@lolakimono I like the carefully coordinated elements and the color combination very much.

And pink tones are supposed to be most flattering to our complexions. Note the light streaming in through the door and windows.

Yum! All that's missing is a bowl of Hershey's Kisses on the table.

I am not a Pink fan so this is not for me. The painting might be OK if it has personal meaning to the owner but I don't care for it....I really don't like that shade of brown either so I guess I just don't like this space at all.

I just gotta say,

I read the title "Chocolate Entryway" and immediately imagined the Keebler elve's chocolate cookie door, a gingerbread & chocolate door, a Willy Wonka chocolate door ...etc.

I find the color combination visually fascinating, but in reality, if it were my space to fill, I would keep the chocolate colored walls, vases, two small shelves, console table, and change everything else in the room, especially the paintings and sofa. Pink items are too boldly feminine in my opinion, and that is hard for me to admit considering pink is my favorite color, and I am female. I prefer a more neutral palette of browns, beiges, tans, with a hint of blues or greens in a home, to keep it all more "earthy".

Nice, but a little too dramatic for my tastes.

Nope. I could live with the brown walls and the flooring. Everything else would have to go, especially that painting that overpowers the room. If it's someone's portrait, it seems a tad on the diva side to display it like that.

That's way out of my style range, but I kind of like it.

I don't get the little ottoman in front of the stairway though.

Love this beautiful room. I love pink and brown together. The art and chair are perfect together.

Although pink and brown are supposed to be a chic color combo, I'm not a fan. For some reason it reminds me of a tacky clothing color combination when tweens mix animal print with pink.

This entryway has been well executed, but it's not for me.

I like the chocolate and pink together, love the furnishings and striped pillow and the doors/windows. Everything on the walls would have to go to be replaced with decor that would enhance the walls. Not sure what - would have to do some shopping to find just the right items that would brighten the chocolate walls - perhaps beige, creme with some pink to replace the painting and a mirror between the two shelves. Also needs a more dramatic chandelier. Hopefully this entry

I'm not loving the art, but otherwise a pretty foyer and nice colors.

I'm surprised at all the negativity toward the artwork. I kind of like it. (Even though the table under it is too small.)

Many years ago my sister had one living room wall painted this chocolate color and the other walls white. I always like the contrast and look.

I love this entryway especially the chairs which are my style and taste. The area is elegant and welcoming and the light streaming through adds to its loveliness.

Lovely, but if it were mine, I would follow the suggestions made by Jersey Born.

Not crazy about the pink, but it is nice.
