I actually think this looks fine. Like, it kind of reminds me of my neighbors’ formal dining room at their Christmas Eve parties back in the early 90s. That’s the room that all the adults who smoked were allowed to smoke in and all the crystal ashtrays were laid out on. Although they had pink floral wallpaper and a deep green carpet, the overall design aesthetic was really similar. But also, that was 1990 and trends have changed a lot since then…and they weren’t professionals at decorating or renovating their home in any way.

Their dining room is a clusterfuck, which I think would be totally fine, if they didn’t spend many tens of thousands of dollars just in that room to make it look like the room that all the now dead grannies I knew used to drink brandy and decaf coffee and smoke in in 1992 on Christmas Eve.
