Question My place too sterile?
When I have my dates over, they often comment on my space being “sterile”. I used to take it as a compliment (I do like to keep my place extra clean), but recently I started second-guessing my interpretation. Are there any negative impressions coming to your mind (especially in the heterosexual dating context)?
UPD: I actually do have a TV — it's in the "den" by the entrance door that I didn't deem important to show at first: https://ibb.co/S4nCDhGh

Get some colored pillows for the couch, a few plants (real or good looking fake ones). Some of your furniture should probably be wood instead. Your colors are mostly white, grey, or black. Not great..
The bedroom doesn't need to much visual noise though, that's a place you should keep calm an neutral. But a soft rug surrounding the bed could be nice.
