Elegant Architecture & Rustic Furnishings

[ Edited ]

 

This room really confuses me. 

 

The architectural details, along with the rug, artwork & curtains speak to traditional elegance, but the rustic furnishings look better suited to a country styled house, garden, or outdoor space. The two just don’t go together IMO. 

 

What do you think?

I agree, the furniture is better suited for a patio and the bench and table for a farmhouse.  It also look uncomfortable.

@wilma To me this is a mish-mash. I love the wall color and love the drapes tho as a rule I hate drapes! Love the coffee table and the 2 little stools but strongly dislike every other thing in this room. It is a mess IMO, just too much stuff.

 

It really doesn't know what it's supposed to be!

Too blue, too cluttered, and way too busy for me!

I think if the wall and drape colors were darker, like a tan or brownish color, it would look fine.  Or if the furniture was exchanged for more of a French style.  It is just too mixed up to look elegant.

I'm not a fan of either style on their own much less combined.

I feel like this room calls for overstuffed very comfortable furniture. It looks like someone got it all ready and then just stuck what furniture they had in it.

All the room posts have been such an education.

 

Never, did I ever, know how much I hate blue.  But I do wear a lot of it.  Just nuts.
