The homes of the Mormon friends I had growing up all seemed pretty normal. One friend's house had a huge laundry room with a big table that always had a mountain of laundry to be folded--she had to fold 20 items every day when she got home from school.

This is an UMC thing, not a Mormon thing.

A trends marketing consultant at my work once called "Real Simple" magazine "p0rn for women".

I believe the uncluttered visual aesthetic is a "rich" aesthetic just as other posters have said. It's a largely unattainable state for most of us mortals.

Another aspect of this is the "sad beige children" upmarket children's product aesthetic.

In olden times, the Victorian cluttery aesthetic looked rich because it was hard to get and afford those objects. No longer true...ornate secretary desk, china for 14, ostrich egg, 20 lb geode, books by the foot...all available with a few clicks.

It’s not a Mormon thing, OP.

Stop watching that crap.

All the Mormons I know personally have normal stuff in their homes plus maybe extra canned goods.

I don’t know about tv personalities.

It's so telling when people don't have books in their houses.

I don't agree at all. It makes it seem like you have no personality. I was always aghast at how bland and boring the Kardashian houses were-beige on beige on beige. Literally anyone could have lived there.

I have no stuff in my 3500sqft newly built house and I have no personality, I don’t care for having personality 😄

Okay, do you! It's just completely different from how I grew up, so I find it unnerving

Kennedy Center hosted “Book of Mormon.”

While it was funny, I did not like Mormons after seeing the play.

For the more fundamentalist ones, it stops the different wives arguing over how to decorate.

I think they have to take down most wall art to avoid violating copyrights when filming. It's too hard to get permissions. That's why a lot of design shows decorate with ugly word art.
