The closest yet to a room I can actually say I like! Needs less stuff and more of the color red to suit me.

The right mixture of tan and brown that gives a very soothing feeling. The pops of color in artwork and throw pillows really makes a huge difference. It keeps the room from being bland.

This is strange looking.  I have never seen anyone decorate like this with the same color all over.

Re: Tans And Browns

[ Edited ]

Big fan of tans, but this one actually is too much.  I think I would lighten the walls a little.

 

Just leave the key under the mat.

Hmmm, totally tonal... Some might even say monotonous... It's not unattractive and it is calming, but it's not for me. This room lost me with the prominent Asian influences. Good that they introduced at least a bit of color with the orange pillows and I like the window shades, but overall, I'll take a pass...

This room does nothing for me....the wall covering is too dark IMO and blends too much with the sofa and window shades. And those little pillows are all variations of each other. I guess I'm just not a fan of a brown room with a splash of orange.

@stevieb   Yes, it was described as Asian Chic.  I had not seen a room before listed with that name.

I like the colors, but I don't care for the window treatments or the accessories.  I also think I would introduce more light neutrals into the mix.

That color theme is not for me.  I would not paint walls with such a color as shown in the picture.  Not a fan.

The style of decor is not for me, but what I have come to love about the ivory/tan/taupe/sand/brown palate is that it is the most warm yet neutral backdrop for changing up decor. 

 

It allows you to warm a room with earth tones for fall, or to decorate in any Christmas combinations, whether its traditional red and green, or the more trendy pastels or the coastal colors. It blends well with Americana for summer and any number of other color choices people might want to use seasonally or change over to with accent pieces and not have to re paint and reupholster the whole room. Not as stark as the white family of shades, but almost as versitile.
