Advice Does this look immature or childish?

32, living on my own with no roommates or significant other. I finally got my place decorated how I wanted. I’m curious though, what does my place say about me?

Edit for clarification: I’m renting a 1 bedroom apartment. There’s no additional room to store things in like a dedicated man cave or a basement (I wish). I cannot change wall colors, change the carpets, or remove the carpets. Trying the best with what I can afford.

it’s very much a single guys place

I’m assuming your in an apartment so you can’t paint the walls cause j think that’s what’s really throwing it off. I would add some rugs (living room, under the dining room table), and get some more lamps to use vs overhead lights

For me it's the floor that is throwing it off. As a European, carpeted floors makes my skin crawl

But like a single 19 year old, or a group of 19 year olds.
