        Well, for starters, a bed frame. Lamps for better lighting, an couple night stands, something to divide up the space a bit (assuming this is a studio), book shelves, some plants, some art on the walls, an area rug, table and chairs, and a couple couches and a coffee table, some kind of speaker system, some kind of storage system for any equipment I own for job and hobbies. I also like wooden desks.

        Like, the environment you spend time in has an impact on your mental state. Making that environment nice will make you feel better. The way your living space looks also says a lot about you. What this space says is “I literally do nothing but sleep and look at a computer screen”. Which is less “hell yeah” and more “this cyberpunk dystopia isnt as neon as I expected.”

        So if this is what you want, then follow your bliss I guess. But also, if you are having trouble dating… Look around you.

    It’s a bit much for me, as I’d want the mattress more elevated, but let me tell you, I am 99% sure I have adhd, and minimalism like this appeals to me so it’s less shit I have take care of, every item in your house is a fucking dust collector that you have to wipe down, fuck that shit, I only want the absolute essentials, rest is slowly going to the bin

    I don’t get why people hate on this. Do all the useless nick-nacks actually add something to their lives?

    If this is all you need, what’s the problem?

      Yes, the knick-knacks are my most prized possessions. Crystal balls, monkey skulls, old clocks—these are the building blocks of my happiness. Nothing brings me more joy than a perfectly arranged curio cabinet. It is like an OCD orgasm.

    It is just missing a cinder block nightstand and a dead plastic plant to tie the place together.

      Dead plastic plant. For when you want everyone to know you are irresponsible, but without the responsibility

    The minimal furniture and a sense of free space are great for my mental health. A cluttered home to me feels like a cluttered mind. I don’t want to live in a cage of excess stuff, much like I don’t want to carry unhealthy mental baggage with me, pulling me down. You may see a sparse room, but I see freedom from sensory fatigue. I see freedom.

      i’ve been getting help these past few weeks cleaning up my room and my god, it’s so nice to just have empty surfaces! It really is like every visible item occupies space in your mind.

      though i feel like explicit decorations don’t really take up space in the same way, provided they’re placed correctly.

    I need three desks. Modern PC desk, retro PC desk, and a soldering desk. Otherwise, perfect.
