I see warm, soft, cozy, and casual rooms with interesting things to look at. I see neutrals paired with blues, green, and deep reds. I see traditional styles in the sofas and chairs, mixed with smaller eclectic pieces in reclaimed wood and/or wicker, along with a few painted and carved accent pieces. I see a layering of accessories like pillows, blankets, plants, flowers, bowls, photos, and books. I also see small pieces of art hung in groups, rather than large pieces. I think our taste is similar. I could happily live in any one of those rooms.

Oh, simple, they are all rooms I would like!

I did not read the post above, because I did not want to be influenced.

The look is timeless collected.

What i see is: neutral walls, furniture pieces and WT, without any real pops of color (where color is used it is muted). In most cases, a fairly "busy" persian style rug, but in colors softened with age. A fair amount of wood, be it beams, floors, or furniture. Aged leather in several shots. A collected look, with books, paintings, and objet d'art. Some antique or patina items, different textures (baskets, wicker, antlers, shells, brick). Many muntined windows; solid WT and thin dark iron rods.

Love it. Frankly to me, outside of a few rare talents, these types of rooms are always the most successful. ANd they naturally and easily evolve over time.

I think your taste is to evoke a feeling of calm and consistency with elements that remind you of nature. You like a lot of unpainted wood, plants, wicker, depictions of animals, and even driftwood. The bare window does not offend you. You do not want any jarring contrasts. Every element seems to flow into the next element soothingly.

The photo labeled Vintage Renewal Loft does not fit with the others, to me at least.

Love them:
neutral soft colors, blues, greens, cream; casual/comfortable but classy furniture, non-matching, nothing ornate; texture, i.e. wood that's not polished, bamboo blinds, basket; some antiques, leather, and books!

This room doesn't seem to fit in the sequence, in my opinion

I see casual, put your feet up, comfortable living. Rooms filled with favourite things gathered over time. In some though it feels "busy"

Definitely my taste, too. In fact, I have the same "Cozy Living Room" pic (#3) saved in my files too! I love that room. I'd call the style eclectic, earthy, but with a dash of elegance (but not so much that the rooms feel fussy). Definitely comfortable -- I see comfy chairs and sofas, nice big pillows, throws.

The last two seem quite a bit more beachy than the others. And I noticed that they're the only ones that have matching end tables! To me, those are the ones that don't quite belong with the group.

Thank you for your insights; they are quite accurate. I have been struggling with a few things.

First, every room I posted has quite a light, neutral paint color. Yet, I've been considering painting the LR in a dark olive, camel, or brown color (Brainstorm Bronze is a contender.)

Second, I have always preferred neutral, muted colors, but lately I am so drawn to apple green, turquoise, teals, pear green. Maybe this is a passing phase.

Third, the photos I am most drawn to have beams, built-ins, lots of molding, beadboard, shiplap, beautiful traditional muntin divided windows, rock fireplaces, etc. All of which I don't have in my LR!

Emmarene and Palimpsest, yes, that room is an outlier. It is more of what I've been attracted to most recently. Here's another few rooms along those lines-

In the outlier - if you take out the blue drapes and carpet you have the other rooms. You could also say that the Dombroski residence (pic #4) is also an outlier because of the stronger paint colour. The blue room did worry me because of it's strong colour while all the others were muted. This is something that only you can sort out.

My suspicion is that you do want some colour in the room but more than splashes of colour from accessories can offer you.

Before I read anyone else's comments. I see traditional, neutrals, low-contrasts, big windows and textures, especially basket/woven texture.

I see comfortable; a living room that is lived in. A loose collection of items that have special meaning to you and yours. Not a ton of contrast between walls/bigger ticket items but with punches of colour here and there.

I see a satisfying, strong sense of balance in each of these rooms. Edited to add: in almost every image, from the camera angle!

A number of the rooms have a small/child's chair.

Lots of loose pillows and throws.

Fabric upholstery, almost no leather.

Lack of sharp corners, trunks as coffee tables, furniture is "sturdy."

Comfortable level of clutter.

Very nice!

I love the first bath - who wouldn't - but not the second. Except the second in the second batch, which looks like the first.

Got that?

Lots of texture (wicker, leather, wood, various fabrics). Most have persian style rugs in autumn colors. Most have baskets. Most are are layered look.

Regarding your suddenly being drawn to turquoise/apple green/teal, etc. I'm curious if you've recently traveled to a place that had a lot of those colors. I've always favored neutrals but after a first-time trip to Bermuda I came back to my New England home craving the vivid bright hues I'd seen there. I ended up painting the front door of my grey stained clapboard house a coral/salmon color. That scratched the itch, but I'm glad I didn't take it any further ;)

Amck2, no recent travels for me, unfortunately. I think it's more related to midlife crisis/indecisive cravings for change :-)

I see rooms that are relaxed with a fair amount of clutter, neutral walls, some color, some rustic elements. All have casual elements from wicker to pillows to throws and printed area rugs.

Modern classic country *comfort* . You see the beauty of patina and feel the joy of an objects happy prior life.

I have not read the other comments. What I saw as the common element in all of the inspiration photos was lots of big windows. In the rooms where there were no windows visible, the room still seemed to have lots of light. The outlier for my observation was Morningside Bungalow.

Now I'll go see what others had to say.
