"Compare this to homes in films now: massive, sterile cavernous spaces with minimalist furniture. Kitchens are industrial-sized and spotless, and they contain no food. There is no excess. There is no mess." Finally, it's not just me. I can't stand these sterile looking homes and kitchen especially. For the same reason, I am not a huge fan of sterile looking restaurant tables either. The author evokes the emotions behind such feelings better than I can, but it reminds of a famous Joan Rivers joke on the Johny Carson show. "Don't cook. Don't clean. No man will ever make love to a woman because she waxed the linoleum, "My God, the floor's immaculate! Lie down, you hot bitch."

> "Don't cook. Don't clean. No man will ever make love to a woman because she waxed the linoleum, "My God, the floor's immaculate! Lie down, you hot bitch." This is technically true, but most men and women will probably be significantly less interested in making love to you if you're living in a filthy home. Sufficient and necessary conditions and all...

  Yeah agreed but the home need not be spotless clean/sterile. Let me take that back, cleanliness with a certain vibe is perfectly fine. Like some homes you walk into, you get this amazingly welcoming and warm vibe, and the home will be spotless. This is very rare though. Most sterile homes you enter, are devoid of any warmth.

    What if a cold, dark style matches the owner? Is a "warm" home objectively the best?

      Objectively, there is no best option. What's best for me is very likely gonna turn at least a hundred others off.

But if it doesn't support the narrative it's weird to point out that the kitchen isn't messy. Maybe they got home after a trip/mission? Why would it be messy? I'm very pleased by this minimalist interior design. You can achieve interesting designs and keep it minimal.
