Look! Layering Floral Patterns

Floral patterns can come off too prissy and prim, but we're intrigued by this blue room from our favorite magazine Sköna Hem. The wallpaper is a bit too Laura Ashley for us, but it seems less stuffy with all the eclectic pieces in this room. What do you think? Does this work for you? (And is it just us, or does the scale and perspective look like this room was staged in a dollhouse?)

ugh. it's too busy.

I feel like I'm being slowly strangled by leaves and vines.

Horrid.

yikes.

I like the three chairs, especially the one painted that pretty blue. The wall paper is too much for me, but the colors are pretty.

over kill

Its not my personal style, but I think that the white-painted furniture & mirror gives it a certain breezy flair that gilded-wood and dark wood would diminish.

If the curtains were full-length gauzy white panels, then perfect - if they were floral too, then it would be too heavy.

what a riot.
Not for me.
But well composed.

hurts my brain...

Not a fan of this look.

Y U C H ! and i don't think it works at all. it just looks like a mishmash.

I like it. But not for me--it's completely the opposite of me. It's kind of eccentric looking. Updated Victorian.

Gah! Too much!

Too much. I do like the white chair and the white frame, though.
