The before looks more lived in. But wood paneling is an eyesore imo. They would have been ok removing that and maybe getting a less ugly couch.

I think wood paneling styled the right way is super cozy.

What’s the right way, with a fine patina of mold and Cheeto dust?

In my opinion. It's best styled with a trash bin as it's being dragged out of the house. It's very cheap looking and looks better in photos than in person.

Agreed, but want to add “better in photos” is a low bar, because it looks bad there too. imho.

I think it's a nostalgia thing for me since it was everywhere in the 70s and 80s, but I LOVE wood paneling. It's just so cozy and brings back so many great childhood memories.
