Re: How do you find this room: inviting or cold, perfect , etc.

I actually like the room, I'd feel comfortable visiting in there. I do not care for the pendant light in the sitting room and would eliminate it in favor of the porch pendant, I think the mirror abover the fireplace it a touch too big or the sconces are too close, not sure which would work better for the room. For me the multiple patterns create confusion, either the rug or the table covering needs to be changed . . . and the crowd on the coffee table leaves no room for the guest to rest a coffee cup-so a few minor changes.

I like the room, but there is no area to rest your eyes, it's too cluttered. The table with the cloth and books on it, the cloth is too busy, and I never cared for books being stacked.Change the cloth and no to the  books.

The rest of the room is fine.

I would also take the hanging lights down.

The room is somewhat cold looking but has potential to be more inviting, @Nonametoday .

 

Like the blue chairs, the ceiling wood beams, the large windows, the other blues in the room, they all help to warm up the room.

 

Don't care for that mirror, the way the wall art is displayed, the twiggy branches in the fireplace, or that glass-metal coffee table.  A wood coffee table would be warmer.  Seating could be moved closer together to create more of a conversation area.

 

What does look inviting is the room (sunroom?) that can be seen through this room.

I like it.  It is busy and I cannot stand clutter, but the room is tonal and I think that makes it work.  It is more cool than cold and certainly not perfect.    If it were in my home I would be proud of it.

@Nonametoday...  I think this room is lovely. I see quite a bit of pattern, a few decorative accessories and I see books, I do not see clutter. The room. to me, is quite pretty and appears to be comfortable as well. I am not a big fan of blue in home decor, though it works in this room. I would, though, possibly replace the rug.

for show mostly--I wouldn't feel like I could relax in there. Again, way too much stuff.

I like the bright, cheery feeling, but it's way too cluttered and crowded for my taste.  Less is more.

Somewhat inviting but yes, cluttered and I would have that fireplace running.  I'm not one that likes "decor" in a fireplace.  I am a fan of big bright windows or those patio doors!

Decor?  Is that what it is?

 

I thought it was a tumbleweed.

It isn't cold, but not quite to my liking.
