Look – I’m all for the accent pillow. But those looks like big pats of butter. Maybe if they were in different prints – something bold and graphic… Anything would be better than all of that solid yellow.
And the thing hanging from the ceiling? I find it creepy…it brings to mind The Blair Witch Project. But it does work well with the stump-like things that I think are supposed to serve as coffee tables. Not that I’d risk resting a beverage on any of them.
I have admitted before that modern interiors don’t usually speak to me – but I can appreciate a well appointed room. Perhaps if this one didn’t look so stuffed full of white upholstery…a less crowded arrangement would make better use of the light. Then maybe it would hold more appeal for me.
No – I’d still hate that twig thing. Though at the very least, I’d take a “to each his own” attitude.
But hey – this “expert” opinion comes from someone with no design background and a house furnished primarily in hand-me-downs from generous parents…so it doesn’t hold very much weight. What about you? What do you think?
Disclaimer: I promise that in future, I will spew my amateur opinions as infrequently as possible since this is not a site devoted to critique (and uninformed critique at that). But every once in a while I will feel compelled to do this. When I do though, I will always invite the real experts to speak up and set me straight.
Hmmm…yeah, I don't really get this either. I'm with YOU, sister!
The pillows don't do anything for the room other than make it look odd.
I don't get it either. And modern does normally speak to me. But this one just says BLAH.
Aside from all the bad things in the room, I do love the wooden doors on each side of the fireplace!
The most comfortless room I've ever seen. First you have to sidle into the room in the 12" of space between the sofas and the "coffee tables", then you have your choice of 2 seating options – the chairs flanking the fireplace which have you sitting bolt upright or the sofas which are canted so far back you are almost lying down (except for that big lump of yellow butter jammed right against you putting you in an awkward half-lying down arched back position. Then you can prop your feet up on the comfy stumps and settle in for a cozy chat! Not even the magic of yellow can save this room!
That's one of the big things from design school: appreciating other styles — although this has never been my strong suit :)
While I wouldn't want this to be in my own home, I actually like this room. It's well-proportioned, and I like how it's staged so that the yellow pillows read like one element of color to your eye. I bet the light fixture is amazing when it's lit at night. The only thing that jumps out to me is the slipcovers on the sofas!
But you're right, there are plenty of other interior projects to publish that would be more captivating than this one!
I like the pillows.. but past that.. ehh
I love modern interiors, but this isn't really doing it for me. Thanks for the Blair Witch image. She says as she shudders.
the twig thing is AWFUL –
i agree.
I'm okay with the yellow, but the twig thing is bad, bad, bad.
