The acoustics of homes with clean walls and floors can also be absolutely miserable.
Some small dining rooms amplify all the worst noises and make it terrible to be in, drains your mental battery like few other things.
I’m so glad to see someone else who thinks this. Barren walls, vinyl flooring, 5k Kelvin lights, and scented candles everywhere. It’s like the most miserable consumerist environment imaginable.

Very much so. This is why, wherever I move in, I try to put shelvesn on the walls, hang something non-flat off them, put closets and drawer units so that they form a jagged line. Not only are these things functional, they do away with the terrible reverberations that every sound produces otherwise.
