Re: Lots Of Color And Pattern

Wow, that is a lot of color and pattern.  But, I think it works in this room.  It's beautiful.  I can't imagine I'd be able to put together a variety that looks this nice.

@jubilant ,  good choice of a photo that epitomizes "high traditional style",  put together expertly and with panache.

 

I've always admired this kind of know-how.  The result is more "visually demanding" than I desire in my own surroundings--  but, for the style it represents, this is a master class in how to pull off this kind of beauty.

A little too busy for me, but I do like the crown molding.

It’s busy, but well done. It works on the eye. It flows.

@Oznell Yes, I agree. Very visually demanding and very traditional. Now if I could just mix this up with my cozy country it would be perfect. Ha! I'm trying but it's not easy for me especially with a big great room with pine vaulted ceilings!

   The wall screen , is a perfect back drop that allows many colors in a room.  No need to buy alot of new, just rearrange  pieces  from throughout a home

Very interesting with a slightly Oriental influence.  The adjoining area has the same blue as the Louis XVI chair; it must be the key color used throughout the house.

 

Love the shade of white on that wall.

@Oznell I like the term "visually demanding".  It can be used in a lot of instances when you know you don't like a space but can't decide exactly what you don't like.  Often it's just over stimulating, and the term "visually demanding" sums it up perfectly.
