Re: Aqua LR with Lots of Seating

I find the room to be comfortable looking and appealing.  The only problem I have is using the color black on the shelves and fireplace.  I love the aqua but the black isn't for me. Other than that, very nice!

This is really pretty and inviting. I would consider this a family room.

Too symmetrical to be anything but boring.  (And I can't stand that black hole of a TV above the fireplace.)

@lolakimono 

this 2nd pic is even more beautiful than the 1st one.  Displaying the wall of doors with the oval window over them is so pretty.

This looks more like a warm inviting comfortable family room and I like it very much.  Sometimes I have difficulty judging a stand alone room.  I start thinking how it relates to the rest of the home, what kind of family lives there, etc.  I know my home has changed through the years as family changes over the years. Such fun to look at these great pictures.

I like this more than I thought I would. I would not usually choose aqua as a paint color, but it works here. Like the second picture with the outside view. I would prefer dark brown for the shelving & fireplace instead of black.

Re: Aqua LR with Lots of Seating

There's a lot of things I love about this room.  The color, the windows, lighting/lanterns, beachy/coastal feel.  Even though there is not a lot of clutter, the room does look overcrowded.  The bench seating in the recessed wall areas on either side of the fireplace is a different idea.  I have a similar set up in my great room, but in the recessed areas I have cabinetry.  I too am not a fan of a huge TV over the fireplace.

 

I do think the room is beautiful with the ceiling and furnishings.  But I think in this case a little less might be more.
