Well.... have to admit, I do like that pink---but for an accent chair not a couch. but it looks good in the back of the bookcases and a pillow or 2.

The striped chairs are OK but nothing I would choose. I'd prefer a pair of solid navy chairs and use that stripe print on the pillows on the sofa rather than that flower/pinwheel (whatever it is) print they used.

I think the contrast between the white and color works. I think the stripes work too. It adds a bold element to a neutral room.

I like most of this, just not the fireplace "decor"

I actually like this, just not the fireplace decor.......I am not a stripe person, but somehow this appeals to me!

I have to admit I like it. Unexpected but it brightens up the room. I think one chair might have been enough though.

I am not a pink person but I think I would like it if the fabric was a stripe in green, blue, gray or even just black and white.

@CANDLEQUEEN I like it. Especially the striped chairs.

Do not love it but could manage living with it!

I love those pretty colors on the pillows and the inside of the bookcases but not the stripes!

I like the colors in this room, but I would tone down the stripes - Maybe black and white stripes on a pink chair since both sofas are white. Definitely needs different decor on the mantle. Love the pink color used here.

I actually have two striped chairs, but they are very narrow stripes with a creme background. Pink, blue, green narrow stripes. Nothing so in your face like these stripes.

I think I like it but only if there are more than one living areas.

Not crazy about the dark color of the back of the book shelves.

I'd like to see a bigger pic of the room before I can make a judgement about the stripes. Don't care for the prints on the pillows or what's on the mantel.

A big no for me.

I don't care for bright colors in rooms, so the bright, saturated magenta is a color I'd never choose. Very subtle stripes can be enhancing to a room, but again, these stripes with their strong contrasts of bright magenta, white and dark, are too graphic and "insistent" for me visually.

I prefer off-colors, and 'calmer', softer contrasts and blends.

It wouldn't be my decor choice but I think it's actually not a bad looking room.

I don't mind the stripes, but would have chosen different colors.

I like the chairs and sofas. Not the magenta background of the shelving.
