Collected LR in Red & Turquoise

Yes, I know this is a lot of stuff (collectibles), but what do you think of these two colors together in decor?

I like it as long as there’s plenty of natural light in the room.

The collection of turq is pretty amazing here. I'd prefer a more vibrant red. I don't like the style of sofa with this room. All in all these colors do mesh. LOVE the red lanterns!

I like the colors together and the room itself is fine --- as long as i's part of a large home where there's a more comfortable space for living. This is a display room, a home museum, but not my idea of where I'd want to relax with a cuppa.

I don't like it at all.

I love turquoise, but this is just too much.

I, too, love turquoise...especially with red.

The collection in the OP is probably worth $$$$$,

but it looks plastic to me....maybe it’s the # of pieces?

Just too much makes the overall look...cheap.

I think turquoise and red together are lovely, but I guess I like it in small doses.

I always laugh when posters will respond to rooms I find pretty with really strong responses, but this time my first thought was the same "no, no, NO!!!!".

It's a statement room of some kind, but it's too much for me to even look at.

The two colors together are ok, but all that stuff! Very interesting room.

Feels like a step back into a time that was very stuffy and formal....museum-like.

Quite a collection here! It looks like a very carefully curated collection. For my taste, the red competes for attention. I would stick to earth tones for the rest of the room.

This is all kinds of UGLY (IMHO). I don't mind the colors but it's the style & decor that is definitely not my style.

Oh my.........no. Looks like a museum. I don't like those colors together at all.

I think you have a really good point. It is quite a collection, but the red does seem to compete for attention. I'm thinking that if the room contained the collection but had lots of white and maybe a nice sand color for accent, it would be so much nicer.

I would prefer less red- maybe just the sofa & chairs.

I like the two colors separately, but not together......

Except red. Good grief that's an ugly room.

Too old, drab red, stuffy, and worn looking to me.

Love turquoise and red together, a match made in heaven. Turquoise is a neutral that goes with everything.
