The room is very lovely and I love the window area and windowseat...However, as much as I love a light and airy look, this is too sterile for my taste, so I would add some color and also change the furnishings for a more cozier look.

What I don't quite understand is that upper level with the bookshelves...It looks quite narrow and I would be worried about falling over the railing while browsing along that area and looking for a book...lol

Lovely room

I don’t like this room very much. Again, too much white for me. Not really loving any of the furnishings or accessories. I don’t like the upholstered seating corners on both sides of the fireplace. The second story looks too narrow to be truly functional. The view outside the window is nice.

The bones of the room are good, and I always love "under-dressed" windows like those, that let maximum light flood in. Pretty!

I don't mind the neutral white envelope at all. I think I'd relax the room by having less stiff looking furniture. Would have to banish those padded, tufted alcoves with sconces-- to me, they are the worst feature, seem fussy, and increase the "contrived" feeling.

Loft library is great use of space.

I love this room. I would like it even better if they filled those shelves with books and made a library out of it. I really like the large windows, too.

How interesting to place a gallery wall there. I had not seen that before and love how it breaks up what would otherwise, in my opinion, be a too cavernous wall. The alcoves are another matter (Ugh) and I do not care for most of the furniture.

A dream room for me except for the ugly mirror and the ugly silver quilting in the nooks.

I think I'd make the nooks into shelving, because I have the books to fill them. I just love the room and would put a small chair on the balcony and read up there.

Like the architecture - but too much white. Lovely area

Gee, I love white rooms however this one is overdone due to the white upholstery everywhere and the padded walls on either side of the fireplace.

The wood flooring is very pretty. lol... and I used to have a fireplace exactly like the one pictured. It's a beauty!

@wilma

Totally agree and I also don't like closing up fireplaces. If they don't like the black, put an arrangment in that space.

I think it's beautiful and very well done...for people who have no kids at all in their family.

Agree completely!!

Overall, it's a great open space with large windows & window seat. There's many features I like & others not. But, I can see my own vision to make the changes I'd want.

Now, if there's a nice view .... ?

@stevieb I love every square inch of this space.

I love this area, it is comfortable and warm looking. The only change for me would be to add color.

I'm a crisp white wall type of person (except in the kitchen....way too bright if the windows face a West or South direction).

Anyway, love this room. Easy to add a bit of color here and there. And perfect for hanging art work.

This space is nice and light and airy, however for me it needs a little color, and I also do not like the upholstered spaces next to the fireplace, to me that gives the room a dated appearance. I do like the 2nd story, but it does appear a little narrow! I love the big windows and and the ceiling light from what I can see of it!

WAAAAAAYYYYYYY too white & light for me. Those two alcove seating areas are just hideous. The built-ins on the second level add a nice,unique touch.

I really like the idea of this, but on the bottom I would keep the rug, change the chandelier, ditch all the furniture, start over and warm it up. And put some coverings on the windows!
