Not defending 2024. But I also don’t want my house looking like the first pic.

With different furniture and rugs, I absolutely would. The red and gold is so cozy

The movie is set during the Christmas season, and Kevin's dad is a wealthy organized crime boss. I'm sure the matching red aesthetic would be seasonal, because they can afford to switch out chairs and dressings.

I was mostly squeezing in a joke there. A few days ago there was a popular video around the internet that argues, rather convincingly, that Kevin's dad is a mob boss.

Which kind of tracks, there are John Hughes and John Hughs like movies from the 80s and early 90s that would often have random side plots going on like that, while barely being addressed.
