While there are things I like about this room, I don't know if I could live with that wall color again. I had wall paper this color in the 70's to 80's. Either the gold on the floor would have to go or the gold on the wall.  What do you think?

I especial!y dislike it with the gray.  The two colors do nothing for each other.  Not only could I not live in this room, I couldn't sit there more than 5 minutes.  Awful.

That's gray?  It's coming up blue on my screen.  I don't mind the room and furnishings too much, but the gold walls and rug look out of place to me.

It is jarring to see some colors paired together, this being one instance. This color just screams no to the gold and vide versa.  The color Bartlett pear and Blond were big colors in the late 1990s and then in the early 2000, the grays came in and we have been veering toward Russia for a while and it's time to pull back from these dreary colors and get back to some sunshine and lollipops.

Gold is seeing a revival especially in fixtures. Gold is a warm color and the decor should be with warm tones, not cool tones. This look is a miss for me since I do not like gray in homes.

@jubilant It's God awful. I hate that color for anything -- home decor, clothing, etc.

I'd ditch that gold area rug and do one wall with gold...as an accent wall-color and not the whole room.

I like gold, but would do a dilute with the paint so that it isn't so intense. I'd skip this rug. A little goes a long way.

I really dislike the color gold, but it's not in my "pallete'.  I never liked it or orange for that matter.

I remember "Harvest Gold" in the 1960's.  Horrors!

I think 14K gold will always be a standard for jewelry from a money standpoint.

The Blond that was so popular back in the 1990s-2000 era was beautiful.  I think every decorator had in their homes unless they had Dry Sage.  Tone down the gold, go toward a softer mustard and do a rug with 'some" gold in it, but not gold overload.  I really HATE the gray color.
