Looking at science fiction sets, I always wonder why they have to look so "spacey"; Foundation is a good concurrent example of this, but even my highly regarded Expanse, which avoids a lot of inaccuracies usually, is not innocent here. Irregularly shaped doors, flashy lights in useless places, patterned backgrounds, round halls, windows on spaceships, and so on.
I mean, I get it, I watch a space opera, it’s set in space. But why do the designers have to shove it in your face that much? My guess would be that the future rather features sublime technology that disappears into the background when not needed, environments designed for efficiency, not wasted space—especially on vessels.
