Cozy as all hell though. Better than the drab gray cookie-cutter-prison aesthetic for sure.

Bring back carpet, earth tones, and separated rooms please 😭 I want a good hidey hole to curl up in.

Cozy but hard as hell to clean. The patterns are meant to make that not particularly obvious until it gets really bad, but if dust is a health concern it gets to be a bit much.

For a while the fashion was shag carpet with a random splotchy pattern in earth tones. Yes, it did a good job of hiding the dirt, but it was too good at that. I can remember hearing the cat throw up in the other room, going in to clean it up and not being able to find it until, after searching for ages, stepping in it.

No, we must open-concept everything! That way, when people come over, you have to clean one giant room (instead of just whatever small rooms people are likely to be in.)

I wish I could just tidy up the living room without needing to tidy up the kitchen and the computer room, but with my apartment floor plan the only inside doors I have are for the bedroom and the bathroom. So all the excess crap I have no space for gets shoved into the bedroom, every time.

I’m good with bringing back all of it. Except carpet. Carpet needs stay away.

Why? It muffles sound and is much nicer to walk across. Extra layer of insulation on the floor too.

Because no matter how much you clean it, it is intensely more disgusting than tile/faux-wood/wood floors ever will be.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Its the floor. You walk on it, not eat your dinner off it.

Right, and since my feet are arguably at least as important to me as my mouth, I would prefer to contact cleaner surfaces.

I used to live in a house that had multiple layers of carpet ... in the bathroom. It was somehow even more disgusting than you would imagine.

It just needs a white sparingly patterned rug under the couch for contrast

Bring back the '70s babes with it like Joyce DeWitt or Jan Smithers.

Having one room like this is enough tbh. I love my concrete walls and ceramic tile.

I don't want to live in a parking garage

I don't want to live in an allergen trap.

It’s manufacturing shades, beige and grey. Color costs extra in the age of squeezing working class out of anything but the daily grind. You’ll have a colorless domicile you do not own and you’ll like it.
