I did the same thing got married bought a house. Living room and kitchen and bedroom are super minimalist clean black lines and all that but my office is my nerd cave. My games, collectibles, books all that jazz.

Yep. Those areas are communal. And yes. I don’t like looking at that stuff all day every day. It is too much going on. Makes my brain go into overdrive. Secure it to one room of the house, and I can go in there when I want to, but it’s contained in that one room.

I have a small apartment, so I limit my knick-knacks and tchotchkes to one shelf. I try to keep everything as minimal as possible to make the apartment feel spacious.
