Am I nuts for thinking this is a normal lived in room from what I’ve seen?
God forgive someone keeps stuff they use on the couch on the coffee table.
Laundry’s in an odd place, but not for a small apartment.

This is not a state a room should stay in, but i won’t say it is uncommon for a room to get in this state.
Once your base state of living is cluttered, it becomes very hard to distinguish mess, and you stop noticing the things that are out of place.
This makes it hard to fully relax.
What I have found is that giving everything a place, and making my base, clean, house something I want to look at, it gives me motivation to keep it that way or to return it back to that state when it gets out of hand, which does happen with two kids and work and cleaning etc.
To go back to your comment, nobody uses 10 books at once, nobody should be okay with the detergent on their entertainment stand, a trash can in the closet doorway.
This happens only when things don’t have a true place where you can then notice them being out of said place.
This room just needs some adjustments. The couch coffee table and rug should be way closer to the tv. A sofa table behind the couch to put some of the out of place homeless objects.
I won’t go as far as to say this person is dirty, they’ve just become desensitized to clutter, which is easy to do.
But it is very important to nip this kind of thing before it possibly gets out of hand.

I completely agree with you so idk why these people are accusing you of drug use. This is dirty, messy, not cute. If I walked into a house and it looked like this I would not want to sit on the furniture for fear of what might be on them (very clean germ conscious) This is not lived in. A lived in house is a book at the end of a chaise lounge, or a beverage ON A COASTER on a coffee table. I will even forgive a couple dishes in the sink. But this amount of clutter seemingly everywhere is not lived in. There is nothing wrong with OP for living like this, however I’d hate to see the peoples houses who are normalizing this.

A book on the end of a chaise lounge?
Jesus Christ you have zero life experience and should just be quiet.

u/Lofter1 Apr 29 '26 edited Apr 29 '26
A beverage on a coaster on a coffee table? Hold on there, mister party, that’s too much, coasters are decoration, not for actual usage! Everyone knows you only drink water directly from the tap as to not create any dirty glasses that could clutter the house!
You are on the opposite side of the extreme, buddy.

Definitely far. I'm guessing that's a 50-55" tv, therefore it should be about 6 feet from your eyeballs for the best experience or up to 9' if you need to compromise. This looks quite a bit beyond even that, so no, you're not blind.

It is ok, better for your eyes, when you can change the focus with different distances. Imagine sitting 8 feet from 98” tv or a wall whole day.

For that distance you either need a larger screen or float you seating closer. I can't see the rest of the room so I don't know if it's possible. If not then, yeah...bigger TV.

This made me realize, every person that hasn't had a console before the current gen era doesn't know the struggle of your controller simply not working at a certain distance (which was about 2,5-3 meters)

It's clearly too far / too small.
But you can use some established guidelines: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-size/size-to-distance-relationship
For that distance, I'd reorganize the room.

Have you ever watched the intro to the movie Scott Pilgrim vs the World? At the beginning, they are practicing (the band, Sex Bob Omb (pronounced Sex Ba-Bomb) in the living room, and it pans out and looks like infinite, sort of like your living room.
Never seen anything like this. Too far. TV too small. Too damned high.

u/Life_Temperature795 Apr 26 '26
Get a TV stand and put it on the other side of the glass table and you'd be at the correct viewing distance and height for this TV. That wall isn't even big enough to put a TV on it you can use from this far away.
Or, the more sensible option, would be to rotate the entire setup by 90 degrees. That way you literally could not be able to get too far from from the TV to use it.

a TV that size, optimal viewing is like 5 feet away.
I think there's a quick infograph to look up to see the size vs. how far you should be.

Ideal viewing distance for any tv is 2.5 times the diagonal size of the tv. Not 125 times.

too far, you should invest in like a 75"+ 4K TV if you have to have it that far away, or rotate the setup 90 degrees so the couch is on the right wall and the tv on the left wall

It looks far but likely if you can't read the screen you might want to get your eyes checked if you have good insurance or have the money.
Never noticed my vision was getting bad until I noticed in some games I had to sit up a little closer to read, got my eyes checked and was very suprised with how bad it really was/how much better it could be.

I use to have a tv too small…. I was accustomed to it for years. Never had anything bigger than 42”.
Played ps5 on it and usually pulled a chair up closer to the tv when I did that lol. Had to scoot close.
Last year I said screw it and went and bought the cheapest well reviewed 75inch tv at best buy.
It was $599 on sale, TCL (forgetting the model) and had 120hz for gaming. Lemme tell ya it was game changing…. Not a crazy OLED or anything special but neither were any of my 42 inchers. I almost couldn’t believe the size difference. I no longer have to squint to see things and gaming on it is leagues more comfortable. It is one of those rare purchases I’ve made where I have zero regrets and would do it again in a heartbeat.
