I think they were going for a "jewel box" look to complement the rarefied architecture.  Unfortunately, the glossy, lacquered blue paint effect on the walls, combined with the dramatically gilded ceiling, in this application, seem over the top. 

 

A quieter, more "matte" but still striking color scheme would have achieved the effect they were looking for, I believe.

 

Hope to see more posts from you soon, @lolakimono


@Oznell 

Thanks!

I've been waiting for some of the Home posters who are "displeased" with my posts to start their own.  I was accused of "running the boards" by one poster in a nasty thread that was poofed before I saw it.

 

Apparently @ahoymate in particular felt that I should not start so many threads, so I invited her/him to start threads about things he/she wanted to discuss in Home but I haven't seen anything yet.

Re: Formal LR with Built Ins

All that beautiful woodwork painted that ghastly blue....how awful!  Soft white, off white, taupe.... better still, paint removed to reveal the natural wood.
