All I See Is...

All I keep seeing in this room is the painted orange wall behind the built in shelf. 😳

The orange is pulling my eyes away from everything else. I didn’t even notice the orange lamp on the right side at first. Seems strange to me to want to draw attention to that shelf. I would want the fireplace and/or windows to be the focal points.

I’m not really loving any of the furnishings or accessories in this room. I did spot the cute dog on the sofa. 🐶🥰

What do you see?

Too much clutter for me. Don't like anything about this room except the dog!

There is that 'pop of color' thing again that decorators say is necessary.

Is it really?

I don't see anything wrong with the orange wall. I think a lot of the other stuff like the gastly green needs to go.

I see a bright, cheery room.

If the orange was a blue this would be a great room

This is sheer awful in my book. The only things I even half-way like are the corner chairs, which are, of course, not used as corner chairs. Perhaps with different shades, the orange lamps might work. It's almost like whoever did this room just wanted so badly to be seen as an iconoclast. The space itself and fireplace are very appealing and, in different hands, a beautiful room might result.

Like the doggie on the sofa 🤗

Switch out the lamps and change the paint and it would be a nice room.

I can't have an orange wall because even though I live in Texas I'm not a U of Texas fan LOL. I do like the blue around the door and the frame.

I wonder how many of our homes would be ripped to shreds if we posted pictures?

This room needs a good 50% of the things removed except the dog of course. I kind I'd like the bright orange in the bookcase but with everything else it's just like pretty haphazard.

I don't care for orange or the coffee table.

Too many colors for me.

The colors just don't flow well together IMO.

I think it looks nice. Not exactly my taste, but it's nicely done.

The first think I noticed was the awful chair in the front of the room. I love the orange wall though but that's not the first thing I noticed.

@wilma

At first glance, I like the color combinations. But, I think I'd get sick of the orange in the room very quick.

I think there's another lamp on the left side in orange, although it doesn't show the full item. I dislike the orange lamps & the green chair. While open shelving does look nice in many cases, I wouldn't want it - couldn't stand all the dusting. The color of the wall where the door is looks like a nice accent color. Can't tell if it's a storm blue or charcoal gray? In either case, I'd probably go with a much lighter shade for the remaining walls.

The BIG winner is ... the Sweet Pooch on the sofa!
