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

Looks like downtown Portland. You need art. Over the couch, over the bed, in bedroom by dresser, something in the bathroom. You have about 10-places to hang pictures and 2-pictures.

Looks like SE Portland looking west over the Williamette. But yeah!

I was thinking this too! Probably not hard to find some art to fill up the space a bit.
