Pretty walls but too much furniture and too traditional for my taste.

I don't love the color scheme, but that's just my preference. I like it when there is a great deal of cushy seating.

These are colors I could live with. I would probably want different artwork on the walls. I think I would feel like the bird was staring at me all the time. 👀

Lolakimono...I really enjoy and look forward your posts. Always interesting.

Love this.

I would add a little more interest to the fireplace, but find this room eye catching.

I like some things and not others.

Not the black fireplace-too stark and doesn't go.

Not the random pictures and nick knacks all over.Too busy and cluttered. Detracts from the lovely spaces of the room.

Not the random pillows in all kinds of prints.

Those seats next to the fireplace-no one could really sit in them with the pictures right over head so they must be for decoration and that's dumb.

I do like the coloring, the ceilings and color and the lamps.

It looks like it could be more of a hotel or Bed & Breakfast lobby , than a real home. I guess they like to collect things and furniture though.

It looks like a hotel lobby to me.

Love the colors, ceiling and chandeliers, but way too much furniture!

This looks like a family room more than a “living room” with a TV over the fireplace. I think it’s really very pretty, this could be a room with all the wrong colors and it would look very heavy and dark. But they have used light and fresh colors.

Or this could be a living family room in something like a vacation house on a lake.

I find the room to be comfortable looking and appealing. The only problem I have is using the color black on the shelves and fireplace. I love the aqua but the black isn't for me. Other than that, very nice!

This is really pretty and inviting. I would consider this a family room.

Too symmetrical to be anything but boring. (And I can't stand that black hole of a TV above the fireplace.)

You're "speaking" my style again! Thank you,

This is a gorgeous room. Love the colors & style. I'd be very happy there.

@lolakimono

this 2nd pic is even more beautiful than the 1st one. Displaying the wall of doors with the oval window over them is so pretty.

This looks more like a warm inviting comfortable family room and I like it very much. Sometimes I have difficulty judging a stand alone room. I start thinking how it relates to the rest of the home, what kind of family lives there, etc. I know my home has changed through the years as family changes over the years. Such fun to look at these great pictures.

I like this more than I thought I would. I would not usually choose aqua as a paint color, but it works here. Like the second picture with the outside view. I would prefer dark brown for the shelving & fireplace instead of black.

There's a lot of things I love about this room. The color, the windows, lighting/lanterns, beachy/coastal feel. Even though there is not a lot of clutter, the room does look overcrowded. The bench seating in the recessed wall areas on either side of the fireplace is a different idea. I have a similar set up in my great room, but in the recessed areas I have cabinetry. I too am not a fan of a huge TV over the fireplace.

I do think the room is beautiful with the ceiling and furnishings. But I think in this case a little less might be more.
