A town where there's a diner that's open 24/7, operated by a co-op of local residents, who also take turns working there, basically the whole town's hangout spot, and located at the top of the hill, so that it looks upon the entire town, in all directions, and also sees both the rising sun and setting sun.
I don't know if I'm exactly opposed to sculpture, but I'm not really a fan of how it draws the eye so much either. That leaves me with prints on the walls. I like prints better than paintings, because I know nothing about art and I won't pretend to learn for the purposes of decorating because that's very poseur.
I'm a big believer in faux tropical style; so like... flip flops (duh) and like overly bright prints of palm tree and banana leaves, maybe a few stark faux California surfer style signposts (examples would be 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ).
The reason I say "faux" is because I would still like the rest of the space to be starkly minimalist. As much as I love these aesthetics, I'd die if I had to live in a "warm" "cozy" space dominated by dreamcatchers and blankets thrown over everything.
Another aesthetic I like a lot is "This is totally not anime" art. I love anime, but like... I don't generally enjoy having stark (oh this word) artwork blown up and framed. Not only does it feel kind of "HEY LOOK AT ME" but it also feels like you're cheapening it somehow? But if you can get a logo like the one on this shirt blown up and printed, that's both clever and weird and stylish. Similarly, this jacket cover or this ED visual.

Anyway I think that third picture you posted is something I might hang on a wall, if it didn't have text and if I actually knew what it was from and was attached to it.
The "pied piper" logo, on the other hand, comes with Engrish text, which I don't really like and I'd rather not put on something. The symbol itself is okay though I guess.
The "Fantastic Ocean" thing looks more along the lines of an album cover or movie poster sort of thing.
What level of weeb is "buys Japanese figures of Western media characters because Hasbro is terrible with paint schemes"?

I have a fondness for weird clothing with Engrish text on it. It's probably why I screencapped almost every shirt ever worn in Kamen Rider Build and why Lucky from ToQGer didn't annoy me as much as he did most people.
But I wonder, are there pictures of libraries with fantasy stylings but also a sense of modernism? Without being grunge, run-down, overgrown, ruins, etc.. Like, a functional modern-looking library in a fantasy setting with magic?

It starts to feel like it's just a way for professionals to moan about how terrible everyday people are and it's hurtful because it's about things as personal as people's homes.

One of the local architectural fads were the reinforced corners (visible for example in this photo). It's a typical structural element in old-timey buildings (like, over 400 years old-timey) and seem to have been inspired by Romanesque architecture, of all things. Back then they were used to strengthen the building, now they're often made of styrofoam covered with plaster and tacked onto an already finished building.

I am so glad someone said this.

The first time I saw this all I could think was "oh no GMH has become one of those people who watches room tour videos".
This is sort of funny but actually oh wow real estate inflation. I've always thought minimalist living was a virtuous extreme, but this has seriously made me reconsider that.
"You know, people are always asking for a combination toilet-shower."
Also, combination sink+toilet makes a lot of sense. Haven't thought too much about combination toilet+shower yet.
Considering the personality market that social media is, isn't that most of them?
I'm still not comfortable with it.
I'd totally watch an anime set in this place.
