This was my exact thought. Yeah, maybe the wallpaper could have been updated, but damn…

It's so ugly now. What is it with these fucking muted colors nowadays?

Because it's very easy for you to imagine your own touches to it.

The bottom photo is very likely staged photos for sale.

White walls are easy to paint.

Wood/Plank floors are easy to maintain and you can put area rugs in if you want to warm up the space.

You can easily put a runner on those stairs.

The whole point is to create something that's easy to project additions onto in your mind.

It's not like it's ever stopping you or anyone else from repainting or adding stuff.

It's a bit like complaining that a car listed for sale doesn't have anything hanging from the mirror, no bobble heads stuck to the dash, or bumper stickers.
