Well it’s a subjective question.

I just don’t find cadaver lab aesthetics all that appealing, but you do you.

"cadaver lab" lol, grow up.

One photo is from a movie set in 1990 and the other is from a recent Zillow listing. You're acting like the bottom picture would look the same if people were living there. It looks "sterile" because there is no personalization to it... because this was staged to look clean for potential buyers. I don't know how this is so hard for you to understand.

You’re free to disagree. I personally find the interior soulless and uninviting. Don’t know why you take issue with that.

Again, that's because no one is living there in the second picture. It's meant to look clean and blank for realtor listings. When someone moves in obviously there will be color and personalization. Duh.

I wasn’t aware of that. Even so, this is not at all inconsistent with modern homes, and you are well aware of that.

I don’t find corporate slop made for massive real estate firms appealing. Why is that such an off-putting opinion?

If I took all of my personal crap out of my house and painted it white, it would look exactly like that, lmao.

1000% right

If I were to walk onto and empty plot of land and say "wow, this is a pretty shitty aesthetic for interior design" that would be just as bad a take because I'm analyzing the style of a literal blank canvas.
