The Orange Chairs are Awful...

Otherwise, with a few tweaks, I think I could like this room...

I kinda like the Orange chairs.

They're not a bad splash of color in an otherwise neutral room. My problem would be that I'd tire of them in a year or so.

I like the window coverings and the sofas.

I love the orange chairs the best. The room would be to drab for my taste but I love a lot of color!

I think the main problem with the orange chairs is that they don't go with anything else in the room! To me it's a serious clash of style and vibe. You could do an interesting room based on those chairs but pretty much everything else that's currently there would have to be replaced. Or you could just remove the chairs and there would be harmony

Easily possible as someone's vision of "mid-century ranch". For me the orange chairs would be neither a HARD "yes" or a HARD "no.".

I like the orange chairs, @stevieb I think they contrast the neutral tone of the room. If that's a rug on the floor I would remove it, and let the wood floors shine. It's a beautiful room.

Love the whole look...including those orange chairs but I have to have arms on a chair. To me they do not look very comfortale.

Nope, sorry, don't like the orange chairs. It isn't that they're orange, but I don't like the style of them, Different chairs in orange might have worked for me but not these things. And I refuse to even consider a television over the fireplace. It's an automatic deal-breaker.

I don't know about anyone else, but the chairs reminded me of gigantic fortune cookies. I agree--they don't belong in that room. I like the rest of the room. I don't like to hang my tvs on the wall. Always afraid they'll coming crashing down one day.

I agree I don't like the orange chairs either...I also don't like a TV placed over the fireplace (too high), I'm not crazy about the floor lamps or the rug.

I do like the walls, ceiling and how bright & airy the room is.

The orange would probably look okay, if the chairs weren't such an unattractive, bulky design. They remind me of giant pumpkins, with a quarter missing. They dominate the room.

I can see their desire to add color to this otherwise very neutral room, but the orange doesn't match anything. Something needs to tie it all together.

I don't like the color orange in anything and also don't like the style of the chair.

The rest of the room is OK.

@stevieb The room is nice, a little bland, except for those orange chairs. Actually, I think the chairs are ugly and do not go with the room. While there needs to be more color, those orange chairs need to go.

The black hole over the lovely fireplace is far worse than the orange chairs, which at least look comfortable.

Absolutely agree re that black-hole TV, @stevieb . It would be so simple to put an attractive shade over it.

The room needs some color, but I don't like the style of the chairs......This room is nice, but needs some tweaking and some color! There are some very nice aspects to it though...The Fireplace should be a focal point...
