| Answer:
Decorating in general is a subjective art and what pleases one person's eye doesn't work for someone else, but I know NO guidelines of good decorating or taste that would incorporate so many strong colors in such large doses all in one space. It would be very hard to relax and not be dizzy in a space like you describe. But it's your house and you're the one that needs to be happy with it. |

| Answer:
I have to agree that the color combination is a bit much. If you were to tone it down this would allow your desired themes to better stand out. Better suggestions could then be given to acheive this look.. |
