SOUTH CAROLINA LIVING ROOM

Oznell — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 00:07:45 GMT

Nashville-based designer Eric Ross created a room in Columbia, S.C., that feels airy to me, softly washed in color, serene and timeless.

Love the vintage-looking lamp, the other antiques, and the comfy looking couches and chairs...

I think it's really enhancing, that the room has appealing vistas into other, light-filled spaces. Like, the living room looks into another room at this end, that could be a sun room:

And back at the other end of the room, it looks into this lovely entry way, with yet another room ( dramatically black?) beyond...

The house has a pretty dining room too. The walls are a little darker, still neutral, a 'malted milk' color, but with more soft color in chairs and curtains:

Love the artful little vignettes he sets up!

Here's a sprinkling of Eric Ross's work from other houses from around the country:

Adore this bedroom--

The hallway outside of the above bedroom has some of my favorite colors together-- a chartreuse-y green, deep blue, and minty green. Slightly kooky, and very 'English country house' look..

I don't really gravitate to yellow, but this is cheerful.

Here he goes milk-chocolate-y dark in this living room, but all the off-white, and other colors, plus the light coming in, uplift it for me. Love the lived-in, squished down leather chair by the hearth!

Yummy blues and stately paintings in this dining room--

Yeah, he tends to lean more "formal' than I would, and more layered, working as he does in these beautiful old houses, but in that vein he does terrific work, in my opinion.

I think the Living room has to much furniture where it looks cluttered

Not a fan of brown painted walls, however the living room in the picture looks to be getting alot of sun and it reflects off the mirror . The big blue sofa and many Chinoiserie pieces also helps the brown walls from looking too sad.

The bedroom with the blue walls is nice and appears to have plenty of sunshine from the big window. Could not make out the drapery and bed linen pattern , so cannot comment . I would not have the nerve to place a big Chinoiserie jar on top of that mint colored cabinet

The only thing I love about that is the clever use of the artwork mimicking the floral in front of it. Everything else looks like a hodge podge of 'stuff' without style to me.

I like all of this. Pretty colors; classy. I love the bedroom with the yellow touches and both dining rooms the best.

The more I look at the photos, trying to find something I like, the less I'm finding to like.

The only room I "kinda" like is the yellow bedroom but even then, I'd have to swap out a few things. The rest of the house doesn't appeal to me whatsoever.

I would have to remove about 50% of the extra furniture and stuff to be happy.

The print drapes would also have to go but I could make it mine with those adjustments.

He relies more on blues than would be my choice, but all of his rooms are nicely done and have a lot of appeal for those preferring more traditional settings, of which I'm one.

Absolutely beautiful. I tend to like a lot of furniture in a space so this really speaks to me. The only thing I would change is the dark brown wall color. The rooms are so inviting and cozy. Love!

@Oznell Thanks for sharing.

Way too busy for my taste. Some designers say you should have one focal point in a room which goes along with my thinking.

I don't use pastels much in my home, but I like the traditional yet comfortable feeling in this room.

The table is gorgeous! I like the wall color, artwork, and drapes too. Would prefer matching fabric on the chairs, and I would swap the beaded chandelier for something different.

I could be comfortable and happy to sit, read, or talk in the warmth and colors in this room. Would prefer different lamps and less blue and white pottery.

I really appreciate this style of decorating, as I will admit I belong to the more is more club. Except for my bathrooms, all my walls are painted off-white. Who was it who said "The way to love life is to enjoy many things" or something on that vein? I guess that is me.

I like this home very much and I love the room with the cushy leather chair by the fireplace. There is not much I dislike except the first bedroom with the matching spread and drapes which, to me, are too busy . I would lie awake at night trying to figure out what to do with the room. But that would not be a hard chore as the rest of the home is so calming and pleasing.

No, not a fan. The rooms have too many too delicate pieces to be attractive to me. I think the space needs more substantial furniture and pieces of decor.

All that little, too delicate for the space stuff makes the room seem nervous to me. Needs some things to tie down the space and make an impact, plus be more comfortable. Doesn't need to be less formal, just less fiddly.

The framed yellow picture looks similar to wallpaper that I think I have seen before; wondering if it is a large piece of wallpaper that was cut and framed. I like that idea. I have done that with gift-wrapping paper that I like a lot - cut a scene from the paper and framed it.

Like how the designer did the real plants with the framed plant pictures, creating an interesting effect:

Nice fabric design on the back of the blue chair. Unusual table design with the three steps, next to the leather chair.

The large heavy planters on the dining room table seem so impractical and in the way.

Love all of it, except for the room with the dark chocolate walls. That's not my taste but the room looks nicely done otherwise. The yellow room is such a pretty shade of yellow, love that choice.
