Do you like the look of these rooms, designed with similar elements from the same chain store?

I like them all. I particularly like the couch and lamp in the second picture. I would buy those two items but probably not anything else in the pictures for my home.

The first pic they closed the room off putting the smaller couch where it is, love the lighting and colors in all the rooms. Couch looks comfy.

I like the second two pictures. The first one has too much clutter. Pictures, pillows, nicknacks. It would ok if the pictures would be removed and pillows/nicknacks scaled back.

Love the first one had a similar TV years ago, we ended taking the top off and are still using the base

There’s nothing here I really love. And again with the white and cream furniture...It’s really clean and pretty, but just not practical for real life IMO.

Not loving any of them. Just not my style.

Although it's a "clean", functional look, it's not what i would choose, because it is too generic and homogenized.

Buying from all one store can result in a look like this. I have to have a more eclectic feeling in a room, where the different elements have been drawn from different periods, perhaps, and different sources. To me, this results in a more "collected", varied and personalized room, one that might have been pulled together over a long period of time.

I think they're quite livable, but as @Oznell said, generic.

I also think we're almost being trained that this style is what we are supposed to want. Or is that too paranoid?

None of these are my style so I can't say I 'like' any of them.

What I do love though, it how light they are. I love lots of daylight in a room and these portray that.

Not my style. Boring predictable neutrals with no personality.

Just OK.

I like them.

I do not like the media center/TV cabinets. They're very generic looking.

I don't like rooms decorated in just neutral colors.........I dont like light fabric sofas they are just impractical and I dont like the coffee tables.....its too cold and modern for me...........

@GingerPeach

I think your right I think this is the style that all the designers/buyers of home furnishings want us to like---it's their latest trend........

Oddly enough I am drawn to No. 1 even though the modern look is not really my style. I find the table behind the couch interesting. My style though is more traditional/transitional.

Nothing Wows me. I do like the couches, and the area rugs though.....

Some of the elements are all right. I particularly like sofa #2, but overall, they all look pretty pat and predictable... Come to think of it, that sofa and a couple of the lamps are about the only things I'd want...
