Great point, especially the part about everything. I noticed the same thing in Kuala Lumpur

I would push back gently on the interiors part. It sounds small, but the first draft matters

Honestly, great taste. The low-effort version is probably the keeper

This has cozy competence written all over it. My friend tried it in São Paulo and had the opposite result. I like that it feels lived-in instead of over-polished

I do not have a strong take, but the berlin detail is useful. The 5-minute rule is underrated

I wonder how much of this depends on timing. A little friction removed goes a long way. This makes me want to start a weekend project

Really good advice, and it feels doable. I am curious whether interiors still feels good next month

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. The Nairobi example makes it feel concrete. Process photos would be fun to see

That is a good question for people with more experience then me. The low-effort version is probably the keeper. The texture and mood are lovely

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. I would test it for 7 days before deciding. Great use of light and restraint
