BTW, styling is just setting up a room for a photo shoot. Decorating is optimizing a room for the way you live. I don't see the point in people hiring stylists for rooms. Thanks for writing in - love the colors of your flat! -s Noam,

Anyway, when they presented it in Nisha it was actually quite cool, because it was a) meant to be cheap, b) especially with the kitchen they used what was already there and revamped it and c) they sourced everything and showed how they did it. I was not mad about the end result, but the process of before and after was actually very nice.

If these are actual living spaces that poeple live in, then I think they are cold and uninviting and certainly do not warrent good interior design. I always hated the color coordinated matching thing that goes on in many homes, I agree with Shira that these rooms look more like showroom displays than lived in environments. Ho Hum...

I also like the first room for the colors. I secretly love that green pink and orange color combination. I love it especially for baby and todler things. I would have loved to have had the first living room when I was in my 20's in Tel-Aviv. But just for the summer. I think it would be odd being in a room like that in winter. I also agree that except for the first picture thier rooms look showroomy and a little bland (you haven't gotten to thier kitchens which I really don't like). I agree with this post.
