Oh no!  I like formal rooms, but not this one.  Sloppy slip covered big puffy chairs do not belong with the rest of the room. They are too family room casual.

 

I don't like the rug or the coffee table.  That big mirror above  fireplace reflects the chandelier and flower arrangement.  You can't even enjoy it.

 

I hate the wall art too. The only thing formal about it is the frames.

 

The room itself is a beautiful space, but needs a better designer.

Different pictures and floor would work for me.

Well...I like the flowers.

Honestly, remindes me of an over the top Funeral Parlor.

It reminds me of a room you'd see in a grand home in England.

Same here. The pic's gotta go.

Ditto!   Just too much going on...that room makes me nervous.

Well, bet you knew this was coming .. NOPE

Way too formal & ornate looking.  Wouldn't feel comfortable sitting there.

Too ornate and gaudy.

I like everything in the room except the floor......
