My favorite decorating esthetic is french country, leaning towards traditional, but I really do like this room. It seems serene. I could definitely curl up and relax there.

I am a traditionalist so this would not work for me but I admit it is very well done and quite striking. My only concern is that it would have a short life span and not ideal for the long term.

The room is put together well, but I don't know how long I could live with the black walls.

I definitely think the wicker chair on the left looks very uncomfortable.

Boy that’s different and beautiful. I like it. It’s calming.

I don't think I'd like an all black room, but I could see doing one wall if it were the right black. The one pictured kind of looks like the Ralph Lauren black that I really like. I don't like the furniture at all.

Very well coordinated furnishings to compliment the black walls.

This would work best in a room with minimal sunlight, like a basement or an interior townhome with most windows facing N or E.

I disagree about needing minimal sunlight, this is the color that needs plenty of light and high ceilings and would work well in a larger room. Otherwise it would look like a cellar.

I really like the light furniture and lamp against the dark wall.

I would replace the art with something much less modern...I think that would give the room a warm and welcoming vibe instead of the cooler modern vibe it has now.

Wow. I love this room! I am surprised to say that because I normally gravitate towards very traditional designs, but this is put together beautifully and it is very relaxing looking and calming,even the Black walls! I do think I would eventually get tired of the black walls, but I do love this!

Oh this whole thing is definitely a NO for me.

Especially the wall color, but everything else in this space too actually.

Seriously?, come on - is there not any other out there to paint walls???

Love it but there are a few things I'd have to tweak to make it perfect (replace the chair & coffee table & move the artwork around).

that's very well done, and for the right person probably perfect. i couldn't live with the walls, though.

I am a fan of light and bright. While dramatic, I couldn’t endure black walls.

For this aesthetic, I suppose the room is done well... That said, this isn't an asethetic I admire, so, to me, the room isn't appealing... I like touches of black in a room, but all black walls is an automatic disconnect for me... I can honestly say there isn't a single element in this room I like...

Painfully cold, clinical, and depressing.

It might be okay for others, but not me.
