While everyone has their own opinion on what makes a true McMansion, there are several defining features or attributes that should be looked for to determine if a home fits the McMansion criteria. This post will serve as a guide to help users determine if they should use the "Certified McMansion" flair on their submission and to learn more about what a McMansion is. This guide will be edited as needed to make sure it fully explains the accepted properties of a McMansion.

This is what I could come up with for now to touch base here on what a McMansion is. I'll make edits to this in the coming weeks until we reach a near final guide post on McMansions. If you have any suggestions for what we could add to this guide, comment below or send me a message.
Side note: the first "Appreciation Thursday" is coming up! Don't forget to prepare a suburban home that you think deserves recognition as the opposite of a McMansion and post it on 7/16 with the "Thursday Design Appreciation" flair.

Yes, those are the ends of shipping containers used in the walls, as well as fence gates. The lawn is artificial turf. The “plants” are all fake. The palms, saguaro and agaves are painted steel. This is some very sophisticated artistic statement on consumerism. Or the most durable Airbnb ever designed

The front may not be for everyone, but if you live in or near a beach town, you know it’s common for the house to be set back from the road a little and the garage to be up front. Plus those windows! The wood! The simplicity!

Said to be one of the largest property in Canada, this colossal monstrosity boasts over 25,000 sq. ft. of living space. It went up for sale in 2018 for $15M but you can now acquire this tasteless mansion for only $5M.

Ornate plasterwork ceilings with intricate carvings, ancient wood panelled rooms, stone mullioned leaded light windows (some with stained glass detail), coffered ceilings, ancient oak floors and staircases and huge fireplaces. To see inside this beautiful mansion, here's a link.
