Did You Say Color...

Eye opening, I'd say...

Eye stabbing, I would say. Too much for me. The only thing I like in this room is the club chair on the right. No thank you to everything else, sorry!

I like it, all but the carpet. The carpet seems like an afterthought, as if someone's relative had given it to them and they couldn't refuse. The rest of the room seems more personal.

These camera angles always make everything seem more crowded. I'm curious to see more of the kitchen in the background and how it fits with the rest of the house.

It made me giggle, but I'm still processing it. Might be okay if the walls weren't golden yellow.

Too much blue.

Baby puke yellow walls would have to go.

I like the club chair and floor covering. All else is ugly and that paint color is a crime!

@GingerPeach Unfortunately, there were no other kitchen pictures, but if you right click and open this picture in a new tab it enlarges and you get a better sense of the kitchen. Incidentally, the dining room I've also posted is from the same house and most of the house is highly color saturated, with a few exceptions. There are several rooms and many elements I find appealing, but overall, I'd probably take things down a few notches. Like you, I think the carpet here is a big part of the problem, though the decorator clearly was on a color overload mission. Who knows, maybe that was the client's request.

I like the horse...the rest is awful.

I'd run screaming. Maybe fun for a hotel stay, but THAT'S IT for me. Whew. Breaking out into a sweat. Way over the top.

Thanks, @stevieb

Not sure about the kitchen wallcovering. The rest looks appealing even with the limited line of sight.

Do you remember there was a time when there would have been a folding or sliding or French door between the two rooms? In this case, such a door would have made the kitchen wallcovering easier on the eyes. I mean, if it didn't have to act as background for the dining room.

Love all your posts.

I love that all color and actually had my office that color. Clients loved it. It was a Biltmore color.

I love it, with less patterns going on.

It's overkill @stevieb The eye can't settle on any one aspect.

A non-patterned rug and better ceiling lighting plan would go a long way to making the room palatable to me. I think the multiple, non-coordinating ceiling fixtures bother me much more than any aspect of the room.

I like the color but there's way too much pattern in this room. My poor eyes couldn't find a place to rest. I'd like to see the room with most of it gone.

A definate no for me....I don't care for anything in the room.

Well, I like blue so if those golden walls miraculously because the faintest shade of blue, I'd like it much better.
