Is it odd to prefer minimal decoration?

Asked by KNOWITALL (29696points) April 12th, 2019

People in my office, especially women, but even a few men, are commenting how weird it is that I haven’t decorated my new office and I’ve been in it for two weeks. Frankly I just don’t care to have ‘stuff’ around my work area.

Is it weird? Is it odd enough to make repeated comments on?

I ended up telling them to decorate themselves or get out of my office, in a funny way. Always being a minimalist myself, I see their personal clutter in the office as fussy and a distraction. I’m a clean desk kind of person, helps me think more clearly.
