I usually don't care for "themes", but this looks like somebody's passion. It's a nice room.

The concept is fine.

A bit of overkill on the dark blue in the bookshelves, and in the amount of wall art used.

I do like the five prints over the doorway, but cut the amount used on the sides for sure,

Me - I would probably of done one large one on the left and two large ones on the right.

I like the dining room table and chairs.

When walking into a room or looking at a photo, I make note of my first impression of the overall room, then look at the decor separately.

Noticeably, too many photos on the wall. Something not right with the bookshelf arrangements. This is a family room with no TV set? No recliner or sofa for lounging. For reading only, playing games, maybe? Of course we can't see what's on the other side of the room, but with a blond chest?, table?, desk? there'd be no space for a sofa and it wouldn't be sitting in the middle of the room.

My first impression was not cozy or useful as a family room. Don't see this room being used very much. I like the architecture, not the decor. The only thing I do like is the leather chair and oriental vases.

For a family room, it gets a D.

Would be nice for a coastal B&B

I think this looks more like a home office than a family room.

We're a sailing/racing sailboat family, so I love it!

As a minimalist at heart, this room is much too busy for me.

Way too cluttered; you can't see the beauty of the architecture. I agree with someone else that it looks like an office of some kind. All the books covered in dark blue are just plain silly.

Obviously this is a room for those who love sailing . For that purpose it works.

I'm not into themed rooms either but I could live with this one if you decluttered the artwork on the wall and removed the blue book covers from all the books.

I like this family room a lot, but in someone else's house, not mine. I'ved worked in international shipping for over 30 years and wouldn't want to think about it when I am not working, LOL. To me, the colors and decor are are very calming.

Wow that’s a lotta blue. It definitely masculine. I love how the pics frame the doorway.

I do see a navy couch that matches the chair and it appears there's a tv over the white mantel--if you look in the reflection of the lamp. I imagine there may be more seating from where the picture is being shot.

I think the room is pretty. But I'm not sure if they needed to cover all the books blue. That's a little strange. TBH, my coffee table books do match the decor of my livingroom, but they are also great to pick up and read/skim thru the pictures.

I like the navy and white, but could never live w/all those pictures.

This room and its contents are arranged with military precision. I'd hate to see their Christmas tree. I knew a couple like this.

I think it's a wonderful room, and very fitting for this family. ... tastefully done.

Hmmm... that's a lot of navy...

I’m also not into theme rooms as a rule.

But I do like many elements of this one.

The navy is way overdone to my taste, and the precision makes me twitch.

YES SIR!!!.

@lolakimono I like the furniture and colors, and it is perfect for a sailor. While it is not for me, it could work for me with other art work.
