Before & After.

[LabelKing]

I'm a great fan of mixing, which the Before does well.

Changing the furniture to Togo, even in red, would have improved things. And who needs curtains?

the floors in the first picture are horrible. They look like the tiles i had in my kitchen at my last apartment. They do not mesh at all with the wood panelling, which I like as a general rule. The black couch is horrible, as are its cushions. I do'nt have a problem with red, but the execution there is terrible. Bright colors should be used in sparing quantities, imo. Different floors would go a long way to improving the room. I can't say that I like the after either. Both are bad.

The after is awful. It reminds me of so many boring cocktail parties.

The before is garish, probably due to the bright red.

The after is too stark.

I would take the before with a different palette.

FWIW, the Kuramata chair in the after is brilliant. One of the great pieces in the history of design.

No, the clear acrylic one with floating roses embedded in it:

[nootje]

You probably have to see one in person. It is an incredibly beautiful chair.

I think the before is wonderful.

Looks very uncomfortable.

Since I won't claim to be an expert in anything related to furniture design, maybe you could give us a few pointers as to why this is considered such an achievement.

I like the woodwork in the second, although I wouldn't have ebonized it. I hate the first.
