Normally I don't like anything "zebra" but, in this room, I think it really fits.  What do you think?

@jubilant - I have no problem with the zebra rug, but my eyes cannot stop looking at those framed, brightly colored flower pictures on the wall. I don't think I would feel at all rested or comfortable in that room. I would feel over-stimulated by the artwork, the embroidery on the curtains, the stripes on the chair and pillow, and even the "stripe-like" pattern of the stones around the fireplace. I wouldn't need cafeine in that room to stay awake, that is for sure.

i really like the artwork, just not in this particular room.  to me,  maybe more suited for a bedroom.  i dont care much for this room.  i am a fan of bright colors, but, dislike the striped chairs, big black ottoman, and accessories are a little to matchy for me.  just a no all around for me.

I like green, white, and black color combo. I do like the floral artwork and various prints. I don't think I would choose a white sofa for my home, but I do like the aesthetic.

@Jersey Born @jubilant    I totally agree... just too many patterns mixed together in one room.

I don't care for this room except for the stone around the fireplace.

Very fresh, airy and clean.  Great summer look; winter not so much.  I like the zebra rug as it adds an interesting texture.

I've seen this room before. I think perhaps it was part of an ad or catalog for Ballard. I like the room, overall and that shade of green is very crisp, as is the entire room. Though I like the color quite a bit, the chair silhouette is too modern for me and there are a few other things I'd change, but the room is very pleasing to my eyes.

No. Don't care for any of it.
