THREE LIVING ROOMS

Oznell — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 16:40:35 GMT

Just a little Rorschach test. (Not really!)

Which of these three do you prefer, if any? Each tends to be a bit generic, they're not wildly individual. At least one was part of a showhouse, which might explain a more "bland" aspect. Each has elements I don't like, and ones I do.

Your analysis? Be as specific as you like.

I don't care for #1.

#2 is just okay.

I love the view in #3.

Would take the living room in the middle in a beat.

As you say, they are sort of generic. But if I had to put them in order of appeal, I would say 1, 3, 2.

Cool "quiz."

#1 isn't too bad.

I don't care for #2 at all. It's too formal for my tastes.

#3 is my favorite. I love the view and the furniture is more to my liking. It seems like a more casual setting and one that would feel more comfortable for my lifestyle.

I don't care for any of them.They look to formal. I like comfortable & cozy.I like a living room where you can put your feet up & not feel like your ruining anything.

#1, I like the windows. I don't like the mantle or the black veiny marble around the fireplace

#2, I don't like the solid black around the fireplace. My eyes go right to that. But I do like the mantle

#3, I don't like anything about this

And I don't really care for the furniture in any of them.

I like the first one the best. To me it's comfortable and easy to decorate at Christmas, which is what I care about most. The wood treatment is good for me also. The middle one is beautiful but looks to me like somewhere in the South or the Coast. I like more earthy tones. LIke the forest. The third one is nice for the setting, but a little too drab for me. Maybe it's the lighting in the picture. It looks like something a broker would live in.

I like the coffee table in 1, hate the blue in 2, 3 is ok , but a bit boring. I guess I would take what I like from each room.

#1 not bad seems masculine

#2 reminds me of in-laws who don't like you,this would be their living room

#3 I can see having a great cocktail party here

Is there a 4th??? LOL!!! If I had to pick one it would #3. Don't like #1 at all--too rustic; #2--too white.

The curtains in #1 bug me. They look too much like the impersonal curtains you'd see in a conference room or something. I like the wood mantel lending some much needed warmth, and I love that rich, veined black marble.

Also like the loooooong comfortable looking couch, the stylized horse and the generous bowl on coffee table.

In #2, I'm conflicted. Soft, powdery robin's egg blues are definitely me, but I feel like the room needs shaking up. Throw in some paprika colored pillows, or a blush, or eggplant, or tobacco colored throw, something to interrupt the too-cute prettiness. Wrought iron accessories, some amber glass? Coffee table is boring. Yet the soft wall color would soothe me and keep my blood pressure down!

#3, even though it's neutral and modern, there's something I'm drawn to. Maybe it's the faint air of Art Deco? I do love three-tiered tables like that, or are they 3 separate ones? Like that, and the eclectic accessories on them including the sculpture. I want that view, and think this grouping would be a good little conversation area by the window...

Ha, ha, @luvmybeetle -- "looks like something a broker would live in"-- I like that!

I love the colors of the second space. I think it's lovely.

#1 i like the fireplace, (minus the gold marble) and i could live with the coffeetable

#2 don't really like anything about this one at all. hate white furniture, dislike the color palette.

#3 this is the coziest one. i like the odd objects on the table. wingback chair is cool. oh, and the view is cool.

N#2 is my favorite. Love the space in this room. Colors are great. Furnishings are up my alley.
N#1 is more masculine but I still like it all. I really like the horse above fireplace. Love Horse prints or paintings 99% of the time.
N#3 is just ok for me. Doesn't seem like a homey room. Maybe apartment.

Love 2, like 3, and dislike 1.

But, I'd take them all.

Talk about "good bones" - what fabulous architecture.

If I owned a horse farm, I would choose no. 1. I don't care for no. 2 because I am not fond of blue in the living room. No. 3 is just okay -- I don't like the coffee table and do not like the pillows for a back on the sofa. However, I like the cozy setting of the living area.

I don't care for #1, I really like #2 and also like #3...#2 is very light and airy, but #3 are the colors I use in decor a lot!

Sorry @Oznell but my analysis will have to wait... GIven a quick look, if I absolutely had to pick one of them, and let me just say I'm glad I don't... I'd probably have to choose the second... I'd have to work with it, but could probably make enough changes to be able to endure it... Though it's a good room space wise, pretty much everything would have to go in the first one and the only thing I kind of like in the third one is the sofa...
