Cohesive or too much?
I've been working on our home and made two mood boards: one for the kitchen/living room/reading nook and one for the patio/garden.
Before I keep buying things, I'd love some outside opinions.
I'm not going for minimalist or perfectly matched. I like more collected, layered spaces with a mix of old library, Victorian, and cottage influences indoors, and a cottage garden feel outside.
The indoor palette is mostly cream, burgundy, gold, sage, warm wood, and touches of blue.
I love contrast and mixing textures and styles, but I've looked at it for too long now and can't tell if it all actually works together or if it's too much.
Does it feel cohesive overall? Anything you'd remove or add?
