Wood Paneled Library

I like the lighter colors and fresh patterns. Nothing is too dark, which can be a concern with wood paneled rooms.

It looks like a very comfortable, livable room. I could curl up and read a book there easily.

True, @lolakimono , and what a handsome room! Just for my personal taste, I prefer paneled walls in which the orange tones have been tamed a bit more. For some reason, when wood tends more orange, it becomes a little too "insistent" for my taste-- I can't explain it!

But with a somewhat softer wood tone, I'd love a wood paneled library like this!

I like the fresh colors too @lolakimono and it is a pretty room. I don't care for the green sofa. I can't put my finger on it but something feels off to me with the furniture, I like the patterned chairs and the rug but the other pieces are not pleasing to my eye. Style, scale not sure.

@lolakimono. Something just seems off. I don't care for the metal table. The style of furniture is nice, but, the colors and prints seem off with the paneling. Not a fan of the chandelier.

I was thinking the very same thing. Light a fire in the fireplace, get a nice cup of hot tea along with a good book and just settle in. The paneling really works in the is room as it brings an element of cozy.

I don’t like it at all.... too many colors/prints ... not for me 👎

Love the wood paneling but dislike the pastels, the effeminate coffee table, and the chandelier.

I don't normally like wood paneling either but this is a very warm comforting wood.

@lolakimono

I'm glad they lightened up the room with softer colors; otherwise, the room would be way too dark & unwelcoming. That being said, I'm not a fan of paneled walls that make the room too formal. The chandelier adds to the formal feel. A casual room for me is more welcome.

I like this room a lot.

It could use a few standing lights, but aside from this, very nice.

Way too many chairs--unless this is a fancy public library. There should be more books.

I agree! The paneling is not overwhelming or dark. It is a very light and cheery space. Many colors and patterns but they all seem to work. And old style and quite welcoming and not stuffy.

I like it.....one room done in wood is fine but that's my limit.

I would just change the color of the sofa to dark gray.

I love this room, so warm and inviting. I would change the sofa color and the patterned chairs and rug. One or the other.

I don't care for that particular furniture in that particular room. Incongruous, IMO.

@grandma r I feel the same way...don't care for the decor . I also think I would like it better if all the walls weren't wood paneling but just an accent wall with the books.

I'd change out the chandelier and get rid of a couple of chairs. I'd replace the couch with this one. And maybe throw a crocheted afghan over the back of it!

@lolakimono Lots of wasted space. Needs more shelves of books. Like the colors.
