    Honestly, the Lotion Pit is better interior decorating than modern “is it a home or the surface of the sun oh my god everything is so bland and white” interior design.

    I’m old enough to remember 70s design still being normal and life just felt way cooler.

      Yeah, I can’t stand modern shades of gray. Everyone decorates their house like they’re about to list it for sale. Give me colors! Give me silly pictures, and plants, and nonsense. It’s your home, it doesn’t need to be sterile.

        A friend of mine did every weird thing he could think of when decorating his apartment. Imitation brick wall, colorful shelves, decorative ceiling, built-in plant pots and so on. Now he says he regrets it because it’s hard to maintain (led lights brake, fixing even small damage is really difficult, repainting is impossible) and when you get bored of it and want to change something it’s a huge effort. With cleaner, simpler esthetics you can easily move things around, repaint, add/remove decorations and so on. You can constantly change decorations without things clashing with you colorful walls.
