This reminds me of an article on The Verge two years ago documenting the semi-intentional convergence of interior design [1]. Admittedly, there was a focus on spaces like short term rentals and coffee shops, but the effect seems translatable; we seem to be converging on sterile, "personalized but not personal" designs.

I'm curious if, similar to the dislike many have for the unrealistic airbrushed images of the human form, we will arrive at a place where these sterile, fatastical spaces are no longer in vogue. In many ways, it encourages a similar level of unhealthy pursuit of the unattainable.
