This one reminds me of this incredible luxe private home I stayed in in Puerto Rico once. It was very spare, with very little furniture, in an ancient building. The lines of the building, old wood in the walls and ceiling, incredibly thick walls covered in plaster or fresco material, and terra cotta tiles on the floor did all the talking.
I think what I like about this room is also that it feels personal. I have a deep relationship with some musical instruments, so I "read" them as being very speficially owned. I don't like the candelabras, they seem forced. I do like that red cabinet in the corner, because it's a bit out of place - again, specificity.
Audrey, What I am finding in these photos includes a white or light beige sofa, seating for 6 , white walls, pops of color, unique pieces, and a relationship from room to room for a cohesive look. There are many durable fabrics available through retailers and other sources. There are pieces available at all price points. We will explore this when we meet next.
This one, again it's got large dark-framed windows but otherwise enough white to balance the orangey floors. And the rugs are nice. I could live here too.
