Favourite rooms of all time: Miles Redd living room

I'm back with a second installment of my 'Favourite Rooms of All Time" (did you see the first one?). This time, I thought I'd post about a living room that I saw back in 2009 in House Beautiful which I think is so moody, romantic and captivating. What do you think?

It's a NYC apartment for a fashion duo done by Miles Redd. I love the lacquered walls. They're so dark, but they reflect so much light that the room feels bright. And I love, love, love all the different colours going on. I love seeing rooms that aren't too matchy-matchy - that would get so boring after a while. This room implies to me that the homeowners chose items they loved rather than items that were strictly chosen to coordinate, and it so works. And the herringbone floors. Ah. Love!

What do you think? Do you like the dark walls? Would you dare? What about the colour combos? I'd love to know your thought.
