A question for the ages: do highly styled rooms help or hurt?
I appearance over many, many room pictures as part of my process. As a fashion designer, I examine these pictures with a one-of-a-kind eye. Usually, I need to see how things healthy together both structurally and aesthetically. I find cleverly styled rooms to be distracting. A big glass bowl of Froot Loops on a mattress makes me roll my eyes and marvel what someone turned into questioning.
But it's me. What about you men?

Does seeing a line up of Campbell's Tomato Soup cans make you suspect of Andy Warhol and pine for some pop artwork? Or do things like that stumble upon as literal thoughts?

Do abnormally well-organized pantries inspire you to get extra prepared or make you experience inferior? Does it encounter that the topics of those images are fantasies?

How about that big glass bowl of Froot Loops? Interesting because it's an exciting form, colour and texture? I'm I being too literal in not being able to see it out of its Froot Loopy context? How about that ladder? Think it is there all of the time or became it popped up there just for this shoot?

Please don't invite me to dinner if this is the centerpiece. I'm kidding of course. Sort of.

Do dead and spray painted starfish add interest or are they unappetizing?

Do stacked, old children's books, a DIY lampshade and a Russian nesting doll make a nightstand complete?
Do you locate cleverly styled rooms to be helpful or distracting? I'm curious.
