apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

We’re also always impressed by people who are able to make disparate styles feel right at home together. Even more so after all these examples of people who are not.

That first picture immediately made me think, "Ugh, get that mold off the walls!!"
Then I realized they actually WANT it to look like that..

So jealous of #4's interior architecture.

I wish my bedroom space was like #4 ....I second Berae on the jelousy...

everything about #5 speaks to me in a very good way. i love the restraint and the spare treatment of everything, from the tucked in comforter to the lack of anything directly over the center of the bed to the almost shapelessness of the two gray pillows.

#1 needs a keen editor. the barcelona chair just vanishes. for me i think i would want to strip the wallpaper off of every wall save one. maybe. and if the chair is to remain at the foot of the bed, something needs to happen to differentiate the two (color-wise).

Good. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks these rooms are not very good. They range from uninspired/bland to bad.

I like #5, particularly the pillows.

I like how the antique/vintage case goods can warm up the rather sterile rooms (see #5) But what struck me about most of the others is that a gorgeous old piece can make the rest of the stuff look like cheap veneer from Target. I'm sure the end tables in #4 are actually very classy. But that extremely gorgeous rug makes them and the Overstocks chair look kind of sad.

domicile interior design designed the ultimate traditional/modern bedroom in irvine, california. it's the perfect example!

When I first saw pic #1 I was immediately bummed to see that oak bed painted white. Obviously it works better that way for this room, but all I can see is the quartersawn oak that's probably underneath there.
