Anyone For Red, White, and Blue

A living room with a red striped sofa lined with red bullion fringe

 

Plus some black and white?  What do you think?

I think the black and white photo is genius here. It gives the eye a nice place to rest. From what I can see of the room it has a nice flow.

I'm sure many will like it....just not my style with or without the black and white.

I like it except the photo.  A photo that is appealing to me in black and white would be good.

@jubilant The whole thing is a huge NO from me. Don't like any of it.

This vignette is not unpleasant, but I can't really weigh in with such a limited view. The room and built ins look appealing, less so the photograpy as art. I don't care for the sofa pattern but don't detest it. The pillows have some appeal. At least this is a subtle nod to red, white and blue, not a color scheme I'd choose.

No, not for me, I am afraid I don't care for any of it from what I can see.

I was afraid it was going to scream Americana.....USA.....4th of July, but, thankfully, it doesn't.  It's still not a color scheme I would use and I'm not overly fond of the fabrics and decor items.  I'd love to own an all red sofa one day but probably never will.

The colors aren't as bold as I was thinking they might be (which is a good thing). I don't hate it, but I'd prefer a neutral sofa and wood table with those pillows. I don't like the black and white print or that lamp shade.

Re: Anyone For Red, White, and Blue

It is fascinating what a small slice of a room can convey, if it's the right slice!   This is such a sophisticated, charming treatment, with a knowing attention to detail.  And total agreement with you, @manny2 --  the juxtaposition with that dynamic black and white photo is genius!

 

Not even my color palette, but such a vibrant, engaging vignette.
