Thinking this morning about home aesthetics. Your home is supposed to be this place where you feel very comfortable, but I have the experience of often preferring (and being envious of) the aesthetics of my friends’ homes without knowing why exactly. It’s not novelty. /1

Here is my living room. I very intentionally designed it when I was moving. Whites, blacks, plants, colors. I still need to get an art piece for one wall. /2pic.twitter.com/7eo8yko15y

You would think I would love it having designed it with myself in mind! I think it’s pretty. I like sitting in it. But it doesn’t give me the same sense of warmth that more... cluttered? ...aesthetics provide. It seems like there’s an art to creating warmth I’m missing. /3

I’ve noticed I really enjoy homes where people have a lot of art on the walls, decor on shelves, just a lot of stuff that all comes together. I could just add things that I think would create this and in fact I’ve done that with plants a little bit. /4

I have a friend whose space is smaller and more oddly shaped than mind and she has it COVERED in plants and little objects and I find it warm and inviting the same way I do when friends have lots of pictures on the walls. I tried to emulate it lightly with maybe 15 plants. /5

This was better but still doesn’t seem to be giving me the effect I want. It’s interesting because if I had her space I would probably not have been able to make it feel as warm. My living spaces tend to provoke a sense of sparseness when I look at them. /6

I’m not sure what the missing ingredient is. I had another friend a few years ago with a space very similar to mine but she also had made it feel very warm somehow. The only real difference was maybe (again) more Knick-knacks and more wall coverage. /7

I’m wondering if just adding more unnecessary STUFF that’s cute to look at will give me the effect I want. I always feel like I’m not great at decorating even though I think I’ve gotten better and I’m never sure how to make a space generate the feelings I want. /8

Replying to @liminal_warmth @eigenrobot
you might lean too far toward catalog vibes for my input to be relevant do you save images of environments you like?
