Very nice except that lighting stuck between ceilimg beams.

Yup, my parents’ house also got that ceiling around 1980.

Echoes of the 70s are strong in this one…

The light fixture is a real distraction in an otherwise beautiful room. I’m sure it’s *not* a $75 fixture from World Market, but it definitely gives those vibes.

I like the light but I think the scale is too big for the room and other furniture. A bit smaller would look much better

This room is fantastic. I love it.

I’ve never seen such a huge fireplace, I love it

I was wondering if that was an Eames couch, I looked left, and yup, sho is. My adult, son who lives with me,has cats who would absolutely destroy them both. That is my excuse for not having these things and has nothing to do with cost, of course. Just the damn cats. And yes, the light fixture…does not work for me either.

what an amazingly cozy room
the cheap IKEA light in the middle is a disgrace to its surroundings, but you could easily and quickly replace that with something better

Feel like this house was in Killing Eve

Everyone hating on the ‘Ikea’ light in the living room. Having just clicked on the link to the interview with the architect’s daughter, the photo caption says it’s a Noguchi…

Nice room but not a fan of the light. Just don’t think it works in this space. It’s like all I see when I look at the room.

It’s completely subjective but I absolutely hate this. The ceiling light be damned there are 4 shades of brown contrasting with a charcoal fireplace, whatever the hell the shinbreaker step is meant to be. Everything is randomly scattered throughout and nothing makes sense with anything.

too bad they went with the beams, a cathedral ceiling without them would have looked better.

Anyone has any idea about how to find that couch? It’s such a piece of art!!
