Why Does Everybody Own This Innocuous Pillow?

One of my favorite Jezebel blogs of all time is from 2017, titled “Please Stop Buying This Freaking Dumbass Rug.” In it, alum Ellie Shechet identifies and is disappointed by the trend of soft-toned, chevron rugs. She was right then and she’s right now. Regardless of the Shechet’s prescient observation, that particular rug continues to pop up everywhere, and if someone doesn’t act quickly, all homes will look like the same: white and gray, with enough plants thrown in to give the Apple Store-esq. interpretation of modernity some homeyness. Is it still considered “chic” if everyone’s interior design looks the exactly same? Of course, I’m saying this as a twee maximalist, so feel free to roast me.
There is, however, another piece of home decor that I’ve noticed crop up across many apartments and homes of young people on Instagram, regardless of their income or style, look into a manicured home and you are likely to find the $19.99 IKEA STOCKHOLM cushion, as seen above.
