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 require nothing more

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.
Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 10 months ago
I’m too old to be getting down on the fucking ground like that. Needs a frame of cinder blocks and plywood.
Blemgo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You should do that anyways. Bed frames exost for a reason: it helps to stop moisture building up on the underside of the mattress, and thus prevents mold.
Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
That plus less bugs end up crawling across your face at night.
faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 10 months ago
To be fair, air mattresses are like shittier futons and don’t get moldy because you’re always moving them around.
Source: I used to live with this setup, only in a smaller room.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I just smother the bottom of my mattress with lotrimin and figure I’m good to go for a few years
voodooattack@lemmy.world 10 months ago
How about a row of cinder blocks along the sides? See? Easy
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
Pfft. Just buy a new mattress and put it in a different place
DrBob@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
I lived like this the first year of my postdoc and couldn’t have been happier. I had 4 place settings but only used one and washed it after every meal. Desk, computer, one camp chair, and an inflatable mattress. Stayed that way until my wife joined me my second year and made me get a real apartment.
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Two beds1?1?
Sergio@slrpnk.net 10 months ago
Anime pillow gets the mattress.

You gotta stay optimistic
tatann@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’m sorry, maybe I’m a bit arrogant but, even if I live for PC and a bed, without any window I’d shoot myself
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
I’m thinking it’s a basement
MissJinx@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Men? Look at this flooring, look at this lighting project! Amazing place
scytale@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Needs a recliner and tv and I’m set.
doingthestuff@lemy.lol 10 months ago
Needs two more monitors.
ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Right? What is their workflow even like?
doingthestuff@lemy.lol 10 months ago
I just finished eight months of not having an office. I worked in random places off of only my laptop, 15.5" 1080p. I’m back in an office but not set up yet. For me, two monitors is workable, three is better. Split screen apps on a single laptop screen is barbaric.
Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
Looks great. Even has guest bedroom.
Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Nah, low ceilings are horrible and oppressive.
The rest is fine.
kameecoding@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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
lorty@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
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?
SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Needs more books. Honestly all these minimal setups are kinda bad if you want something that isn’t a computer.
WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
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.

I'm a man and all I can see is all the dust this huge surface area will collect
vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
that’s why you get a little robot friend to clean it for you
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Having more stuff doesn’t mean less dust. It means more things with dust on it.
baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You can keep your living space as clean or dirty as you like. With all the open space you can use those big duster mops.
Probably take like 5 minutes. Those are over a meter wide
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
Five minutes, Jesus Christ. And you prpbably want me to do that every month or something. Ridiculous
MrNesser@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Too much light not enough RGB

Low carbon footprint living gets way more hate it should (and it shouldn’t get any).
MossyFeathers@pawb.social 10 months ago
I’m a gal. Replace the floor with carpet and add plushies and a dresser and boom. Perfection.
I also love using VR though, and that’d be an amazing VR space.
sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
This may be too much even
Klear@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Perfect for VR
Rakonat@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Had to take my coffee table out of my living area to get enough room in my apt. Only other option would have been moving my pc to bedroom and tossing out my bedframe
Klear@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Worth it.
Tanoh@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Boink! Right into the pillar, again
Szyler@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Just cut it down. /s
rottingleaf@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Especially the column in the middle, just cover it with wood and add various hooks, a transformer table (closed normally, open when you want to sip tea without display glow near you) and maybe something to make the space less open while sleeping. I dunno, a cloth instead of a wall.
And if this doesn’t have a window, maybe not too good.
Almacca@aussie.zone 10 months ago
How’s the serenity.

I bet a Hot Wheels would roll real good on that floor.

i mean, I’ll take anything I can own at this point. Everything is either a subscription or a license now, I’ll be lucky to afford the upkeep to inherit a relatives house.

Twice as many mattreses as needed.

Out of frame: a huge ass TV and a single armchair.
arrow74@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Why have an armchair? Just roll the gaming chair over
Clearwater@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It even seems to have a floor that isn’t worthless! Fuck yeah!
rottingleaf@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’d prefer wooden floor.
superweeniehutjrs@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Needs a motorcycle being rebuilt in it, with that much open space

Cuts a Wall open, now i can park my car inside.

I’m not men, but I thought it seemed pretty cool if it just didn’t have a puller in the middle. Obviously would prefer an actual frame for the bed, but having room for activities would be cool.
Bassman27@lemmy.world 10 months ago
This is such a vibe
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Hell yeah!
