Why would you have a framed picture of a mirror, that’d just be weird.

Why is the mirror non-reflective and shaped like a fan? Seems like an odd design choice.

Right, but why do they have a framed picture of a fan on the opposite wall from the mirror?

Somehow I can tell it it’s a room in a USian or canadian house, not sure why exactly though. Maybe it’s the closets, door styles, the carpet, or how they paint their walls. Windows, outlets and door knobs are a dead giveaway.

It’s the unpainted walls because why bother if you can’t afford it and your landlord will soft-evict you by doubling rent in a year?

It’s definitely painted, otherwise you’d see the cardboard drywall, maybe it’s the choice of colour.

US: pastel colours, gaudy ceiling furniture, furniture the colour of the walls, tacky metal frames sprayed with gold, needless 6-panelled doors, walk-in closet.

If this was UK: white walls + cheap spotlights that point nowhere, wood-coloured furniture, tacky metal frames but thinner and black, smaller doors with stupid handles, no closet.

If this was Germany: white walls + no ceiling fixtures, cheap but wooden furniture, tacky metal frames but strong for some reason, clearly framed doors, wide light switches for household pets, no closet.

I had one in my first apartment, in Sweden, but I had one of those really high beds you can keep a desk under, so I had to watch my head when climbing down.

And also watch my head when standing up from the desk. But hey, I had both a desk, an armchair and a bed!

We have them in Japan, but they’re mostly at businesses. That’s slowly changing for homeowners, but not as much for renters (due to rules about modifying things).

There was r/scienceofdeduction@reddit.com that basically tries to find as much information about the person just from a photo. I once found an exact window location to the room where the picture was taken. You would be suprised how much information can be extracted from one picture.

The ceiling fan makes it likely. They’re far more common here.

Then the question becomes, “Why do you have a mirror hanging over your fireplace?” It’s too high for practical use.

Erm, that looks like a mirror reflecting the ceiling fan, not a framed picture of a ceiling fan.

Thats what I thought too at first, but notice the soft pastel colours separated by the diagonal, as if in a fragrant meadow of flowers, bisected by the hard steel blades of the fan, the artist showing the juxtaposition between country and city life, whilst the fan itself is depicted at an elusive angle, like an anxious child shying away from their duties.

No this is clearly the work of a Master.
