These days it looks like his apartment in the movie. Boxy and white and stark.

But it used to be colourful and varied like this:



It's strange how this society is going. I do wonder whether it's intentional and designed to dull our senses and emotions.

holy shit im not the only one
YES! I have noticed this as well, they all have the same weird ikea furniture, blockie tables, same weird flover pots and wall decorations of generic prints idk.

This table in particular:

Parsons table - Wikipedia

Is there a name for that? Like, their rooms literally look like ikea rooms look in the commericals.

because everyone is devoid of any morals or soul and their decor and general outward appearance reflects that

Yeah it's crazy right?

For years I thought it was just in big houseshares but then I learned it was everywhere.

I guess it's just... minimalism? With a focus on white for some reason. I guess because it's the most minimalist colour XD

Yeah I think it's concerning especially when you look at how things used to be.

Even in the '90s thing were becoming more "minimalist"/neutral, but it was nowhere near the way it is now.
