apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

(imho) seems a little "luxury hotel"... resulting in a "nice place to visit, but wouldn't want to live there" vibe for me...

Totally disagree. The treatment provides warmth and a nice design element that doesn't compete with the furnishings. Nicely executed.

I'm with Redneck. My first thought was also "hotel," although I disagree slightly about the level of luxury it conveys. Really this doesn't look that different from the Motel 6 design competition results...

To me it looks a bit like wood paneling, which I happen to love despite its bad "outdated" rep. So, bravo.

Adding art to the walls might make the overall effect more luxurious, or at least make the room feel more personal.

I think it's pretty. Adding simple but eye appealing interest to a wall. I'd like to see how it would look in vertical segments instead of the whole wall. Does that make sense?

Reminds me of the gradient stripe "murals" from the lounges of the dormitories when I went to college. What passes for "cool and zippy" when the state decides your color scheme!

I think its pretty too. I also love the chairs , can anybody tell me where i can find those?

very soothing..

The chairs are gorgeous. I believe they are from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
