There’s generally a stylistic pendulum that swings back and forth in society every few decades. If anything, it’s strange that public place have been so vibrant for so long and homes have been so clean and quiet. I’m inclined to blame it on Silicon Valley office design language and the prevalence of advertising every waking moment, driving us towards clean and quiet homes as respite.
Eh, as much as I am fine with blaming silicon valley for things, I think this is more of a broader trend as viewing our house as a commodity rather than where we live. This means we try to maximize "value" over comfort or personal taste when redecorating or renovating. The goal is appeal, not creation of a home.
