Fresh Looking Room

Normally I don't like anything "zebra" but, in this room, I think it really fits. What do you think?

@jubilant - I have no problem with the zebra rug, but my eyes cannot stop looking at those framed, brightly colored flower pictures on the wall. I don't think I would feel at all rested or comfortable in that room. I would feel over-stimulated by the artwork, the embroidery on the curtains, the stripes on the chair and pillow, and even the "stripe-like" pattern of the stones around the fireplace. I wouldn't need cafeine in that room to stay awake, that is for sure.

i really like the artwork, just not in this particular room. to me, maybe more suited for a bedroom. i dont care much for this room. i am a fan of bright colors, but, dislike the striped chairs, big black ottoman, and accessories are a little to matchy for me. just a no all around for me.

I like green, white, and black color combo. I do like the floral artwork and various prints. I don't think I would choose a white sofa for my home, but I do like the aesthetic.

@Jersey Born @jubilant I totally agree... just too many patterns mixed together in one room.

I don't care for this room except for the stone around the fireplace.

Very fresh, airy and clean. Great summer look; winter not so much. I like the zebra rug as it adds an interesting texture.

I like everything except for the zebra rug. Don't mind the artwork just not so many would be my preferene.

I've seen this room before. I think perhaps it was part of an ad or catalog for Ballard. I like the room, overall and that shade of green is very crisp, as is the entire room. Though I like the color quite a bit, the chair silhouette is too modern for me and there are a few other things I'd change, but the room is very pleasing to my eyes.

No. Don't care for any of it.

I think it looks nice and gives the room another pop. The one thing that is distracting to me are the curtains with that black chain design on the edges. I also think one picture framed in black would be a lot nicer than the several they have.

At first glance I thought...How pretty and happy looking....then I got to the zebra skin rug. No!

Just pick another pretty rug please and it's a go.

@jubilant , I can see why your eye was drawn to it. Even though that particular color palette is slightly more 'saturated' and intense than my favored "off-colors", I like it.

It has a modern take on the ever-popular and classic "botanical prints" look, which I really enjoy. Beautiful flowers. Zippy, and well-done.

I too have seen this room before.

I like it but am on the fence with the artwork. At first I thought it was Ok then I thought it was too much.

Something a bit more soothing would be my choice..all those pictures and making sure they were all straight at all times would drive me nuts.

It's a bright, beautiful room, colorful but not overly bold. Good room to sit in while enjoying morning coffee and a fresh donut or two, while checking your emails, leafing through a magazine, or just catching a quiet moment. I think it's fun and cheerful.

Green, black and white together are one of my favorite color combinations and I love floral pictures, so I do like the looks of this room. BUT I would not want it in my house as I prefer living with softer colors around me.

The color combo I do like in clothes.

For me the curtains and the pictures of flowers would have to go. Other than that, it's a relatively bright and sunny room.

I can't see any picture! Normally I would see a little box that shows that there is something I can't see, but here I see nothing! How is everyone else able to see something? What's going on with my computer?

I like the art, but the rug would have to go.

@moonandthestars Sometimes it happens, I have no idea why. Also sometimes the picture link is broken. I'm inserting the picture again here, directly from the Ballard site, so hopefully you'll see it.
