Beautiful bones in that room.  Throw everything else out and start over.

Rug, Wall color. Furniture, Strike three, yer out!!

Meant to mention, while the fireplace is impressive, regardless of the colors, overall, I'm not a big fan of this room. I don't hate it, but I wouldn't want to copy it.

On my laptop screen it looks more mustard than gold.  I don't like either.

I don't like the room and cannot abide that fireplace or gray color.  It makes me have heebie jeebies.  It looks like a faux marble.

@Sooneret al, when I built my house I chose what I thought were great colours.  I walked into it while under construction and painters had started.  The colour for the main area was called historic tan.  OMG I nearly fainted.  It was the ugliest colour...like dark mustard yellow.  I pulled my DH into a side room and we agreed on the spot to change the colour.  We used the bedroom colours instead and I loved that choice.  I can tell you, that was an swful feeling.

This photo reminds me of that bad colour choice. 

I also will be so happy when grey goes out of style.  Not a fan.  LM

I don't care for the gold at all.  

I changed from gold to gray a couple or three years ago and love it.

It's true that warmer colors have made their way back and are going strong, @jubilant .  But in this picture, I don't know, to me the walls are an unfortunate shade of gold-- too brassy and aggressive, I think.   And then they repeated the error with that rug.

It also doesn't harmonize in any way with the cooler colors.

It's a good room, and I keep thinking there are so many OTHER, preferable warm shades that could give it vitality...

I actually don't mind the paint color and the rug but I don't care for this furniture with it.  I would go for softer muted (dare I say "more neutral") colored furniture with a few prints in pillows and accessories to incorporate the gold color.

Decorator needs to take a refresher course: the colors are not harmonious. 

There is something strange about the rug: looks as though it is made of strips of wood joined together.

Whoever has to open / close the shutters needs to move furniture or the lamp to get to them and to return from them.

Bad design....

I think I would use that shade of gold extremely sparingly.  Although I don't really care for the color (or the room in general), I like the use of both warm and cool tones.  They balance the room.
