Re: Formal LR with Built Ins

@lolakimono Gadzooks no. Too formal, too cluttered, too fussy. I itch just looking at it. And I 'specially don't like the light fixture.

A lot of potential but something about this room just misses. Also, pretty as it is, I think the lighting fixture is a bit too grand for the overall look of the room.

I like to think I'm open minded about most things, but this is just plain awful, in my humble opinion! It reminds me of an elderly aunt's home back in the 1950s.

@lolakimono It does lean toward the Bohemian, doesn't it?

I like the basic design, but the room is overloaded.

 

That chandelier is HIDEOUS.

I think the lighting in the photo ruins the room.  The leather sofa looks washed out and you don't get the richness of the leather.  I think without the sun glare the room would be beautiful.

 

I'd prefer a nicer chandelier.  That one looks a little to octopus to me.

I like blue but not this shade of blue. The room itself is OK but I would have to replace all the furniture, lighting, and that panel in front of the fireplace has to go.

A pretty cream paint color would work for me.

I try to find elements in every room that I like.  The flowers in the vase are pretty.
