Warm Kitchen & Living Area

wilma — Sat, 17 Oct 2020 18:13:13 GMT

It’s nice to see a kitchen for a change that isn’t mostly white and neutrals.

I like the warmth of this space. It strikes me as very homey & inviting. I like the colors, furnishings, & most of the accessories. The sofa looks very comfortable.

I don’t like the 2 metal vases or the dirty used candles on the candlesticks. I would replace the artwork near the tall metal vase with something more my style. All easy fixes for me.

The cabinets look very much like mine, and they are a real pain to clean with all of those crevices. However, they are beautiful. I would do the sofa in blue. Other than that, a very nice and cozy look.

This is just OK for me.

It looks a bit dated.IMO

I can see why this room is very appealing, especially if you are tired of white and gray. It would be a pleasant place to be. The spatial arrangement is good, and the lighting inviting.

That said, there's not a single thing I would choose for myself!

I think it’s beautiful except for the green chairs around the table (I hate green) ... I could see this set up in my kitchen 😃

The current trends will look dated at some point, I say get what makes you happy.

Not my colors so that throws the whole thing off for me. Cabinets are very nice. Seems white cabinets are on their last legs already and color is in.

This is too cluttered for me. I like the neutral sofa color. I don't like the kitchen cabinets, as they do give it a dated look. I love the white, gray or even the black cabinets, so to each his own.

Inviting space. I prefer cooler shades and grays over warm neutrals - but inviting area.

I think it's very cozy and I love the furnishings. The only thing that I would change is the large floral arrangement on the island. It just doesn't seem practical for me. I know in our house it would get knocked over in a matter of days.

Very inviting. Only thing I wouldn't use is the striped pillows. Colors are nice, warm---not cold. I like the gold walls and couch.

Pillars don't look dirty to me and I enlarged the pic. They've definitely looked like they've been burned. But that's what they're for. (I can't stand the glass jars/cups that people use that show the black soot from burning.)

I had these colors for years so I changed to the grays and white.

I'll probably change again 😁

Oh my. I don't like much of anything about this one. I hate to say it because it's so often cited and, for me, it usually doesn't ring true, but this one really does strike me as dated. It also lacks much sense of style or originality.

I do like the white kitchens, but this is warm and inviting. Frozen drinks on the coffee table and all...

This area isn't appealing at all to me. I do not care for the colors, furniture and walls, I don't like the coffee table at all especially in black. I also am not a fan of the open space look with kitchen and living room blending. Not my taste.

Weird 70s vibe.

@Lucky Charm

Yes, it does look like the candles have been used. I’ve never been a fan of candles in decorating. I guess I dislike the “used & burned” look. I’m also fearful of fire hazards.

@wilma

This open room is very nice. Love most of it. I have to confess, I'm usually a lover of lighter colored woods, but most of the features here coordinate nicely. As you said, the use of the colors & furnishings make it quite cozy. The sofa materials looks to be durable & that chaise portion .. a nap made in heaven.

Of course, there's always a few exceptions. While the coffe table matches, I don't care for the style.

Very pretty to me and similar to my house
Your home should be your sanctuary and make you feel relaxed, comfortable. One look won’t appeal to all. I personally don’t like grays and whites for my home. HGTV pushed this endlessly. It is cold and lifeless to me.
