Do not love it but could manage living with it!

I love those pretty colors on the pillows and the inside of the bookcases but not the stripes!

I like the colors in this room, but I would tone down the stripes - Maybe black and white stripes on a pink chair since both sofas are white.  Definitely needs different decor on the mantle.  Love the pink color used here.

 

I actually have two striped chairs, but they are very narrow stripes with a creme background.  Pink, blue, green narrow stripes.  Nothing so in your face like these stripes.

I think I like it but only if there are more than one living areas.

 

Not crazy about the dark color of the back of the book shelves.

I'd like to see a bigger pic of the room before I can make a judgement about the stripes.  Don't care for the prints on the pillows or what's on the mantel.

A big no for me.

I don't care for bright colors in rooms, so the bright, saturated magenta is a color I'd never choose.  Very subtle stripes can be enhancing to a room, but again, these stripes with their strong contrasts of bright magenta, white and dark, are too graphic and "insistent" for me visually. 

 

I prefer off-colors, and 'calmer', softer contrasts and blends.

It wouldn't be my decor choice but I think it's actually not a bad looking room.

I don't mind the stripes, but would have chosen different colors.

I like the chairs and sofas.  Not the magenta background of the shelving.
