I find that there's often something very subtle in Bauhaus design that can make things awful very quickly. Sometimes I see 'Bauhaus' style things and I think they're incredible, but then very slight variations of that same thing immediately look ghastly to me, but I can never quite put my finger on what it is. I think there's a certain kind of purity required in the design to make sure the simple look works. I think this is also why Bauhaus design often ages terrible. Immaculate plaster walls can look nice, but the second they age, get weathered or develop a 'patina' they look awful.
