Just musing through Instagram and I realised something.. most people's homes are borderline show home standard.
It's not a put down because my home is the same in terms of cleaning and nice decor with a lot of effort, time and expense.
But I growing up I don't remember the being as standard? I remember fridge magnets, pictures, ornaments etc.
I remember friends houses having carpets that don't match the sofas and a rug that was gifted 10 years ago that doesn't match the home but families kept anyway.
But now I can't think of a single friend or acquaintance with such a mis matched home.
Of course there were home fashions but these weren't the default standard in most homes.
Of course the grey homes with mirrored furniture were a thing (I hated that trend). But even so, people put a lot of money and time into creating that imagine.
I don't remember people putting as much into their home decor years ago.
Now most people I know have gorgeously decorated homes where things match and even family photos are up in black and white with stylish frames.
Is it a new thing to have a show home type house? What do you think has caused it?
I think it may be due to social media?
