I like the room mostly .. however, the ugly orange chairs would be the first out the door!  Second to go are all the floor lamps. I'd remove/replace a few other items also.  I like the blinds & sofas.

Thanks for sharing.

I'm not a fan, and they don't look very comfy.  I want a nice puffy chair with ottoman or modified wing chair.  These remind me of right out of the box IKEA furniture.  Love the sofas ...

The room defintely needs a pop or two of color,  and these orange chairs provide that. So from that perspective I like them. But they don't look very comfortable .... so that woule be a deal-breaker for me.

They definitely are out of place in that particular type of decorating.  Too casual and they just sock you right in the face!  If they were in a casual game room or something they might be o.k.

Or cat. No elegant room is ever "finished" without one.

Well-- I like the shape and .......maybe.....the color would be good in a game room????  needs to be a toned down orange for that room or just another color. I am all about a pop of color in a room but orange is not one I would pick

Among the aforementioned tweaking I'd do, the floor lamps, mushrooms, rug, television and those particular orange chairs all better run and hide... As for orange chairs, perhaps one of these would be a better choice...

Orange is a very strong color and should be used sparingly in decor.  When first looking at the photo all I saw was the orange which competed negatively with the white sofas and other room colors.  IMO orange can work well in a large family room depending on furniture placement and other colors used.  It appears to me this photo is a living room.  But maybe not ...

I love orange but agree, depending on how it's used, a little can go a long way. In the room above, I'd choose the second chair option pictured, perhaps with an ottoman, and have only one orange chair. If another chair is needed, I'd find something more neutral that would also complement the overall room scheme. Of course, they seem to be going for pairs and symmetry, so the overall furniture arrangement would have to shift.

I must be in the minority, because I don't like a single thing about that room.  However, I suspect my cats would like the orange chairs.  (Sadly, they'll never get the chance to find out.)
