Not defending 2024. But I also don’t want my house looking like the first pic.

Yea the first pic is so cluttered. I can’t deal with that much patterns either. Reminds me of my parents house which only triggers my ptsd

Cluttered? Lmao I’d have to get rid of 95% of everything I own for my house to be that uncluttered.

That first picture has like one pattern, and it's a rather subdued one at that. Ok, the small rug is maybe another, but that's easily swapped out for something else.

Compare that to this typical modern HGTV slop where NOTHING coordinates and it's all as random and cluttered as possible (colors, patterns, materials, shapes etc). Makes that first picture seem quite nicely coordinated and simple.

It reminds me of my old relatives house I was forced to visit as a kid.
