@ciao_bella I think it looks beautiful. Light & welcoming.

I have orange brick with black mortar & I never see anyone else with the combination.

[ Edited ]

There are some nice elements here but I would:

- put the 2 vases together on one side since the greenery doesn't match

for the other side, find a shorter vase with some greenery (with height to balance the other end)

- put the 3 candles together on the opposite side of the 2 vases

- put the tealights, votives by the 2 larger vases with the books under the shortest candles

- that short white/cream item in front of the mirror needs to be black or removed altogether (looks out of place)

 

This may still need some tweaking after seeing how it comes together.

 

I like the color scheme and how you have a number of rounded items to balance the shape of the mirror.

@ciao_bella,

I think it's lovely! Light and interesting, calming to look at.

And comforting and pretty.

I especially like how you leaned the 2 books against the vase and also the different flowers in the vases. I like that it's not matching everything. You did a wonderful job with a great eye!

@ciao_bella - I love it!  Simple, but beautiful.  I am in the less is more mood lately when it comes to deocrating.  Enjoy it during the coming seasons.
