It's all About Perspective

lolakimono — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 21:05:31 GMT

When I see sample rooms, often times they're only shown from one angle. I got to see the rest of the house and the featured room, which I think influences my opinion of the rooms when they're finished.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about.

This, to me, is an interesting room, perhaps a study of someone who has traveled?

It's not my taste, but it appeals to me.

Some of you may say that it's too dark/heavy, but look at it from a different perspective.

Here is the dining room, which could also read "dark". Again, it's not something that I would do in my house, but I like it.

And here it is from a different perspective-

Looking from the hallway in, it appears that the house gets plenty of light with the white walls, so it doesn't appear too dark.

Wouldn't want to clean that chandelier but a warmer room than the modern one you posted.I like it much better.

The very first picture in this post, seems to me like a 'real' room that I might see in someone's home.

The others that follow are unlike anything anyone I know (or anywhere I've been) has done.

Does anyone really decorate like some of these pictures we see in magazines or on some of the TV shows? Anyone but celebs, that is!LOL

I like 1,2,and 3 then the chandelier comes in to the picture and it is too much for me. I like it for someone else...just not me.

I don't love the black/white theme in decorating. (Generally.)

When Theresa Caputo (LI Medium) re-did her house I thought it looked hideous. Even though I really like her, her style in all things seems to be way over the top.

I too like 1,2,3 but not the rest. The chandelier is not doing it for me, and the wall is too blue and It just does not appeal to me.....I think the 1st 3 are very cool, especially in a home where someone has traveled extensively-what a cool way to display their travel items.

I agree at seeing a "snippet" or the whole room makes a difference in my opinion. When I saw the first snippet I wasn't crazy about it - then I saw the whole picture and didn't think it so bad at all.

Regarding the blue room. When I redid my kitchen in my other house, it was 600 square feet when we were done. I happen to love blue so I painted the walls navy blue (and it had to be the "right" navy blue, lol). My counter tops/12' island were white corian and they put a matching blue strip in the middle of the "overhang" piece so it would not be so stark.

Having those dark walls made it comfy & warm because during the day I had many large windows for natural light and at night, we had a cathedral ceiling with plenty of recessed lighting.

I couldn't picture my old kitchen any other way. It just worked.
