Pretty Room with Windows

wilma — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 16:46:24 GMT

I like this room. I love all the windows with a view of the outside. The white, blue, & green color scheme is pleasing to me. The furnishings are nice.

I would prefer a lighter color wood or tile floor. I would also prefer solid blue or green chairs with the print being just on the pillows.

@wilma I agree this is a beautiful room, love all the windows but my first thoughts were it could be the sun/conservatory room of a nursing home or club meeting center.

I think it is the size of the room and all the seating around made me think of this. Only thing I do not care for is the white magazine rack. A lovely sunny room. Thanks fir sharing.

It's a nice enough space, but there's something about it that's a miss for me. I don't care for the rug and it, along with some of the fabric choices, make the space look almost commercial. Added to that, the room seems both spare and a bit cluttered at the same time. Maybe that's because, to me, there are too many smaller tables, benches and stools, etc, whereas the room is large enough to accommodate more sizable pieces. Finally, while I love all those widows, there needs to be some way to cover them and there doesn't appear to be. For me, regardless of the privacy level, completely bare windows don't work and don't look finished, especially at night. Wthout some sort of window covering one might also guess the room is a chore to heat in winter or to cool in summer.

I love the room and it is very uplifting. All the light is wonderful. I also really like the chairs but I would take the throw pillows off of them so you could really see the chairs.

That's odd because it is pretty much what I described for that other smaller room we saw on this board that had the all brown furniture.

That's the furniture style and coloring I was thinking of. Even the table is more like what I would have put in that room.

That's a very nice room. Reminds me of the common area of a senior living apartment complex. The only change I might make is to a more neutral colored rug.

It's a miss for me and I don't really know why. I just don't like it!

It's very pretty, but doesn't have a "homey" feel to me. More like a fancy waiting area.

I can't imagine trying to escape sun in your eyes in a room like that. My church is a half-circle design with windows all around. There are spots you can't sit on a sunny day without the sun glaring right in your eyes! Not comfortable.

It's a pretty room, but for some reason I don't care for it, it seems almost cold to me, not homey at all. I do love all of the windows though. Maybe different decor would help.......

I think it's nice, though I agree with some it could be a bit more homier with a little change in the decor. For me though, I LOVE windows and brightness, awesome!!! I may have mentioned before in our previous home we lived way out in the country and I had a ton of windows (42 to be exact) and zero window dressings. We had lovely maple wood in that home so why cover it up plus we could not see our neighbors

I love the windows and the layout of the furniture. Not a fan of the fabrics used on the chairs or the rug.

To me, the upper part of this space is very serene and the lower part is very chaotic.

The room is not cozy enough. Too large for just one seating area.

Working with what's there, switch to a navy print rug to ground the room and remove the pillows from the printed chairs. That would improve things for me.

Looks like a Social Distancing room with seating spread acroos a large area!

I love the space of the room, the windows and doors and ceiling. However, I am not a fan of some of the furnishings and rug. I do like the idea of a blue color scheme and the print chairs are pretty. I also do not care for the coffee table at all. The room itself is very appealing but changes are needed within.

I want to like it but it's just not doing it for me. For one thing it appears off-balance to me. There is no color on the ceiling down to the floors and then boom....you're hit with all the furniture and decor items. I'd prefer the ceiling beams (forget the proper term) to be a dark wood stain as well as darker hardwoods for the flooring. I'd have to swap out a lot of the pillows and the coffee table for starters.

...or different furniture placement. It's so spread apart. As others have said, this layout is less for a home than for a conservatoryor a lobby.

I would get rid of all the furniture and rug and start over. Like the room itself.

Love the room but the rug is a bit too bright for me. I would also change the furniture to larger pieces and less of them.

I'm loving the beautiful windows @wilma, but that's where the love ends.
