here and there. With the off the grid no bills thing I may start experimenting with actually designing a space how I would ideally want it to look.

Yes! That's exactly how I feel!

Wow! Your kitchens are amazing! I love your use of clutter--makes it look so real.

Your builds are so beyond incredible! I can't get over how cool that is!
Your irl office is so pretty and interesting. You should try recreating it in the sims when you have more time to play. Also, your cat is adorable.

That's very kind of you to say. Thank you!
Edited to add: I really like your tip about the shelf on the wainscoting. I'll really have to try it sometime.
