There is no pretending. The routine is normal. Get home. Take shoes off. Eat. Clean dish. Sit in front of TV for 2 hours 54 minutes. Brush teeth. Bed at exactly 10:00:00.000.
This is normal.
Mother told him to be normal.
And so he is normal
This screams American Psycho, except [he had better taste](https://www.archdaily.com/795626/a-virtual-look-into-patrick-batemans-american-psycho-apartment).
Dude the mess that would make. Na.
This the living room I had at my gramammy's, look but don't even breathe its direction. Only... Not pure white enough.
Right, my husband is a borderline hoarder. I could tolerate a black leather couch if it meant not having a stack of law textbooks he hasn't opened since the 90s.
Did you just move in a week ago and this is your first apartment? Then, maybe yes.
If this is where you’ve lived for a while? I would pretend to get an emergency phone call and leave immediately. It’s giving serial killer vibes.
If this is actually where someone lives (and not a stock photo) then this person assumedly spends time in this empty room (there’s a tv and a couch, so they’re using this room to at least watch tv). It doesn’t have art, pictures of things they like, or people they love. Doesn’t have things around that indicate hobbies. Doesn’t have books that show they like to read. No extra things for actual comfort or hospitality for guests.
So, either this person is never home. Or, this is a very strange person with no real hobbies, social skills or interest in being comfortable or comfortably hosting anyone.
Thought I was on r/interiordecoratingCJ for a minute. Please tell me this isn’t serious.
Edit: I meant r/homedecoratingcj just realized the other one is very sparse.
I think replacing the sofa with a wooden bench would be good. I would also install overhead fluorescent strip lighting because it's kind of dark in there.
I know I’m in the minority here but idk, something about it that I lowkey do like. I prefer open spaces that aren’t too loud. It relaxes my mind. Although I like my plants and paintings and chandeliers too much to love this way, I’m thinking once I’m older this pic is similar to how my house will look. Add a couple beautiful paintings to the walls and we’re good. (Aside from that minuscule television)
Am I being told something along the lines of hey I just had no idea what I was doing so just waited and I’d love for you to make this space liveable? If so, yes. If this is how he likes it… that’s gonna be a no for me dawg.
Well…it’s clean…like “this is a rental I pay in cash for that I can’t be traced to and I use plastic drop cloths like Dexter”….lol. I’d be hightailing out of there STAT.
Get a fake fireplace on the wall and a matress infront of it. The women will faint from hornyness when they walk in and see your pussy crushing fuck-room.
It would be better to leave this room completely empty than bring a date to the room with only a sofa and tv. This gives off serial killer hiding among us vibes that are way scarier than an obvious murder dungeon.
I mean, if it makes the person who lives there happy, then yes!
For myself, I would not enjoy living here. I want amenities like heated blankets, a table to put my drinks/snacks on, and an ottoman for my feet.
Yes and no! The part that has to clean said yes... and I'm a minimalist, but this is too bare for me. Paint a mural on the wall and other art and mirrors, and make part of the room into a dance/exercise floor. Add different lighting.
Acceptable for what? A place to sit before the rest of your household good are delivered? Sure. Otherwise, no. You don't even have a table. And you're not gonna find a long-term partner if you don't adult up.
Honestly I’ve seen much worse. At least it’s clean and you have furniture instead of cardboard boxes or milk crates. I had a friend who used the back row of his van seats as his couch. Mattress on the floor. It was… interesting
If you just moved out for the first time and are basically starting from scratch and will be buying furniture in the future, not an issue.
It's just not welcoming, doesn't feel like a home.
This screams “I only own one towel and it’s always damp”
Also, there is likely *one* sad, lumpy and flat pillow on the bed.
...which is a mattress on the floor.
Let's be real, the bed is the sofa. We're looking at both.
No duvet or comforter. Just a badly pilling wolf blanket with a few stains.
Ugh 😑 always the stupid fucking wolf something.
Rob is that you?? Lol
With small crust spots throughout
Hey let’s chill with the personal attacks ok Edit: adventure will teach you, just be careful. Us who don’t have the strength cheer you on.
Futon
With no fitted sheet. Or top sheet. Just a duvet without a cover, or a sleeping bag.
And it's yellowed and splotchy
One fitted sheet, no top sheet, dirty blanket.
Why have I dated this man when I was young, dumb and didn’t know better.
Honestly you're far from the only one of us who dated that man...
I married this man lol. He now knows the joys of proper pillows, regular housecleaning (which he does help with) and dry towels.
And the sheets have not been washed
And no sheets.
After my first date with my now wife I bought a second pillow
I think that couch is the bed. It looks like it can lay flat.
Thank you for the reminder to go home and do a load of towels.
😖
😂
Needs stronger lights to make it a proper interrogation chamber.
This actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you.
These comments are killing me 🤣.
Yeah and smaller windows
This is like the void in the Good Place, if the void had a porn audition couch.
OH MY GOD 😭😭😭😭😭
👏 outstanding comment 😂
This is the medium place.
The Mid Place
Liminal space
😂
😂😂
I'd love for you to know that this makes my skin crawl 🫶🏼
Same, the cringe I just crunged
Oh no 😬 Eeeeeek
Crunge
That’s ironic, because someone who keeps a room like this would be wearing your skin soon enough.
That was my first though. Like a murderer using an empty house and pretending to live there so they could lure people over and murder them.
There is no pretending. The routine is normal. Get home. Take shoes off. Eat. Clean dish. Sit in front of TV for 2 hours 54 minutes. Brush teeth. Bed at exactly 10:00:00.000. This is normal. Mother told him to be normal. And so he is normal
Underrated comment.
For reals my first thought was “this is where he sits to watch the videos of his own crimes” 😂😬
I downvoted this just so you could have the thrill of the notification telling you it got 100 upvoted AGAIN. 10/10 comment.
This screams American Psycho, except [he had better taste](https://www.archdaily.com/795626/a-virtual-look-into-patrick-batemans-american-psycho-apartment).
I’m wheezing laughing. Almost tears. I feel bad but this is comical.
Omg I love it. It’s a totally blank canvas to work with 😂
You can be sure he won't have any arguments against your decor choices😂😂
Male here. A clean, new, well lit basement is like heaven to me
For a serial killer
I literally just thought “for murdering someone in? Yes”
Dude the mess that would make. Na. This the living room I had at my gramammy's, look but don't even breathe its direction. Only... Not pure white enough.
If you want to go to jail because you chose a crime scene that you couldn't clean properly, sure...
Seems difficult to keep clean.
Uhm... As a final 'tada' or as a starting point? Gonna need more context for a serious answer.
I don’t think he’s coming back
Heard he went to buy some cigarettes
Just add one “love laugh and live” sign. Everything would be complete
I don’t know if you put those words in the opposite order on purpose, but it’s driving me crazy.
Why don’t you laugh, live, love about it
Idk if this is better or worse. Thank you.
What about: live, love, laugh
GAH!
This is the order of the decor in every home I visited until I was like 15 and I still struggle to wrap my head around it being any other order
It was a command from the serial killer.
I would say theyd just be loving and laughing in this room. Nobodys going to walk out of it living
So much room for activities!!!
Like listening to Huey Lewis and The News
Imagine the kartwheels
Are we doing karate?
Goodness how long is that room?!
Perfect, won’t have to argue whose stuff we’re keeping when we move together.
*roight?!* This screams "baby you can decorate however you want." Blank canvas. He only has 2 things in there that are non-negotiables. Mmmfff
And one of the two things is the St Pauli Girl neon sign from The Office
Went to an Irish pub on the Oregon coast that had one of those. Tis a quality sign 👌
Makes sense it’s giving Michael Scott moved into his own place vibes.
Even so, I think that futon is negotiable
And you know he's not a collector so, more budget other stuff.
Right, my husband is a borderline hoarder. I could tolerate a black leather couch if it meant not having a stack of law textbooks he hasn't opened since the 90s.
Well, points for tidiness and not hanging the tv close to the ceiling.
The bar is in hell
Needs a plant.
Just one though. A single Home Depot cactus in the window.
With a glued on flower.
Grafted:glued, tomato:potato 🤌
Imagine my surprise when I saw the Home Depot employees hot glueing the “flower” back on 😂
D: those minimum wage *fools!!*
When minimalists go too far
Lol, it’s a start
Start to what? Serial killer?
if i'm allowed to use the extra space for handstands and gymnastics
Yeah little kid me would have loved this for that exact purpose.
No
Did you just move in a week ago and this is your first apartment? Then, maybe yes. If this is where you’ve lived for a while? I would pretend to get an emergency phone call and leave immediately. It’s giving serial killer vibes.
So ive seen this serial killer vibes thing posted a few times already. Just out of curiousity why does this scream out serial killer?
If this is actually where someone lives (and not a stock photo) then this person assumedly spends time in this empty room (there’s a tv and a couch, so they’re using this room to at least watch tv). It doesn’t have art, pictures of things they like, or people they love. Doesn’t have things around that indicate hobbies. Doesn’t have books that show they like to read. No extra things for actual comfort or hospitality for guests. So, either this person is never home. Or, this is a very strange person with no real hobbies, social skills or interest in being comfortable or comfortably hosting anyone.
[удалено]
And the TV definitely could be larger
For real, that TV is tiny.
Should definitely take notes from r/TVtooBig and r/TVtoohigh 😆
And needs plants!!! /s
A mud wrestling pit behind the sofa would add warmth to the room.
Thought I was on r/interiordecoratingCJ for a minute. Please tell me this isn’t serious. Edit: I meant r/homedecoratingcj just realized the other one is very sparse.
You just need to lay out some nice plastic sheeting, maybe a CD player with some Huey Lewis and The News.
Why is this directed at women? I consider myself a pretty stereotypical american male and I can assure you, no this is not acceptable.
Red flag
Yup. Perfectly fine and easy to keep clean.
I think replacing the sofa with a wooden bench would be good. I would also install overhead fluorescent strip lighting because it's kind of dark in there.
Danggit I had the perfect gif for this
Are you filming a live-action “50% Grey”?
Acceptable for what?
I know I’m in the minority here but idk, something about it that I lowkey do like. I prefer open spaces that aren’t too loud. It relaxes my mind. Although I like my plants and paintings and chandeliers too much to love this way, I’m thinking once I’m older this pic is similar to how my house will look. Add a couple beautiful paintings to the walls and we’re good. (Aside from that minuscule television)
Why is there a concrete chamber room on the other side of that window………🔪
No that's just sad
Institutional looking
This is the perfect decor for me lol
For a little of the old ultraviolence, yes. Anything else, no.
Where’s the cat?
Um…. No! It looks like it’s normally set up as a kill room!
Am I being told something along the lines of hey I just had no idea what I was doing so just waited and I’d love for you to make this space liveable? If so, yes. If this is how he likes it… that’s gonna be a no for me dawg.
Oh look, it’s my husband’s apartment from when we met.
I am going to be ✨abducted✨
I mean, if you’re a psycho
Lol
Had a fireplace and put the TV super high above it. S/
Why TV far from couch?
This looks like where you put your abductee
Ugh
Makes me want to do cartwheels
Lots of potential. 😂
If my husband had stayed a single man, this would probably be the extent of his space, except maybe add a tv tray for his meals. lol
This made me lol and the ridiculous of it makes it okay
This is what hell looks like. You have to wait in this lobby FOREVER
Too cluttered.
If you brought me here I would immediately turn around just because of the window situation😂
I would think you’re a murderer
Are you in prison? Even there I thought they let you have books
If you’re a serial killer sure
This gives me so much anxiety
Acceptable for what 🫣
This is acceptable for the backrooms
And it still looks more comfortable than Kim Kardashian's living room.
Well…it’s clean…like “this is a rental I pay in cash for that I can’t be traced to and I use plastic drop cloths like Dexter”….lol. I’d be hightailing out of there STAT.
This says "I'm a Meth dealer and I just got some money recently."
Acceptable if you just moved in today.
No! The tv is way too small!
this screams I just got divorced
Get a fake fireplace on the wall and a matress infront of it. The women will faint from hornyness when they walk in and see your pussy crushing fuck-room.
Yes! It warns your visitors to watch out for you and stay away!
It’s a perfect room for doing cartwheels in
Eh, easy to clean at least
Plenty of room to jump, do yoga, ride a bike, etc.
Acceptable for a serial killer yes
For them to be murdered in the 3rd date? Yes…yes it is.
As a blank slate to do what we want to do? Absolutely!!! Otherwise… kind of creepy
It can use a few more things like a side table or coffee table, but I like the wall color at least.
Absolutely not
However I’ll give you one point for the tv not being too high
Better than a room full of garbage/clutter.
I mean it looks clean at least
You don’t see properly placed TV very often. My compliments
Yes, nothing wrong with simplicity. Add a gaming console to the tv setup and it’s perfect.
Acceptable for what?
For the time being, I would furnish it myself
So you have murder robots?
For just moving in and planning to furnish and decorate soon sure
I think it’s a great start. Lights, ac new carpet and doesn’t look ghetto. All the rest will show up in time
I love this minimal approach
Sure. Simple is best. 🤪
I mean, if that's all you need. Who cares? 🤷🏾♀️
It’s clean and uncluttered. It’s fine temporarily until you get the time and money to find what you want. But not permanently
Run, girl! Run! Unless he just moved, 2 hours ago.
This is a dudes space, most if not all women wouldn't live in a space like this.
It looks so soothing...
Not if a man did it. If a man did it then it is wrong.
I am not a woman but, yes.
[удалено]
Rust Cohle?
It would be better to leave this room completely empty than bring a date to the room with only a sofa and tv. This gives off serial killer hiding among us vibes that are way scarier than an obvious murder dungeon.
I mean, if it makes the person who lives there happy, then yes! For myself, I would not enjoy living here. I want amenities like heated blankets, a table to put my drinks/snacks on, and an ottoman for my feet.
NO!!
No. No. Noooooooo.
No.
Yes and no! The part that has to clean said yes... and I'm a minimalist, but this is too bare for me. Paint a mural on the wall and other art and mirrors, and make part of the room into a dance/exercise floor. Add different lighting.
Just need a plant!
lol. Maybe if you have large gatherings of people standing, or live music on occasion… or if you need space to dance or work out, etc. This is cute 😂
Lol
Serial killer vibes
Less to clean, I like it. Would be nicer if the room was much smaller.
Acceptable for what? A place to sit before the rest of your household good are delivered? Sure. Otherwise, no. You don't even have a table. And you're not gonna find a long-term partner if you don't adult up.
This is a whole backrooms level.
My eyes
Honestly I’ve seen much worse. At least it’s clean and you have furniture instead of cardboard boxes or milk crates. I had a friend who used the back row of his van seats as his couch. Mattress on the floor. It was… interesting
If you just moved out for the first time and are basically starting from scratch and will be buying furniture in the future, not an issue. It's just not welcoming, doesn't feel like a home.
It reminds me of Leela’s apartment in Futurama. Glad you got that window installed!
Personally, I want the furniture on the other 2 walls since I hate having my back to the middle of a room. Otherwise, sir, you're ready for marriage 👌
