Is there a 4th??? LOL!!!  If I had to pick one it would #3.  Don't like #1 at all--too rustic; #2--too white.

The curtains in #1 bug me.  They look too much like the impersonal curtains you'd see in a conference room or something.  I like the wood mantel lending some much needed warmth, and I love that rich, veined black marble.

Also like the loooooong comfortable looking couch, the stylized horse and the generous bowl on coffee table.

In #2, I'm conflicted.  Soft, powdery robin's egg blues are definitely me, but I feel like the room needs shaking up.  Throw in some paprika colored pillows,  or a blush, or eggplant, or tobacco colored throw, something to interrupt the too-cute prettiness.  Wrought iron accessories, some amber glass?  Coffee table is boring.  Yet the soft wall color would soothe me and keep my blood pressure down!

#3, even though it's neutral and modern, there's something I'm drawn to.  Maybe it's the faint air of Art Deco?  I do love three-tiered tables like that, or are they 3 separate ones?  Like that, and the eclectic accessories on them including the sculpture.  I want that view, and think this grouping would be a good little conversation area by the window...

Ha, ha, @luvmybeetle --  "looks like something a broker would live in"--  I like that!

Which of these three do you prefer, if any?   Each tends to be a bit generic, they're not wildly individual.  At least one was part of a showhouse, which might explain a more "bland" aspect.  Each has elements I don't like, and ones I do.

Your analysis?  Be as specific as you like.

I love the colors of the second space.  I think it's lovely.

#1 i like the fireplace, (minus the gold marble) and i could live with the coffeetable

#2 don't really like anything about this one at all.  hate white furniture, dislike the color palette.

#3 this is the coziest one.  i like the odd objects on the table. wingback chair is cool.  oh, and the view is cool.

N#2 is my favorite. Love the space in this room. Colors are great. Furnishings are up my alley.
N#1 is more masculine but I still like it all. I really like the horse above fireplace. Love Horse prints or paintings 99% of the time.
N#3 is just ok for me. Doesn't seem like a homey room. Maybe apartment.

Love 2, like 3, and dislike 1.

But, I'd take them all. 

Talk about "good bones" - what fabulous architecture.

If I owned a horse farm, I would choose no. 1.  I don't care for no. 2 because I am not fond of blue in the living room.  No. 3 is just okay -- I don't like the coffee table and do not like the pillows for a back on the sofa.  However, I like the cozy setting of the living area.

I don't care for #1, I really like #2 and also like #3...#2 is very light and airy, but #3 are the colors I use in decor a lot!

Sorry @Oznell  but my analysis will have to wait... GIven a quick look, if I absolutely had to pick one of them, and let me just say I'm glad I don't... I'd probably have to choose the second... I'd have to work with it, but could probably make enough changes to be able to endure it... Though it's a good room space wise, pretty much everything would have to go in the first one and the only thing I kind of like in the third one is the sofa...
