HOUSE OUTSIDE LONDON - Page 2

Love the clean lines and the crispness but it's softened not angular. Love the all over calmness, all that light is wonderful. I like @Oznell do not care for metal room dividers but I do like the metal design of these. I find the clean lines and softness to the pace very appealing.

While it is not my style, it is very beautiful! The rooms are just exquisite. I do think the kitchen and living room area need a little more color, but it is a very tranquil, serene home!

Absolutely Stunning....this is my kind of house. I would change out a piece of furniture or two and add more color but, overall, I love it.

It's very nice but I'm not sure I would feel comortable living there.

It does not remind me of London at all. Way too contemporary.

I think it looks nice, but I prefer more color in my home furnishings. I could probably replace a few things and add a few things to make it work for my style.

Love the rooms, the windows, and the colors.

I would have to switch out about half of the modern decor for something more warm and inviting...just too modern for me.

Nice looking put-together home for people with lots of personality to fill those rooms and make it come alive.

Don't care for it. Too stark and institutional for me.

Interestingly, I'm not unsympathetic to the critique of some that her rooms are too impersonal, too cool, etc.

I used to have that response to what I would call this sort of "international" or perhaps, "luxe hotel" style. And she can sometimes go too far in that direction.

Weirdly, elements of that style, in moderation, appeal to me more now. I can only attribute it to changes in my outlook due to pandemic lockdown. I now crave "serenity", and lack of visual "clutter", more than I used to, ha.

Have always like color, but just brushes with color-- soft, soft, slightly off-shades. And I've never been against neutrals-- they calm me down! "Cream" is a staple for me.

So, although I've always been a fan of quirky style, "flea markety" finds, and a little enlivening boho sensibility, the silky soft 'contemporary, vintage, eclectic' mix appeals as well.
