She needs to get rid of some of the clutter on the coffee table.  I doubt if there's room to set down a cup of tea.

@Nonametoday - well, how nice of you. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

@Oznell .....I especially adore the small quilt over the coffee table.  What a sweet touch!  I bet it's an heirloom quilt. Cat Happy

Re: ENGLISH SITTING ROOM AT CHRISTMAS

This room is not what I would want in my home as is... just removing a few things would change my opinion.

I would be fine with it if the throws were removed from the coffee table and sofa and most of the books were removed from the coffee table.

I am not usually a chubby tree person but that one is cute.

 

I always notice the shape of the Christmas Tree when I visit homes. There are short chubby tree people, tall slim tree people, and medium size tree people. We are medium size (not too chubby) tree people but my DD and DS are chubby tree lovers...I guess tree style isn't in the genes.Woman LOL

Re: ENGLISH SITTING ROOM AT CHRISTMAS

The tree is nice, but I'm afraid it would take up most of my living room.  You need these big, old, spacious rooms for something like that.  And no tree topper?

 

I agree with those who think it's too cluttered.  I'd be taking out a lot of "stuff" and just let the tree, fireplace garland and hyacinths be the "stars" of the show.

I love it.

Re: ENGLISH SITTING ROOM AT CHRISTMAS

For anyone who remembers her rooms from before, Paula just has the sweetest, most quintessentially English country house in Norfolk.  I just found this image of her in her Christmas-decorated dining room, from 2021, I think.

 

All the rooms are so homey, yet elegant.   Love her red glass candlesticks, and the metal molds on her walls...

Re: ENGLISH SITTING ROOM AT CHRISTMAS

I love it. My eyes are drawn from the tree to the tulip painting to the mantle, and back around again in a circle, or triangle, hehehe, whichever is a better way to describe it.   They compliment each other.
