Just to re-iterate here: Marigold and Co. have lived in this place for 6 months.

I'm sorry, but "minimalist millenial" doesn't begin to cover this situation. Marigold appears to have bought a house far larger than she needs (which is fair enough if she has the money) and then proceeded to...do nothing with it. No decorations on the walls, the floors, no rugs other than the one in the entryway. We haven't even seen a dining table, they ate breakfast in the kitchen by all appearances.

I just don't get it. If the lack of furniture is a plot point, surely we should be dealing with that instead of the gacha stuff?
My boomer parents have more furniture in their dining room than I, a millennial, have in my entire house (and it would be even more extreme if they hadn't forcibly donated furniture to me). It's not that unusual. Marigold spent years living a life in which bed, couch, and desk were her only furniture options and has maintained that lifestyle. There's no real reason not too.

Yes, there's a lack of wall decorations in a house that probably should be plastered in anime posters, but that's probably just artistic conservation at work - Jeph has never drawn heavily decorated backdrops at any point, there's usually one thing in the background max.
