They love color, definitly a collector as shown by the stacks of magazines and the red vase, personally I find the blue sofa a tad boring compared to the rest of the room

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

They don't know that pale blue doesn't coordinate with orange and that the arm of their chandelier is crooked.   They must like the unusual and aren't too concerned about how things look together.  Room is much too crowded, they must be very thin because there is no room to walk around the furniture and also short as the couch has no legs and sits on the floor and is much too low to sit on.   Also no place to put anything on the tables except that little round table with the glass and book, but I can see the glass on the floor as soon as someone tries to walk by.  To me the room is all wrong.  The picture looks like a blanket hung as a picture.  I do like the floral chair to be used an an accent piece (don't see how you could sit in it) but it belongs in a totally different room.  Nothing in this room works so I guess the person who lives here isn't very practical and must have a hard time actually using this room. They probably have plenty of rooms and just keep this one as a conversation piece.  They probably like nature because of the picture and the blue reminds them of a sky with the orange being the sun and the bush being outside.  Otherwise, the room is just a jumble of mismatched items.

A romantic and creative person lives there. Someone who loves nature and natural things. This person does not like the artificial world or the things that make it so.

That blue sofa gets kind of lost against the blue walls.  Maybe, paint the walls a lighter shade of blue or a different color altogether, maybe a light orange if they're really into orange.

A single woman professional who hired someone to stage her space.  Only authentic thing is the drink she sips at the end of her day.

The person who lives there is a free spirit who loves color and nature.  I agree that the blue sofa blends into the blue wall.  The person likes things a little off-center, re the chandelier.  I think it is someone who is serene and comfortable in their being.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

An eccentric (think Iris Apfel) with a garage sale budget. This woman likes to color outside the box and definitely marches to her own drummer.

I see mid-century influence, this person is my kind of person!

This person just moved in and discovered the large collection of magazines left by the previous owner.  She's exhausted and she's going to sit down, sip a glass of wine, and contemplate a better color to paint the wall behind the sofa, as well as rearranging or getting rid of most of the overloaded tables.  Since the tapestry was given to her by her grandmother, she's keeping it there now, for sentimental reasons. Cat Wink
