stevieb, as you said "different strokes". Not feeling this or any of your posts. Sterile, no warmth, man caves, one of your posts etc., etc.

@stevieb I think the decorator tried to add some warmth using the color yellow but it's still a miss in my opinion. First I would take away that large personal artwork on the right. Second the 2 chairs need to be replaced with more "cushy" pieces or a small loveseat. Then tie them together with coordinating textured pillows. Maybe a prettier shade too.

The idea of the room is okay, but I would quickly get rid of the furniture for more "cushy" pieces and better lighting and that awful picture.

Doesn"t look comfortable at all.

This doesn't look comfortable to me at all.....I like Yellow, but it isn't necessarily a relaxing color to me, it is more of an energizing color.

I do not get a warm or comfortable feeling with this room, not a fan.

This is not inviting, warm, or comfortable to me.

@nova There's really nothing about this room that reels me in... It's not awful, it's just 'blah'... I agree, the yellow pillows are there to punch it up and, to me, they help but not enough... Don't like the 'art' either and the chairs absolutely need to be replaced with something 'warmer' and more substantial... Whatever color pillow are chosen, they might have somehow tied it in to the window covering...

Absolutely... Different strokes... If nothing I post appeals to you then, well, nothing I post appeals to you...

@stevieb

This is a no for me. It has no style of any kind. Well maybe plain and blah.

But I do enjoy your post. Keep em coming.

I think it's blah too...

And thank you @ladycos. I plan to... Keeping in mind that nothing any of us posts is going to be universally adored AND that I don't like everything I post by a long shot... It's all about the conversations and comments the posts generate...

@stevieb Love the Library ladder! Don't care for the single bookcase on the other side of the window, looks unbalanced to me. I would move the art work over, once the bookcase was removed. For the most part, I'm neutral on this.

@Somertime This isn't a space that exactly captured me either... Truthfully, I'm not sure I'd keep anything in this room and, in fact, I don't even like what I can see of the room itself!!

This is one of the better reading areas I've seen. Not masculine looking & nice & bright with the furnishings & window. Bookshelves aren't as cluttered either.

It is not what I consider a "warm" comfortable room to sit and read a book in. It needs soft chairs with end tables with

good reading lamps and if at all possible, a foot stool. Three or four shelf bookcases would be preferable as opposed to floor to ceiling bookshelves. I would do the whole room over it were mine.
