Room for Color
This is an adult's room, elegant without being stuffy. It has a sense of class and sophistication. You don't get overwhelmed by color and pattern and I like that. I think it is more challenging to work with darks and cools and Madonna, in my opinion, has nailed it.
Close, but the back wall behind the sofa looks unfinished. The 'color' over the fireplace needs to be flipped 90 degrees or something else in it's place. Otherwise, not bad.
Love the gray, a bigger piece of artwork over the mantle would be nice. JMHO
Cool cozy. Nice balance.
The room is beautifully put together...but it's kind of boring. It kind of just looks like a show room that no one really lives in.
So many bitter remarks here... I love this room, the colors are great! Very subtle.
Thanks for the positive comments And constructive feedback!! Totally agree on space behind couch- we just moved to a new house so... Trying to take time to put the right pieces on the wall... And with regards to painting over mantel- my brother painted it before passing away... It carries my heart...we have a 1 and 4 year old. This room is lived in but by adults as the rest of our house is devoted to kids toys and mayhem;) thanks again hope you pick it as favorite!!!!
Very composed and serene room. Great job. What is the openwork piece on the couch in the first photo? I love it and I have no idea if it is a throw, a kid's toy, or a shawl.
It's a throw.. In2green. Awesome recycled materials company. Super cozy and stunning colored throws. Just google in2green thanks!
Nice!!
I really like this! Especially that it's not overworked. Please leave the art at the degree it is - it looks perfect!
