Here's a classic, it also doubles as a Heaven's Interior imo.

If that's a thought of heaven I will imo opt for cremation

Hi, I’ve got so much to catch up on!
Thank you so much for making the pictures, @Ross1975! I love the first street one, it’s almost too perfect which makes it creepy. I’m not going to say I ‘like’ the waterslide ones because they scare me, but I do appreciate them. I actually quite like the waiting room ones! I do love pink though. I’ve enjoyed having a good look at the shelves to figure out what products they could possibly be. That last pic is very liminal. What makes you think of it as Heaven’s interior? I might try and make some pictures myself, thanks for all the AI recommendations. Oh, I know that video! It’s amazing what comes out of people’s brains.
Ooh delicious looking hot chocolate @StarryEyed, thanks! I’ve got a couple of days off this week so I should put some time aside to start my collage. I love the feeling of limbo in your collage. I find the boat picture quite peaceful but also full of dread if that makes sense? They’re definitely liminal.

Lonely chairs feel very liminal to me.

@Rachel_Scope thank you for your comments on my collage and best of luck with yours. Yes, you make a lot of sense, but perhaps I'm not your best checkpoint ? 😊 Creating collages can be a fabulous exercise in mindfulness - being present with your thoughts, emotions, hands and environment (collage materials) all at once. It can be quite pleasantly intense. Here are a couple of scary spaces for you. BTW, do you find these less scary as we're posting them (desensitisation therapy perhaps)?
@Ross1975 what do you find heavenly about your space? Or maybe you were kidding? It's definitely nostalgic!

The first picture is definitely the creepiest for me @StarryEyed. I think it's waterslides in general that get me! It's now desensitising me but I like the feeling of being creeped out by them. I guess it's like watching a horror film knowing you're going to get scared but you still want to experience it. I must say this is my favourite thread on here!
Here's my picture for today. I would love to know more about this house and who lived there.

Thanks Rachel. What makes me think about it as a Heaven's Interior is it just has that same kind of feel to it as other Heaven's Interior pictures.
They're kind of different from liminal spaces. They still have a very off feeling about them but not all of them are liminal, they tend to not look as empty, and they have ugly decor, some are very clean while others are very dirty, most are much creepier than liminal spaces and kind of disturbing imo.
Why they're called Heaven's Interior I don't know, but it's a really creepy name which suits the pictures I think. The person who coined the term also came up with the name room hole for these pictures which makes more sense.
Here's a link to her blog where you can see many of these pictures:

I don't find it heavenly at all, quite the opposite! The name was created by a woman back in 2009 who created a blog on tumblr showing the pictures, if I remember correctly I think she had took some pictures herself, posted them on there, and then started looking for similar pictures online and started posting them on there as well, and then when she left tumblr her mum took over, her mum said 'One of my favorite things to pass the time away. I spend hours looking for the perfect room to share with everyone.'
I don't think I've ever found any liminal space/heaven's interior/room hole pictures scary, but I did find some of them felt very disturbing and would give me a weird unpleasant feeling that would linger for a long time afterwards, that being said at the same time I would sometimes feel fascinated by them, especially after having a drink which made them not feel as disturbing, and I'd start browsing them, over time I got desensitised to them and now while I can recognise that some of them do indeed look very disturbing I don't actually feel disturbed by them.

Another liminal space which also doubles as a Heaven's Interior/room hole.

Oh ok that makes more sense now. I thought you meant it literally looks like heaven! That website won't work for me but I've managed to find some of their pictures elsewhere and I'm very intrigued. This picture feels very cold to me and I'd love to know its backstory. The carpet in this is definitely dirty!

Yup, that's definitely one of them!
Maybe this link will work instead. @roomhole on Tumblr

It's saying I need an account, but it got me further than the last link! I'll have to sign up later and have a look through. Looks right up my street.

Why does this one make me feel so uncomfortable?
0 -
So many frills! I wonder if the discomfort comes from it being a bedroom which is a typically very private place? Again, this one feels cold to me. I don't think I'd get a good night's sleep here.

I guess it's because it's so unusual compared to how bedrooms look in the UK, almost alien, and it looks as though it could belong to a really strict religious household, I could imagine the kids that live there being made to read the bible and being given the belt or something. So when I imagine myself being there, how I would feel, it just seems like it'd feel really uncomfortable mentally.

That's a really interesting perspective and I completely agree. I guess it's the unknown of who lives in this bedroom.
This makes me uncomfortable because the bed is at a wrong angle.
1 -
That one is a classic, Rachel, I've seen it before, it's quite a well known one. I wonder what the story is with the bed being like that? It looks like it would fit and if not the drawers could just be moved a bit over to the left so it does. Or maybe someone used photoshop to make the bed look like that?

Tbh im not quiet sure what it means

I'm thinking what is unsettling or creepy to one person may not be to the next. Also maybe it's worth noting it's good to use desensitisation therapy for phobias for example, but not good to get desensitised to other things.
Me too, Catherine. I'm learning in this thread. It's very interesting. If you have a Pinterest account you can explore a lot of liminal categories there, if you're interested.

While liminal I also think of this as a Heaven's 'Exterior', a term that I came up with myself.
