Do You Think This Bedroom Works?

It's by the same ID who designed the kitchen in another thread.

    It makes the kitchen look fabulous!

    Like the kitchen, there's too much visual stimulation from patterns for me. At least this room appears functional while the kitchen really didn't, IMHO. I love that footboard. I wish I could see the headboard.

    Too heavy and cumbersome.

    I like it.

    No, I don't. I'm beginning to think it's people with a ton of money and no taste who hire these ID's to come up with these awful ideas. :(

    it's not the style I would have in my home, but I like the combinations of colors.

    "Do You Think This Bedroom Works?"

    For what?

  • palimpsest

    It would be fine without the weird half tester behind the bed.

  • joaniepoanie

    Nope, especially the heavy brown drapery behind the bed and the wallpaper is a little grandma-ish.

    Nope, does not work for me. Unless the theme is to cause nightmares! LOL

    I'm not a fan. I like the sitting area by the window, and the nightstands are nice. Otherwise, too busy and dark.

    This is a really messy removal of the half tester to show how one wrong element like the half tester can really derail a room. The rest is pretty pure chinoiserie or aesthetic movement japonisme (the bed).

    I love it! The only semi false note are the night stands, which would have been better in another color---- dark gold or Chinese red.

    The bed still looks like a torture chamber gig, and that lamp is frightful.... And that's just the beginning of the horror of that room. I am sad to know that folks pay for this kind of thing :-(

    The lamp is pure Chinoiserie, it is a Look, capital L, and a very stylish one at that.

  • palimpsest

    The lamps are blanc de Chine Quan Yin statues made into lamps and the bed is Aesthetic Movement bamboo pattern from the late 19th c. Plenty of people with money and taste will pay for that kind of thing.

    I am talking about the lamp ting above the bed! OMG - what IS that????

    It is a booby trap. Don't make your partner mad! I like the rest. Not the tester or the booby trap light. I don't like spider catchers over my head.

    Its a chinoiserie garden lantern in the Regency style, sort of like the Royal Brighton Pavilion. For good or bad, the room is stylistically consistent covering various periods of chinoiserie from the 19th to the 21st centuries.

    I like the lamp. Just not over the bed. I just wouldn't be able to sleep.

    My son is always making booby traps and I am tired so excuse my sad attempt at humor. :) luckily he is only 5 so they are pretty easy to spot!

    ha ha boopadaboo and Dit Toe!! I usually dig old garden decor, but not over my bed for g'ness sake. Pal, those are awesome descriptions and explanations to define the decor and theme. But none of them make it work for me :)

    I think it works in the sense that the same lines, angles and patterns are repeated throughout the room. It is functional.
    The color elements are used appropriately but overall, I don't like it. I think it's ugly.

    Removed pointless effort to discuss Chinoiserie ;-)

    I think it's probably John Rosselli:

    Back in the day before Chelsea House went bankrupt, they had marvelous Chinoiserie lanterns in metal and wood, with the most wonderful wooden tassels (the part that is usually string or yarn or ribbon was also wood, carved to look like a textile).

    I don't care for the scale of the lantern in the room. I would find another place for it. I like the bedside lamps, but the florals and yellow vases would have to go--I need more real estate on top of my nightstands.

    But the worst part of the room, IMO, is the window seat. If I'm in a bedroom with a good book, I'm in bed, not perched atop a 15-inch bench. The window seat adds nothing to the room, unless it's hiding ductwork of sorts.

    -I'd remove the curtain overhang thing behind the bed above all else.
    -Replace the flower pots with something less floral and less bulky shaped. Lucky bamboo might fit the room's theme.
    -The nightstands would look better shiny gold, even muted metallic gold.
    -The slanted portion of the wall would look better in an aged gold color, soft not bold (a color not far from the darker figures in the wallpaper pattern).
    -Also not a big fan of window seating unless as suggested it's hiding something, ducts/storage?
