Cozy as all hell though. Better than the drab gray cookie-cutter-prison aesthetic for sure.
Bring back carpet, earth tones, and separated rooms please
I want a good hidey hole to curl up in.Iām good with bringing back all of it. Except carpet. Carpet needs stay away.

What a wonderful way to describe that. All you've done is make it even more appealing.

I have lived with that carpet. It was horrible and thin.

I remember looking at estate agent photos of my parents home when they first bought it back in the 1980s. It looked very much like this. I remember when I was very young they had a carpet with a similar sort of dead plant motif, I remember crawling along and following the plant stems.
That's just how everybody seemed to decorate things back then, people used to wear a lot of brown as well. Perhaps we all depressed or something
You got a remember, back then smoking inside was a normal thing to do. There is a color pallet that nicotine stains just sink into without notice. This picture is a prime example of said color pallet.

I want a good hidey hole to curl up in.It just needs a white sparingly patterned rug under the couch for contrast

I want a good hidey hole to curl up in.Having one room like this is enough tbh. I love my concrete walls and ceramic tile.

What's the other way to be poor?
Iām not that person, but Iād say space poor. Even upper middle class people in the middle of densely populated cities are unable to afford large enough homes to have a room like this.

I like dark wood but it does make rooms looks smaller if it is all dark colours
Small is cozy, it doesn't actually make it smaller so it shouldn't matter.

Why? It muffles sound and is much nicer to walk across. Extra layer of insulation on the floor too.

Small can be cozy but small can also be cramped or even oppressing to some. That's why some prefer lighter colours, more natural light/windows and so on.
Matter of taste really

That carpet was my parent's basement rug for the majority of my life. Maybe my standards are low, but I thought it was fine. Not excellent but fine.

Idk, this has more personality to it than the beige nightmare a lot of folks live in. Even if that personality smells like stale cigarettes and Cutty Sark.
Apparently Cutty Sark is a whiskey, which presumably is what you meant, but the first DDG result is a British naval ship which ... Also kinda makes sense?

That 60s one looks awesome
I'm partial to the 50's. They figured out the sleek Nordic cabinet look early - they just painted everything bright colors.

This was an attempt to emulate the rich, wood-paneled, dark, rich luxury of old money.

I don't want to live in a parking garage

The scotch is named after the ship

As a young child, that is exactly how I felt about that style. I knew I really hated it. There was no openness to rooms and everything felt drab. It was a style that felt outdated even before I knew what "outdated" even meant.
The smell is the biggest thing I remember. The wood paneling and those types of carpets always had that smell. Well, it was either that smell or the lingering odor of old cigarette smoke and spilled scotch.
By the time I started becoming truly self-aware, the 90's hit and I was awakened with a blast of neon colors. (My brain doesn't want to remember anything much from the late 80's other than my Velcro shoes and jean jacket.)
Rooms don't need to be open. My parents have an open concept modern home in Texas and it sucks. You can't hear the TV if someone is soing anything in the kitchen, but anyone upstairs hears EVERYTHING that goes on downstairs. Having dedicated spaces for different activities is nice

I think it also somewhat closely matched a lot of the clothing being worn at the time too.
