“More money than taste”
Some people have millions to spend on decoration, but they don’t really know how to make it look good. They may have seen a few pictures of a fantasy palace in a movie, but that’s about it.

I would have hired an interior designer and an artist to design the place according to some of my broad guidelines. I may have a general idea of what I like, but I would leave the details to professionals who know what they are doing.

Gaudy or ostentatious maybe?

I like the blue and gold couch in the theoretical sense as a focal point for a less busy room. Busy maybe as well to describe the style?

Maximalist

Garrish and/or Demented, in the dementia sense of demented.

This really is just the modern equivalent of a Pharaoh's tomb, as if they can take all of stupid tchotchskes with them, into the afterlife.

Faux feudal lord

Sheer opulence.

At first I didn't think it was that bad, like ok its ritzy and pompous af. But one of the bedroom photos started giving me vertigo... every surface of these rooms is filled with repeating textures and clashing colors, and enough busts to make OnlyFans feel jealous.

Imagine having a hangover and looking at that ceiling. My head hurts just thinking about it.

The 1880s

Cocaine was definitely involved

Some of it might make sense if it was an older, historic home, but this was built in 2002!

it's entirely possible somebody decanted their Scope.

Some mouthwashes do contain alcohol, although the Curaçao would be preferable.

That could just be Listerine, but the owner probably does just chug it every morning.

They just have to find the one guy that is a massive Michigan football stan, absolutely tasteless, who recently came into much more money than they know what to do with

For a penthouse in downtown? It's steep, but not entirely out of the question. There's a nearby 2200sqft unit that sold for about $900/sqft, so $1400/sqft for a massive penthouse isn't unbelievable. I doubt they'll quite get that, but wouldn't be shocked if it sells for over $5mil.

Ann Arbor is crazy expensive for the region...

You know one of those necks flip open to reveal a button that leads you to an even busier room

The idea of villains being high-modernist minimalists is largely a product of Ian Fleming‘s biases against modernist architecture (he even named a villain after the architect Ernő Goldfinger).
