The color on the wall gives the room an old dated feeling.
I am not a fan of rugs in general, so I would get rid of all the rugs and have wood. If I loved the gold, I would add a few more touches here and there and accent with it. The walls and rug were overkill.
The walls look like a mustard color to me. I don't care for the blue/ gray color of the sofa at all. I don't think a pale gold has ever been out of style...I especially like a pale gold with almost any shade of blue
@godi To me, there were a lot of charming things in this room. I would probably go a few shades lighter on the walls but it definitely looks like someone put things they loved into it. It's not cookie-cutter...instead...it reflects someone with a passion for things they like. I think there is something to be said for that!
I think "they" (Designers, etc.) are trying to bring back the gold but there are still too many of us around that remember the colors from the 70's and I for one do not want gold ever again! Now I love tans and taupes and whites but harvest gold and spring blossom green can jump in a lake. OH, and yellow. OMG something happens to me in a yellow kitchen and it's not pretty......
