Unaesthetic places in my home ✨

I’ve been seeing people on this app talk about being aesthetic vs. not aesthetic. I’m not a particularly aesthetic person. I try, but I feel like it just doesn’t work out for me lol. So here are some of the realistic, non aesthetic places in my home.

1. We just have a corner in our living room where we pile all the baby stuff. It does not look pleasing and I would like to get rid of it someday, but it’s just really convenient with all of the toys and activity centers our son has in the living area.

2. We have ZERO decorations on our bedroom walls. We decorate other places in the house and neglect our bedroom because no one really sees it but us. Also, I try to make my bed everyday, but sometimes it just doesn’t happen and that is what it is.

3. We have a makeshift nightstand on one side of the bed. It consists of our dog’s cage and a lap desk sitting on top. Maybe one day we’ll get a nightstand to match the one on the other side, but this is working for now haha.

4. Lastly, we do not have marble countertops in our kitchen. We have these cheap, laminate countertops. I actually really don’t like the dark grey and I’ve contemplated getting laminate sheets to put on top, but that’s also a lot of work so I don’t know yet.

What are some unaesthetic places you have in your home? Let’s normalize normal homes where not everything is nice and aesthetic!

... Read moreIn today's social media landscape, where aesthetic perfection is often celebrated, it's refreshing to share the reality of living spaces that are both practical and cozy. Many individuals grapple with maintaining a home that balances functionality with style, especially if children or pets are involved. Common issues include clutter from children’s toys filling up living areas, bare walls in personal spaces like bedrooms, and makeshift furniture solutions driven by necessity rather than design. One relatable theme is the challenge of decorating spaces that are frequented only by family. For example, a bedroom often becomes a sanctuary overlooked in pursuit of an inviting living room or kitchen. Considering the importance of comfort over visual appeal, homeowners may opt to forgo elegant decor for items that serve a practical purpose. Another aspect is the choice of materials in our homes. Not everyone can afford high-end countertops like granite or marble, with many settling for laminate options that may not be as visually appealing but are nonetheless functional. It’s important to recognize that homes evolve over time, shaped by moments of busyness and the joy of family life. By sharing these less-than-perfect aspects of home life, we can foster a supportive community that embraces authenticity over perfection. It encourages others to engage in meaningful discussions about their own living experiences, inviting a wider perspective on what makes a home truly inviting.

I’ve grown up in an unaesthetic household; therefore, it is not in my routine or lifestyle to be “aesthetic.” No matter how hard I try, it always just looks bland!

can we normalize homes looking lived in? i do my best to keep up on the mess but sometimes life just gets in the way. and that’s okay. if i could spend all day everyday cleaning then that wouldn’t reflect a very full life. mess is evidence of life. i think we could all use this reminder ! give your

Here is my real kitchen. On social media, we see these gorgeous kitchens all the time, while most of us do not have that. Kitchens are expensive!! We’ve been in this house for 6 years today and still haven’t done anything to the kitchen because it’s hard! #underconsumptioncore #underconsumpt

my dorm room (and me in general) are not super aesthetically pleasing, it’s just not in the budget or a top priority right now. that being said, I LOVE day in the lifes and morning routines, so I did it anyway, unaesthetically. I only had one class and then ended up relaxing before my closing shift
