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.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.

Meanwhile millennial having everything greyscale, definitely not going to be a sign of the times lol

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.

Iām good with bringing back all of it. Except carpet. Carpet needs stay away.
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

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

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 It was a style that felt outdated even before I knew what "outdated" even meant.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.

I don't want to live in an allergen trap.

We had it in a kitchen.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I visited Konopiste castle in the Czech Republic that had a moat with a bear living in it. Inside, most of the place was covered in beautiful walnut. Hand carved patterning, and filigree. It was actually beautiful. And the ceilings were like 20 feet tall. A bunch of animal busts, linens, and furs. They even had the real white and blue fine China that Boomers are so obsessed with.
I remember thinking as I walked through there: "Wow, this is what it's supposed to look like"
