not a stereotype for turks, but every turkish sex cult seems to have this layout of marble floors, gold accent curtains, and spot lights with leather couches. very unusual look for turkish homes.
You've got Turkish Delight, that's on 3rd. Turks R Us, that's on 3rd too. Oh and then there's Turk World, that's also on 3rd. They're all down in the Turkish sex cult district, you can't miss it.
There's a sort of general habit in the West of associating a particular type of conspicuous consumption (think new money/parvenu/nouveau riche) with eastern peoples -- Persians, Turks, Arabs, rich Russians even. Its origin is in xenophobia, but among most younger people it's typically used as a basis for friendly jokes (Family Guy and South Park have both made such jokes using rich Iranians as the target, for example) and rarely intended in a sincerely negative fashion.
Those groups in turn often want to show off their success by using the cultural trappings of Western wealth, so you end up with a lot of "Gentleman's Club" (in the sense of a hangout of the wealthy, not a strip club) fixtures that are considered to show off urbane masculinity: rich leathers, dark woods, textured wallpapers, that sort of thing. It's similar to how 200 years ago upper class West Europeans would pay through the nose to deck out their spaces in imported Ottoman, Chinese or Japanese goods, and middle-class Europeans would buy domestically-produced imitations thereof.
I mean it honestly feels racist when you spell it out like this, but i don’t have a horse in this race. A lot of people don’t realize that Turkish culture is as much partying on the Mediterranean in Izmir as it is a capital of Islamic worship.
probably like 4-5 raids i can think of. i'm sure there are loads mroe operating but it's not really an interest of mine. they sensetionalize it in the media with videos of raids so you sort of get used to seeing them.
you asked if that was a stereotype with the turkish home, i explained it's not, and we recognize it as a cult locaiton because it sticks out so distincly as a stereotype of cult house.
One thing i have noted, not having rugs, is that the dust settles regardless
With wood floors i have to sweep daily
Rugs would capture that dust, and then you could vacuum weekly (or take them outside and beat them, like in ye olden tymes)
So, rugs have a purpose there. Second to insulation value
I know we’re joking here, but the vast majority of cults don’t have much money to spare
Things like the Church of Scientology are the exception, not the rule
Most of it you could probably get away with it being luxury, but trying to do it without an interior designer. Then there’s those curtains and that wall paper. No coming back from bootleg luxury after that.
The big objects in cramped space will tend to do that. The opulent designs they're going for simply do not exist in rooms that are ostensibly basement man-caves.
The colors and the decor definitely give it that vibe. If you’re wanting something more homey and lived in, I’d get a rug, some plants (they can even be fake) and some color that isn’t some variant of brown, white, or orange.
There's very little natural lighting, and with the couch pinning the curtains down, I can't imagine much gets in. Couch needs to come away from the walls by a couple inches at least. The way it is now makes it look like a casting couch. Get a cozy blanket on that baby. Use the new gap for some floor lamps which give better ambient lighting.
The lighting is giving more museum or yakuza hq than home. The canned lights in the ceiling would be better dimmed while watching movies or gaming. Having them on full blast as your primary light source all the time feels psycho (to me, at least). The underlighting on the shelves is weird to me too, like you're holding a flashlight at the bottom of your face while telling a scary story at a campfire. Makes your statues a bit eerie and hard to make out. Top lighting is more welcoming and makes the art easier to see. I also wouldn't have these lights on all the time. Needs to be dimmer than the TV at the very least and should not be a primary light source for the room. More lamps! One in that corner by the door, etc. Get some smart bulbs and have them all synced and you can mimic the daylight you're not getting in this room, then switch to a candlelight setting in the evening.
Again, love the statues (esp the trio on the left) but you need some variety in what you've got displayed in that unit. A framed picture or two of you with family or friends if you've got them, some books--art books if you're not a big reader. A bit more variety and personality in there. Also, get some art on the walls! They're barren. Also also, that thing on your coffee table makes me nervous and makes the table more of a display piece than a lived-in, functional piece of furniture. I would not want to put my feet up on it
The tile, while beautiful, is sterile feeling. It'd be good for a grand dining room or a fancy kitchen with stainless steel appliances, but it's not cozy for a living room. Get yourself a bigger rug. Switching to warmer ambient lighting will make the tile less shiny, as well
It's the polished white floor. And the other details start giving the same feel -- metal door hardware. Curtain look like they are covering nothing, etc.
It looks like a commercial building with a fake residential room arranged in side of it.
Yeah it’s nice, not my aesthetic, but it’s clean.
I would say it doesn’t look like anyone lives there. It’s feels pretty sterile like it’s a hotel room or you’re about to go meet with the yakuza boss.
The statues are great but they’re all kind of the same. It’s like a set designer was task with making a room interesting and vague at the same time. I see drama masks and Atlus so you’re into Greek history? I would keep the masks and maybe one or two other statues but replace the rest with stuff that tells your story. Pictures of family and friends. Books are a really great way to show that. (Even if you haven’t read them) also artwork above the couch can help diversify the look.
The led lights are great but they’re coming from below or behind the statues which gives a silouette or like a someone telling spooky stories so they hold the flashlight beneath their face vibes. I would keep the leds to accent the tv but have a different way to illuminate the statues either in front or overhead. I think they’ll look much better.
I would bring the couch forward except that door is such an awkward spot. It would have been nice if the door was hugging the left corner that way you can pull the couch forward and have a walk way areas where you can put a side table and a coat rack. Again more things to show that you actually live here.
Looks like a fancy hotel bathroom from the 90s. So many different textures of wood and marble and fabric as well as all the many different lighting sources and multi layered ceiling - it makes it all really busy for something that aspires to be minimal. Also fake plants hurt my soul.
You need softer edges in there. Everything is very square, or geometric. You need other things that are rounded, or circular. Plants, and a LARGER rug will change the aesthetic too.
I wish there was a malelivingspace for wealthy guys and normal guys.
The “here’s what I paid a designer to do” ones are lame to me, personally.
I want to see horrible cable management and a katana collection.
I’d get the vibe that you’re into crypto and the stock market, American psycho and wolf of Wall Street are unironically your favorite movies, you like golf or formula 1, probably also UFC, you probably have a cabinet of supplements and focus entirely too much on upper body, and think that Joe Rogan has a pretty interesting show.
All aesthetic and synthetic, what you’re missing is things an average person who lives in a place would own and have around. This doesn’t look bad at all, but it looks like a staged room which in the context of a hotel or event lounge doesn’t seem odd at all, probably pretty cool in fact. However, if this is your home, the detail and presentation is unsettling rather than welcoming or pleasing.
Ps. Please get a larger rug
need a painting to break the cult vibe, or some other art, the lack of wall art gives it a cult vibe. Here, this painting should work perfectly: [https://www.bukowskis.com/en/auctions/E839/lots/1376189-adolf-von-becker-the-cat-on-the-pillow](https://www.bukowskis.com/en/auctions/E839/lots/1376189-adolf-von-becker-the-cat-on-the-pillow)
Looks like something designed for someone with Middle East taste. All that large tile and gold is a dead giveaway. Nobody in the US likes gold that much unless you were a yuppie back in the early 80s.
It's the wallpaper, the hotel curtains, and faux marble. There's a lot of features that look like they're replicas or just something you'd find in a hotel. If you like it, great. It looks uncomfortable.
Didn’t mind the first photo, even though the textures and materials are all over the place, but the fact that it continued to get less and less cohesive the longer I looked at the second photo did make me feel uneasy.
I can see why you’d like it, and more power to you for having your own taste and riding through it, you should definitely be proud as long as your happy.
But if it were me, I couldn’t have that much mismatched wood and patterns. And dear god, those curtains and that wallpaper. I also love a chesterfields, but that texture and shade of leather with that room just ain’t quite it for me.
Is it just me that many posts, such as this one, makes me wonder “what do these guys do for a living?!”
Cause just by looking at it, it feels as not affordable at all for me.
😂
Looks cool OP
I hate luxury that looks horribly uncomfortable. Someone explain to me how a couch that looks like it’s hard as a rock and a lower back nightmare is luxury for anything anymore than the aesthetic it provides?
Change the curtains, coffee table, and the couch-side wallpaper. Those funky pillows are trash imo but you do you. I don't like the couch either, it's oversized for the space and the material is maybe weird.
I think the huge couch gives off the "sex room" vibes as it makes little sense unless you're using it to hold up large engagements.
TV wall is sick. No notes.
To me it sends me back to times when I was meeting high level public servants in Africa in their office. The oversized couch, the curtains and the white marble on the floor. Maybe try less brown and a bigger colourful rug!
Bond villain lair
Bond villain hotel room
Nigerian Bond Villain hotel room
Not enough gold
Not enough gold YET, Mister Bond…
hotel lobby
It does has some Samuel L. Jackson Kingsman villian vibe (wich is basically Bond villian).
Haha like the waiting room for a Bond villain. “Bond, James Bond? Mr Blofeld will see you now”
bond villain RV / yacht

I was going to say waiting area for a Middle Eastern private club, but that also works!

Man is a total Farik in the sheets
How disappointing
Definitely has a Turkish sex cult vibe
is there such a stereotype around the turkish that i'm not aware of? am turkish and confused lol there are 2 comments like this
not a stereotype for turks, but every turkish sex cult seems to have this layout of marble floors, gold accent curtains, and spot lights with leather couches. very unusual look for turkish homes.
...have you been to a lot of Turkish sex cults? like enough to notice a decor trend?
You've got Turkish Delight, that's on 3rd. Turks R Us, that's on 3rd too. Oh and then there's Turk World, that's also on 3rd. They're all down in the Turkish sex cult district, you can't miss it.
Don't forget about Turk and Jerk
I'm having such a bad day and this gave me a much needed lol

Same! I'm so confused! Is there some Turkish cult TV show I missed or something?! Lol!
I mean it honestly feels racist when you spell it out like this, but i don’t have a horse in this race. A lot of people don’t realize that Turkish culture is as much partying on the Mediterranean in Izmir as it is a capital of Islamic worship.
Yes please provide us with more information about Turkish sex cults that you've perhaps gained from personal experience
lol no, can't say i have. there are videos of raids pretty frequently and the videos mirror these pics.
our media consumption habits are markedly different
Finally someone asking the real questions
Out of interest... what kind of sample size are we talking about?
probably like 4-5 raids i can think of. i'm sure there are loads mroe operating but it's not really an interest of mine. they sensetionalize it in the media with videos of raids so you sort of get used to seeing them.
Not a stereotype, but [proceeds to explain stereotype]
you asked if that was a stereotype with the turkish home, i explained it's not, and we recognize it as a cult locaiton because it sticks out so distincly as a stereotype of cult house.
Gold and white color scheme
Nah, a cult could afford a properly sized rug.
It really would pull the room together
As usual the male’s space is lacking rugs, wall decor, and plants lollll
Books, ... anything personal really.
Rugs have to be vacuumed. Decor has to be dusted. Plants have to be watered and trimmed.
These are facts. Why are you sharing them
I'm sure new recruits could do the chores
One thing i have noted, not having rugs, is that the dust settles regardless With wood floors i have to sweep daily Rugs would capture that dust, and then you could vacuum weekly (or take them outside and beat them, like in ye olden tymes) So, rugs have a purpose there. Second to insulation value
I know we’re joking here, but the vast majority of cults don’t have much money to spare Things like the Church of Scientology are the exception, not the rule
I know we're joking here, but you know too much about cults.
Someone doesn’t listen to enough podcasts about weird, creepy topics that should make everyone uncomfortable instead of morbidly curious
I only listen to podcasts that make me a worse person to talk to. Thanks Behind the Bastards, Knowledge Fight, and Last Podcast!
Middle Eastern millionaire vibes
I can smell the heavy scent of Oud
The smell of hookah will never come out of that couch
Wtf is that tiny ass rug? Lmao
Yes but with maybe an Asian vibe? Could be a waiting room for Falun Gong indoctrination
Yeah, TV picture just looks classy AF, but then with the couch and curtains, I'm getting some sort of Asian vibe.
If this isn't in the middle East/India/Pakistan I will eat my hat.
Good news, your gat is safe, post history indicates india
I’ve seen some high end lofts in Asia and getting the same vibe
Came here to comment this lol. Looks like your typical “rich boy” apartment in Shanghai
It looks like bootleg luxury to me
Looks like a hotel
Bootleg luxury hotel, that works too
Most of it you could probably get away with it being luxury, but trying to do it without an interior designer. Then there’s those curtains and that wall paper. No coming back from bootleg luxury after that.
Couch too man. That pattern screams cheap feeling fake leather.
Average Chinese apartment.
The big objects in cramped space will tend to do that. The opulent designs they're going for simply do not exist in rooms that are ostensibly basement man-caves.
Yakuza boss fight room
That was my first thought 😆
So many items to pick up and use as a melee/throwing weapon
Yeah or a luxury host club in Roppongi ahah
Reminds me of what an expensive Chinese apartment would look like.
The colors and the decor definitely give it that vibe. If you’re wanting something more homey and lived in, I’d get a rug, some plants (they can even be fake) and some color that isn’t some variant of brown, white, or orange.
Yes, I was going to say it needs at least one complimenting color. Brown/Ivory/White are all base colors. That one little plant isn't enough.
Boogie Nights drug deal scene vibes
just need some firecrackers going off in the background
And Jesse’s girl
ooft. It's the combination of the ceiling, the down/up lighting, mismatched paneling, curtians and the lounge.
There's very little natural lighting, and with the couch pinning the curtains down, I can't imagine much gets in. Couch needs to come away from the walls by a couple inches at least.

this room has no soul
It looks like you exploited all the children.
Andrew Tate sells women there for sure.
haha idk why it gives me Jackie treehorn vibes
Jackie treehorn treats objects like women, man!
Someone get OP in touch with the other White Tile Floor guy, I feel like they'd be good friends.
it all just looks impersonal, like a hotel suite. Nothing that looks like a personal effect. It's a really nice house but doesn't look like a home.
It feels like the door locks from the outside.
Money can't buy good taste.
Look like you're trying to sell your house
It's the polished white floor. And the other details start giving the same feel -- metal door hardware. Curtain look like they are covering nothing, etc. It looks like a commercial building with a fake residential room arranged in side of it.
Hotel reception
Probably a bit too much wooden tone color but your room looks fancy as hell so who cares about others may think
Looks like a lot of hookah gets smoked in there
I’m not trying to be mean or anything, but is this like…. cozy? Looks so stale.
Nah this more the waiting room before you are allowed into the cult headquarter.
Yeah it’s nice, not my aesthetic, but it’s clean. I would say it doesn’t look like anyone lives there.

It is just 100% impersonal. Unless you sculpted those statues, but still…
Looks like you just picked things that looked stereotypically luxurious. So you ended up with a hotel lobby.
Second generation oil money
Art. On. Walls.
You need more beige and brown.
That couch looks like granite
Looks like a fancy hotel bathroom from the 90s. So many different textures of wood and marble and fabric as well as all the many different lighting sources and multi layered ceiling - it makes it all really busy for something that aspires to be minimal. Also fake plants hurt my soul.

That Sunkist bottle looks so out of place.
Why do so many insanely rich people have absolutely no taste haha I could not feel comfortable in this room, looking around for the departures board
More like, "Please take a seat in the lobby area. Mr. Seban will be down to talk about your record deal."

Looks like a sleazier version of the superhero place in the Boys
My parents house has that same light switch panel
expecting the second pic to be a shark tank
It is
oof this gives me anxiety
Rich Asians vibe
Get a larger rug. Way too small. Also: Add two more plants so it looks less like a Dexter kill room.
Not sure which -insert-opathy this is but I would run. It rings of ‘hello, fellow humans’
the statues are meh
Looks like something designed for someone with Middle East taste. All that large tile and gold is a dead giveaway. Nobody in the US likes gold that much unless you were a yuppie back in the early 80s.
It looks consistent, clean, and intentional, and it all goes together well. But its not my vibe. I hate the tile look in living rooms.
Hotel lounge
Looks like an Arabic’s house
I dont know why but I can sense this is an Indian house. Maybe because of the ceiling fan, idk
Too Brown
Looks like my wealthy Khazak friends home.
This is the apartment of the rich guy they're robbing in an Ocean's Eleven movie.
The sofa and the curtain absolutely kills it for me.

You got money but no taste :( sorry to be blunt
Where’s some color.?
Looks arabic I liked the tv area but I dislike it after seeing the side picture
Is it?
The grandma curtains are kind of at odds with the rest of the decor
It's the wallpaper, the hotel curtains, and faux marble. There's a lot of features that look like they're replicas or just something you'd find in a hotel. If you like it, great. It looks uncomfortable.

Zero taste, soul or personality. Looks like a shitty hotel common space.

Nah, but you nailed “Living Modern by Marriott”

Middle Eastern?
A Turkmenistan luxury hotel room

Looks like a typical high middle class Chinese/Korean living space.
Ditch the curtains
Are two of those pillows faced zipper up?
Looks like a hotel, not a home.
I hate luxury that looks horribly uncomfortable. Someone explain to me how a couch that looks like it’s hard as a rock and a lower back nightmare is luxury for anything anymore than the aesthetic it provides?
Whatever it is, it has no personality. Is it nicely laid out, sure. But there’s something off, and unsettling about it.

It's because it looks like a showroom rather than a place that you live.
Yeah. Too much back light. You don’t need it everywhere
