@jubilant - Yes, but with one exception--- those two pillows with tiger (?) stripes.

IMO, just removing those two pillows, and by not adding any additional pillows in their place, makes the room calmer and quieter, much more attractive and welcoming, and far less cluttered.

I think the screen behind the sofa and pillows on the sofa are pretty. The animal print pillows and elephant end tables are too much. I would remove at least half of the decor.

I don't mind a small mix of color and patterns but this one I would need to tone down a bit. The colors do make the room happy though.

It is not my taste, but yes it works. You have to see how the eye flows. I think this has a nice balance. It is very easy on the eye.

I love prints, but my current livingroom has one print and everything else co-ordinates with its colors.

I do not buy small prints like those in the large pictures or the lamp. Not for my clothes or my home decor.

I had mixed prints in the living room I refurnished in the 90's, but even then the prints for both the furniture and the art were not flowery.

Not.........way too busy for me. Too many prints and I don't like the elephants or tiger stripes. In the jungle, yes, here, no.

I don't care for Asian decor in a home so it's not for me.

There is too much going on in this room but I love the pale blue chair and to my amazement I don't dislike the tiger pillow on the chair.

I would have to remove the Asian influence and work with the chair, sofa, and 2 tables.

It's just all too much, too busy. It's like when someone is wearing too many accessories. I just want to go up and remove some.

The room has great potential, but just much going on.

I think it's a pretty room. There are things I like more and that I like less and things I'd change, such as the lamps, but overall, I find it appealing, even though it's not a look I'd choose for my own space.

Beautiful example of English country house-inspired style, @jubilant . And I say that as one who, personally, wouldn't want that much visually going on.

But wow, I admire the knowingness of the combinations. The all-important scale of the prints has been varied enough, there's a uniting thread of color palette running through it all, and there are sophisticated little surprise zingers like the animal print, to prevent the descent into mere 'prettiness'.

Like the Brits, I love good porcelain, but I'd have only a few pieces rather than the profusion in the shelves.

I also need more of an eclectic feeling in a room, with always a little modern salted in, to leaven the antiques. But that's just personal preference-- for lovers of classic English design, this room hits all the right notes. Where's my cuppa?!
