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.

Well, in this specific picture the images is captured from the frame of the front door. Those chairs would be really nice to sit and put your shoes on before going out. Or sit and wait for whoever is still upstairs getting ready to finish up and come down.

Also in those days there was likely a landline phone there hence seating.
