It’s normal to want to stand out and impress others. However, many others don’t want to live in generic, mass-produced interiors. Some people find joy in having so much in common with everyone else living in their local area. If you, your neighbors, and all of your friends are living in identical homes filled with cushions with cheesy phrases and giant spoons nailed to the walls (which, of course, are made of reclaimed wood), what actually makes your life unique? And it's not just interior design that's falling prey to this trend of spreading generic designs: you can see it pretty much everywhere. There's also a very obvious commercial and low-effort element to all of it.
