that were once upon a time used for comfort and satisfaction, are now used as material for public acceptance.
Videos and pictures with faultless kitchens, perfect living rooms, and luxury refurbishments are now the standards for daily life.
People have stopped comparing their homes to that of neighbours around them, and now compare to millions of professionally edited photographs and videos online.
The issue is that the majority of what homeowners see online have been perfectly edited to give an impression of flawlessness.
With the perfect editing, a little flat will look like a luxury penthouse.
Still, viewers think the pictures are ordinary.
They pressure themselves to always upgrade, makeover, and renovate previously acceptable areas.
Many people are now concerned with whether their houses appear “Inustagram worthy” than with personal comfort.
Absolutely. It has made people detached from reality and made a sense of comparison that isn’t there in the first place. You’ll end up seeing people with perfectly good homes taking it down saying it’s no longer trending on social media.
That’s a real shift in how people view homes. Social media often shows highly edited, idealized spaces, which can make normal, lived in homes feel less “enough” by comparison. It’s easy to forget that real comfort and functionality matter more than how a space looks in photos.
