It's not half empty. I prefer to think of it as a decor style called "Eclectic Minimalism".

I was like that when I was married too, not wanting to buy too much furniture. Unfortunate, my ex didn't see it my way. To this day, this is still one of her many complaints about me, because we spent years sleeping on the floor with just a set of mattress and a box spring.

Thing is, I actually like the simplicity and clean look of not having too much furniture. A set of mattress and a small desk is all the furniture this guy needs! (But I admit I also have a small dresser and a night stand.)
