Re: If You Like Color and Great Designs

This room most likely looks much better in person.

 

Sometimes rooms look too busy in photos.

 

I'd love to wander around, viewing various items and prints.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

It is not pleasing to my eye. And a quick first glance at the second photo briefly gave me a candy striper vibe for some odd reason.🤔

Perhaps the room was sized down by the photographer to get everything into the shot?

 

While this room might actually look great if the room is much larger, it seems too small and too busy to relax in.

My opinion:

  • I only like prints on accessories ( that way you can change a look easily)
  • I do not like live-edge wood looks, at all.
  • IMO prints do not flow together at all. 
  • Too many items in this room.

That gorgeous arched window and handsome marble fireplace deserve so much better than this mis-matched mish-mish.

I can work with the chairs but that sofa, I thought it had wind up teeth.

I like color and I like great design and while this room has its strengths, these fabric choices are not among them. Nor, from what I can see, are some of the tables, though the added picture of the other side of the room does help things along.

The room is nicely balanced and the prints all flow from one to another.  A lot of people can't be comfortable in this much color and pattern density. 

Many eyes would search for a space to rest.

Re: If You Like Color and Great Designs

There are a couple of good ideas in this room, like the tall mirrors flanking a fireplace. Well, okay, one good idea. But the whole doesn't work for me. The muted wall color with the moody painting and the mashup of bright patterns, the patterns themselves, the juxtaposed styles, for example the rustic wood table and traditional rugs, etc. Those are all okay concepts, but this room feels like everything is having a jangly and uncomfortable conversation.
