I've always preferred stark minimalism, I'd own glass furniture if it was comfortable. that ikea shit is a weak attempt to capture the pristine simplicity of understated personalization, some mechanized feng shui that tries to be the 'complete package in itself.' it's the same difference between grating techno and trance. the Ne/Si mode of expression is entirely different, more saturated and fluid, with (more so alpha) a kind of colorful homeyness, which I find relaxing most of the time, but ultimately a bit too claustrophobic to ever make my own. everything has to have a specific position and purpose. also, I think there's a commonality in aristocratic quadras with this, insofar as the brand of aesthetics double external functions lends itself to, but that's just a general impression. I've encountered tasteless beta flamboyance countless times.
