I really enjoy this but I see a lot inaccurate with #1. Tho it does have the ambiance correct.

So what you’re saying is that the author of the images doesn’t actually know what these design movements looked like.

Cool, now do working class

when folks say they want a "craftsman style" they are referring to arts and crafts, right?

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

So call me annoying, but it’s not actual home interiors. Looks more like artistic representations. 1/

Because the earlier stuff definitely is definitely off in a lot of different ways. 2/

That woodburning stove is not a good fit in the midcentury modern living room.

Home interior fashion *cough*fortherich*cough* Renaissance is comfy looking, though

As for the modern looks, I can't understand why they don't have a TV in the living room.

Yes! The living room is for the stereo, musical instruments, conversations, and art on the walls.

My wife and I don’t own a TV. No use for us.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Mostly because TV's weren't very popular from the 1880s through 1940.

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Maybe the photo is taken from the perspective of the tv. It is what the couch is pointing at after all

6 years ago | Likes 28 Dislikes 0

So we ARE the TV. That's deep, man.

I can't see the main living space in a place without a TV.

Given the size of these rooms they are probably a living room with the tv in the great room. (For them fancy folk with extra rooms)

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I love how this is taken as an opportunity for people to declare they don’t own a TV. It’s like CrossFiters and vegans.

6 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 2

I don't own a TV. But, I just bought a house and my girlfriend owns TVs so by extension I will too.

That “painting” is actually an OLED tv. -me, who knows nothing about interior decorating

The only TV we have is in our Airbnb.

I must say contemporary is the best for me. Anything else is too gaudy for my taste. Im more of a minimalist

I like how we keep using terms like "modern" and "contemporary" as fixed descriptors, as if they won't get dated eventually.

Modern was followed by Postmodern.

6 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

Whaaat?

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I would think contemporary will be adjusted... modern is now an artistic/architectural period (I.e. it’s already dated)

6 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

They will change them eventually. Probably to terms like “cardboard box” or “rainbow”

6 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 3

I'm sure the 50's were called "modern" until we had to specify with the qualifier "mid-century-". We'll probably do something similar.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

This is a very post-modern view

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Modern is Modern. Contemporary just means what’s going on today

6 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 4

Both words have the same root meaning, etymologically. Modern ~= "Of the now", Contemporary ~= "With the times".

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

But style-wise they have distinct meanings. Context matters.

Designers are egomaniacs

They’re the name of artistic eras, so- no they won’t

"contemporary" will definitely stop being contemporary.

I feel that my generation was better off if the people had just skipped having kids for two decades.

Indeed. They ushered in the "make everything a block" architectural style that plagues us today.

Except not even aesthetically pleasing blocks like can be done in minimalism. Just disjointed blocks like the first time you figured out
