Living room

faeriemoon — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 12:15:53 GMT

This little corner of a French inspired living room has many elements I love. Clean lines on the furniture, metal work on the tables, unadorned (or minimally adorned) large windows, architecturally interesting woodwork, and a fairly neutral color palette:

I would need to see the whole room. As it is, it looks very close and cluttered, especially with that huge tree in the corner. Do like the windows.

I really like the living room from this section of it that we can see. Of course, I'd make a few fairly minor tweaks. I love the french doors and all the windows but I'd need some type of window treatments for them.

I love everything about this room.

The colors used are perfect. It's bright, cheery, and has my name written all over it.

The room is pretty, but hard to judge because it looks like everything was pushed together for the photo. Also I don't understand why this is "French inspired." The furnishings and the room are pretty non-descript.

Absolutely love this too, @faeriemoon ! Everything about it-- architecture, light, metal, glass, rich velvet. It's sophisticated, "clean" but evoking comfort and serenity.

I like this room a lot, very light and airy and pleasing; I think it leans toward minimalism rather than those massive collections often displayed, which I also like.....!

Lovely room.

I like it but nothing French about it IMO. Get rid of the tree.

Close the door your letting in the flies & other critters.

I love houses with lots of windows to let the light in.

I never open the doors or windows. I don't want the humidity in my house.

The article from which it came discussed French Country and French inspired decorating.

Although it doesn't scream French Country, I think it has a French flair in it's composition.

I love it! It feels like their bringing the outside into the room and it and looks so lush.

This room feels more like a sunroom than a formal living room. Even the metal furniture is reminissant of a garden room. Love the big fiddle leaf fig and wish I had a big bright room where I could grow one that large.

@faeriemoon

We often share the same aesthetic and this is a good example.

I love the architectural woodwork.

From what I can see, I like the subtle wall covering.

The sofa looks luxe and side chairs are attractive.

Love metal/glass tables where energy can flow through.

I often prefer small well-done spaces. The only two things I would change is I feel the plant in the corner is over-powering for the small seating area and the lampshade reads a little too yellow for the colors in this room.

@Kachina624

I think it looks like a sunroom too.

@faeriemoon

I like what I see. The furnishings do look a bit crowded in this corner though. I can envision lots of knocked knees with that table so close to the sofa.

It looks like an enclosed porch. Furniture too formal for my taste.

@faeriemoon

I'm loving the windows, doors & flooring. Depending on the location, I'd probably want some sort of window covers. Thanks for sharing.

Room itself is nice. Looks like a sunroom. I'd recover the sofa which looks rather worn to me.

This is exactly my kind of room. I love it.

The rug looks so interesting to me. It looks like a brick pattern.

This is for me a case of the gestalt being more than the sum of its parts. On the face of it, this room doesn't really check off many of my boxes, though I do like the coffee table, but taken all together, it appears to be a handsome living space. About that supposed French influence, it's apparently somewhat minimal and not particularly obvious.

LOVE this! I really like the color of the couch!
