Pretty and Bright Sitting Room...

I'm enjoying the work of decorator Mark Sikes quite a bit these days. If I could afford to have him come and do my home I'd be sorely tempted. The only thing is he clearly adores blue and while I think it's a beautiful color, it's not among my favorites for interiors, other than for accessories... I thought I'd feature some of his work... Unfortunately, I've had to edit down some of the pictures to meet the size requirements for posting on these boards...

Very fresh, uplifting space.  I like his work too.  It's quite layered-- I might have to thin out the accessories just a bit, but love the mood, the repetition of arches, the light and the view.

You are right about to many tchotchkes. I love the big window. It is a beautiful inviting room.

WIsh I could have posted the larger image of this pretty room. There are more arched windows along the other side of the room, bringing in beautiful light. I think one of the several things that draws me to Sikes is his use of lots of blue and white porcelains and ginger jars, which I like so much.

I agree with some r the others... beautiful room, just too full. I would remove quite a few of the items in it, but I would keep the blue and white porcelain!

I like it, especially because I live in deep South.  Only thing, although I like lots of stuff in a room, this room has a little too much stuff.  Time consuming to clean--I'd have to call in my maid..Smiley Happy

I don't care for the printed sofa, but the room looks comfortable.

Too cluttered for my taste 👎
