Exactly what tastes in decor do Sims have?

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims-2 (More info?)

Almost every time I buy furniture or lights or something for my Sims,
they walk over to it and look at it and groan with displeasure, or
cover their mouths in a way that seems to say "I could just barf from
looking at this." How do I decorate their homes with things that they
are going to like? I try all sorts of beds, lights, chairs, etc., but
they never seem happy with them, although they seem not to care after
their initial reaction.

About the only things they manifestly like are stuff like fancy
refrigerators, pool tables, bookshelves, and other things that they
can do something with.

So what's the secret to coming up with pleasing interior decor for
Sims?

If it costs a lot of money, they like it.
