Elegant Architecture & Rustic Furnishings

This room really confuses me.

The architectural details, along with the rug, artwork & curtains speak to traditional elegance, but the rustic furnishings look better suited to a country styled house, garden, or outdoor space. The two just don’t go together IMO.

What do you think?

I agree, the furniture is better suited for a patio and the bench and table for a farmhouse. It also look uncomfortable.

@wilma To me this is a mish-mash. I love the wall color and love the drapes tho as a rule I hate drapes! Love the coffee table and the 2 little stools but strongly dislike every other thing in this room. It is a mess IMO, just too much stuff.

It really doesn't know what it's supposed to be!

Too blue, too cluttered, and way too busy for me!

I think if the wall and drape colors were darker, like a tan or brownish color, it would look fine. Or if the furniture was exchanged for more of a French style. It is just too mixed up to look elegant.

I'm not a fan of either style on their own much less combined.

I feel like this room calls for overstuffed very comfortable furniture. It looks like someone got it all ready and then just stuck what furniture they had in it.

All the room posts have been such an education.

Never, did I ever, know how much I hate blue. But I do wear a lot of it. Just nuts.

looks to me like someone either read in a book what shabby chic was, and didn't quite get the concept or decorated with garage sale finds. either way, it doesn't work.

@wilma

For my eyes - this room has too much going on, and it's a tad visually overwhelming.

The room is lovely but the furnishings just don't go. Maybe they ran out of money or couldn't find what they want and stuck what they had in there.

I like the blue walls and white trim. I even like the look of the coffered ceiling although I wouldn't want to clean or paint it down the road (lots of cobwebs I imagine). But I don't like anything else in that room Did anyone else notice the stairs appear to be painted the same color of blue? Too much.

A few pieces might be good for some other room but in general, no to all the furnishings.

@wilma -

I think you're right!

The bones of the room are good, but this room is a do-over.

I think it looks like the previous owners painted it and put the window treatments up and left the rug. Then the current owners moved in with their furniture from a completely different style house.

This room. Is confusing to me as well! Really stressful and unattractive.

OMG this really doesn't work. This is an Indoor/Outdoor furnished room for sure.

I guess if the owner likes it that's all that matters.
