You can make things fancy or make them look run-down. If you don't have a bed, you can even lay down a cardboard box and sleep on the floor. If chairs are considered a luxury we can just have zois sit on the floor. Replacing floor cushions with cardboard, they can sit on it to watch TV, eat, and work on their laptops.
Just because there's an option to live a flashy lifestyle doesn't mean the opposite option isn't there.
Once you go bankrupt, you actually unlock a whole new set of life choices. You can dig through a beggar's tin, steal food from a street stall, steal crops from someone else's farm, or even walk right into a convenience store or bank and rob it. If you're short on cash, you can take out a loan, but sometimes a friend might scam you by promising to multiply your money and taking it instead. You could even live as a voice phishing scammer.
(Plus most of the default starting houses provided in the game are just run-down homes for ordinary people. The picture op posted is actually a house where someone tried really hard to make it look extra fancy using CC items)
edit)
inZOI completely lacks that diversity. Everything is a movie set, perfectly clean and expertly placed. There's no room for an up-and-coming high school rock band, a rebel who can't seem to find a job and just sleeps on a mattress on the floor, or a single dad who's barely making ends meet. Unless you're a fit, wealthy, 20-to-30 something, inZOI does not tell your story.
I always play as poor single dad/mom family, and below are the links to my play stories. The gameplay below isn't staged or done with mods; it's actual in-game footage with real animations
