At this point, the internet has basically turned “single guy apartment” into its own genre. You’ll see spaces that don’t look intentionally simple in a design way, but more like someone moved in and stopped at the bare minimum.
It’s that classic setup where the “living room” is just a TV, a console, a big chair, and open floor. No art, no plants, no couch, and nothing that says anyone lives there besides the electronics.
And yes, there’s usually some kind of workout gear somewhere in the background, like the home is part apartment and part makeshift gym.
He posted it in the “malelivingspace” subreddit, which is a mix of everything. Some posts show rooms that look half-finished and thrown together, while others are actually well put-together spaces where someone clearly tried to make it feel comfortable.
For starters, there is an actual bed frame, which is more than some of these viral rooms have.
Still, the bedding situation didn’t help his case, because there’s no duvet, and the sheets on the bed look like they don’t fit properly.
Other than the bed, the most noticeable item is a large piece of workout equipment. It looks like some kind of weight-training system, which makes the whole room feel more like a spare room at a gym than a space someone relaxes in.
There are no lamps or softer lighting options either, so it’s just the overhead light doing all the work. And the walls are completely empty, which people noticed fast, because there’s not even a single poster or decoration to break it up.
One person summed it up by saying: “It looks like you live in a physical rehabilitation facility.”
Another user leaned into the gym vibe and suggested going all in: “This is hilarious. You need to try to squeeze an exercise bike in here. Maybe put some mirrors on the wall and convert the entire thing into a home gym.”
Someone else told him to treat his girlfriend’s reaction like a warning sign he should actually listen to, writing: “She’s doing you a huge favor bro. Lol. Listen to her.”
Yeah. The internet can be a rough place when you ask for honest opinions.
