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.

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.

My new home was built in the 50s and the biggest take away was "whoa, all the rooms are separate!" It's glorious.

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

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

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.

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