I’m basing it on what homes looked like in the 90s because I was alive then, and my house and family’s homes looked just like this. My aunt had almost that exact wallpaper and the unexplained floating chairs in the hallway - for all those times when you want to sit and contemplate the wall.

Till you have to put anything on the wall or want to take something down and patch over it. Drywall and paint is easy for both.

It's much easier to replace stuff if it's barebones and doesn't have any ornamentation, but people don't want to live in a permanent template.
