I quite like the layout of this room, but I think it’s a shame that the kitchen is along one edge in a straight line. Possibly some island counters or something would’ve helped make it look more usable and interesting. I quite like the colour scheme but the retro patterns are a little busy for my taste. I’m also not keen on the counters and some of the walls being made of the same wood. Variation can be fun! You made the door fit well in the room, but placing the screen next to a wall seemed odd to me – I would’ve used it as a room divider, it seemed a bit pointless having it against a wall.
I like how you mixed the wooden pattern with the green colour palette, but the bright flooring combined with that wallpaper makes the whole room look a little busy. A simple wood or linoleum flooring would work better. The decorations are nicely placed and fit the theme, great job.
I like the color of kitchen cabinets, but I think that wooden wall behind them not going very well. It is unrealistic to have wood behind stove. Also, floor and wall patterns clash. If you use pattern on wall, try something simpler on the floor.

I like the layout of this room – it looks practical and nice looking and I like the idea of having a bar in there. I’m not keen on the screen being against a wall though – it looks out of place and rather pointless to me having it there as it’s not doing anything. Unfortunately you didn’t include an uncluttered counter – pity! The colour scheme is nice despite being extremely muted, but I think that it could have used some splashes of colour other than the signs over the bar. The door fits well with the colour scheme you picked though.
You used many gray wood patterns in this room, but some of them are slightly different colour and don't mix together well (the floor and the wall wood colors). The wooden framing of the pictures on the wall is red-brown and it looks a little off compared to the rest of the room as there is no brown or red wood used on anything else. I'm also a little concerned about the Sim's routing around the table as there seems to be a very small space between the chair and the counter. Besides that, I love what you did with the bar and the windows - the kitchen looks very creative and unique.
I like the layout of the room. Colors are simple and it works well. Which I dont like is the carpet in the kitchen. You dont have empty counter, so I gave 9 score for requirements.

I adore this layout – it looks like the kind of kitchen I’d like to have in RL. The sideboard/cabinet with the plates is a nice touch too. I’m not sure why the gas canisters (if that’s what they are – the things underneath the horse picture) are there though, and I totally don’t understand what you were trying to do with the divider – why is it in mid-air?! I do like your colour scheme – the soft blue goes well with the browns and the door works well with the overall effect. I also like the fact that you used a mix of woods and made it work!
I love the old-fashioned country design you used, it looks very authentic and cozy. The corner with the china is my favorite part, it adds more realism to the layout and furnishing. The door colour could be a little darker, it looks too bright compared to the dark wood of the counters. I'm not sure what you tried to do with the partition though.
I lovee this. Layout is very good and I like what you did with partition. Colors are working very well. It is a beautiful old fashioned kitchen. Good job.

You used the screen as an actual divider! Yay! I’m very pleased to see that. It made sense in the room and didn’t look like it was only in there because it had to be. I like the rest of the layout too, but I would’ve liked to have seen a more spacious kitchen area. I like the colour scheme too – green is a nice colour for a kitchen and it works well with the white and grey – and the door seems to go well with it, though it’s hard to tell as it’s not directly visible on any of your pictures apart from the overhead. I’m not keen on the brick-effect wallpaper though – it’s very busy and makes that space look crowded and it also wasn’t clear to me if it was meant to be bricks or wallpaper with a brick print.
The green you used in this room is very bright, a little less contrasted green would look more natural on the bricks. The back wall of green bricks looks more like plastic than actual brick because of that. The partition also looks a tad weird when placed in the middle of the room.
I think you have too much of green colors. Green stone wall in dining area looks a litlle unrealistic and its clash with stone wall in kitchen area. I like curtain pattern and colors, but it will look prettier on one color wall.

It’s always nice to see the screen used well in a room! I like the fact that you used it as a divider, but it does look a bit odd to me as it doesn’t line up with the change in floorings. I do like the layout and though it’s in a small corner the kitchen area has quite a spacious feel to it. I see that you used two identical paintings again – that still looks odd to me. I’m not fond of the colour scheme – the salmon pink doesn’t work for me, especially on the counters, but the door matches it well. I also don’t like the marble effect walls – they look out of place in a kitchen.
The layout looks really nice and simple for Sims to navigate, but the placement of mirror and partition doesn't quite fit with it. I don't think I've ever seen a mirror like that used in the kitchen, since it's quite big and too fancy looking. You also placed it above the stove, which in real life would be very unpractical due to the steam and heat from cooking. The choice of wall covering is also very unusual.
I dont like mirror in the kitchen. You used too much of red. Red is a strong color to use on every furniture and walls.

The kitchen area looks quite cramped to me given how much empty space there is in the rest of the room. I would’ve liked to have seen more deco too – as the curtain rule seems to only take effect from Round 3 onwards you did have the 8 items, but with all the money left over why not buy some paintings or something too?! The screen doesn’t seem to make much sense in a corner like that – it’s not really doing much. I’m not keen on the wallpaper as it makes the room seem very dark and cramped but I do like the red/pink accent colour and the different woods – though the door doesn’t really fit with them.
The colour scheme looks rather chaotic - I like the gray & red wood combination on the counters, but the rest of the room doesn't quite fit. The wall and floor colours match each other, but doors, counter tops an the appliances don't. Also, the room looks quite empty.
Try to use more furniture, Your dining area as a little empty and small kitchen area have much more furniture. You have many different wood colors which are not going very well together. The brown wall and green/blue oven clash with redwood kitchen.

I quite like the layout of this room – the kitchen is small but doesn’t look too cramped, the dishes cabinet is a nice touch and there is plenty of space to sit and eat. The screen, however, looks very out of place and like it’s just been plonked down in a corner. And why no windows?! I like the idea of the colour scheme but it’s worked out rather dark and it makes the room look smaller. If you’d made the walls lighter (and not logs) I would’ve loved it! The wood on the objects is nice, the door matches well and the red and white checks are cheerful.
I like the theme you picked for this room, it definitely makes it stand out in a good way. The wallpaper looks great, but it's colour doesn't match the floor and furniture colours. You used a lot of different wooden patterns in one room and they don't mix with each other very well. Great choice of furniture and decorations though.
It is neat and simple. I dont like the wood behind the stove. It is flammable.
Jaguwar
Interesting idea! I like the layout, especially the little living area and the little details like the cuddly toys sitting on three of the dining chairs! The kitchen area is small but practical and the screen is used as a divider which is sensible. Is the sitting area raised slightly? It’s hard to tell from the pictures. The colour scheme is nice too. On the overhead the floor looks a bit dark but it works well in the sim-level photos. The door matches nicely with the rest of the room, which is good. Overall I really like this room.
I love the idea of this room, very original and creative. The room looks well executed, you've managed to match the furniture and the playful colours together without making it look off. The attention to details is impressive. The room looks more like a child's play room, but I guess Sim's with the childish trait would love it.
It is very pretty and nice. Colors working very well. It is a beautiful kitchen for children, but it is little unrealistic to have kitchen like that in real life. Anyway, good job.

I quite like this layout – the kitchen is small but looks nice and the screen is used to divide the kitchen from the dining area, which I think works well. I’m not keen on the use of two different floor coverings though, it looks a bit odd to me. There is also quite a bit of empty space by the door. I like the colour scheme, but the use of different woods for the kitchen counters and the dining room furniture looks strange to me – it splits the room more than I think was necessary. Also, the door doesn’t really match either area, which is a shame. The use of a tiled work surface and a tiled kitchen floor also doesn’t really work for me.
Lots of different colours and shades don't mix well, for example - the different shades of blue on the walls, fridge and counters make the colour scheme look a little chaotic. Same goes for the brown on the floor and counter tiles. The partition placed in the middle of the room looks like an unnecessary detail to me, as a required piece it would look better somewhere against the wall or in the corner.
I think that wood color is not going very well with the blue. You have too much shades of blue. Try use colors tat go with other colors ou used.

I quite like the layout of this room. Despite the kitchen being small it doesn’t look cramped. I’m not convinced by the sink though, I would’ve preferred to see one in a counter, and I think that the stove would’ve looked better in the middle along that wall rather than in a corner. Nice use of the screen as a divider – I approve! I like the colour scheme with the exception of the wallpaper – too dark and too busy for my liking. Makes the room look smaller. The door matches the rest of the room well. I am especially fond of the turquoise.
I love the colour scheme, but the dim lighting does not show it at it's best - I would either add more lights or lighten the wallpaper a bit. The turquoise mixed with a brown never looked so good before, especially on that dining table with chairs, great job! The corner between the doors and the big flower looks a little empty though.
I really like colors of counters and chairs, but I dont think they are going very well with the pattern on the wall. The room is looking very dark. Try use some lighter colors.
Tamlyn
I love this layout! Using the screen to divide the room and keep the bins out of sight is a great idea, and I like the placing of your kitchen and the way the dining area looks. I like the wallpaper with oranges on it – was a shame that you used it in an area with so many windows really as I would’ve liked to have seen it more! The light wood on the counters and the dining furniture looks a bit odd, almost glowy. Other than that I like your colour scheme and I think it works well in a kitchen. The door also fits in well with the room.
I like the placement of the counters, it makes a good use of the diagonal walls in that part of the room. However, these particular counters do not stack together diagonally very well, the half of the drawers seem to be cut off, which looks very weird. The colour scheme looks overly bright and orange, the heavy lighting you used in the room doesn't really help. A little less contrasted orange and less bright lighting would fix that.
I like the layout. I think its too much similar colors (orange, brown-orange). You could use some different colors on the walls or floors. I dont like how the counters look from sim view, stove is going in the counters and the drawers are not looking very good. Other than that, good job.
Daluved1
I like your layout – the island counters are a good addition to what otherwise would’ve been a very straightforward kitchen as they make it look pretty cool! The screen is used as a divider to screen off a little reading area – a nice idea which I would love to be able to incorporate into a real life kitchen (you know, one day, when I win the lottery or something….). I must admit that the knife block looks scary in the middle of the room like that – my first thought when I saw it was “Burglars could easily get at those!”. More of a real life issue than a sims issue though! The colour scheme is lovely – very peaceful and relaxing – and the door matches it well. You commented that you love your kitchen design, well, so do I!
I absolutely adore the layout - the creative use of the furniture is amazing. I'm surprised how you managed to put the kitchen, the dining room and the little reading corner in one place and keep it under the budget. No criticism from me this time.
I like this. Those little tables are just adorable. I think you could use more darker wood in the dining area.
sharill63
The layout of your room is nice, though the kitchen area looks a bit cramped. The use of the screen to hide a lamp seems odd to me, I’m not sure what the point of it is. It would’ve made more sense to me in the place where the big plant(s) is/are. I’m still not keen on your colour scheme – the browns and yellows are a bit harsh and jarring to me, but it does look quite warm and cosy and the door works well with it.
The choice of furnishing is lovely - the room looks very cozy and well composed. The colour scheme is a little too orange for my taste, but they seem to be balanced out with a good lighting. I'm not sure about the two big flowers in the middle of the room, they look a little out of place there.
I like floorplan and a little shelf underneath the window. You could use some lighter colors on the walls, not having a whole room in the same brown tone.
Buckley
I like the layout of your room – such a shame that you moved the door though! I subtracted quite a few points from the Fun part for that. The kitchen area is also rather small. Nice to see the screen used as a divider, that works well. I love the colour scheme – you’re good at colour schemes – especially the curtains and the way all the woods work together. The door goes well with the colour scheme.
Amazing layout, looks very well executed and comfortable for Sims to navigate. I love the flooring and the walls you used, both in colour scheme and pattern choice. The turquoise on the furniture doesn't fit well with the soft green on the wall, I would have loved to have seen them in the same shade of green this time. I looks like you moved the door, which is against the requirements, so a point was taken from there.
Beautiful. I really like everything in this room, except pattern on the curtains. They are too colorful and clash with dining chairs patter. Except that, perfect room.
leriety
Very nice layout – I’d love to have a sofa in my kitchen in real life, just perfect for the odd nap whilst waiting for stuff to cook! The kitchen area is small but doesn’t look cramped. Using the screen as a divider is a good idea and it doesn’t look out of place in the room. I quite like the colour scheme but I’m not sure about the floor or the wallpaper – both are rather busy and I think that something simpler might have worker better. The door goes well with the rest of the room.
The room looks a little chaotic - the couch here is an unnecessary item in my opinion, it makes the room look like a living room rather than a kitchen. The furniture choice seems quite random, but the colour scheme is quite nice. The colour on the floor tiles is too dark and contrasted compared to the rest of the room, but besides that - the room looks great.
I think you have too much different patterns here. You can use colorful pattern for floor or wall, but not for both.
Myshia
I quite like the layout of this room, though the kitchen area is rather small and looks a bit cramped (maybe because of the dark wood). I’m also not fond of the way the dining table and the rug are at odd angles. The screen should look strange so close to a wall like that but I actually quite like it. The lizard makes it work somehow! The colour scheme is OK but the wallpapers are a bit busy (and there are rather a lot of different ones) and the door doesn’t seem to quite match any of the woods.
I love the bay window and the terrarium, they add a lot of uniqueness to the room's design. The colour scheme is contrasted, the yellow seems very bright and the red very dark. The space around the fridge could use some better lighting.
The first picture is beautiful. I think you little overdo with the reddish tone. I dont like that table is moved in side and color of the fridge clash with kitchen.
Menaceman44
I quite like the layout of your room, though the kitchen area is quite small but without being cramped. The screen doesn’t make sense to me by the window – why would you want it there, blocking out light? The colour scheme is nice and quite calm. I like the green and I don’t think it’s overdone at all. The door goes well with the rest of the room.
I like the colour scheme very much, it's very soft and well matched. The furniture choice is also great and the decorations fit the room well. The partition placement is not the best, but it still doesn't look off. Nice work.
I dont like that wooden cabinet. It is not fit here, not with color or the style. You use green and beige in entire room, you could use some accents in different color.

I like the layout. The kitchen area is quite small though, but not too cramped. The use of the screen as a room divider to separate the desk area from the rest of the room is a good idea. I’m not keen on the colour scheme though – it’s very busy and I would’ve preferred to see less different animal prints and to see them used as accents rather than everywhere. The fridge especially doesn’t look right to me. It would’ve been nice to see some other colours as well as black and white too. The door does match the colour scheme well though.
I usually like modern designs, but the zebra patterns and completely black walls are a little too much for me. The room looks very busy now. The colour scheme is overly contrasted, the black could be a few tones lighter and the use of zebra patterns reduced.
I really like the floor plan and that you incorporate table for six. All those animal prints are too much and it is not looking very good. I think one animal pattern would be enough.
StardustX
I like the layout, even though the kitchen area is a bit on the small side. The screen is sort of half dividing the room and half against a wall, but it looks OK. Much to my surprise I quite like your colour scheme. On the overhead the counter and cabinet tops looked rather busy and overpowering but they work quite well from sim-view level. I also like the wall coverings that you’ve used. The door matches well with the rest of the room.
A very cozy and cute kitchen design, I love the flowery pattern on the counters. The light brown wood goes well with the soft green, so you did a great job on the colour scheme. The fridge and the stove colours could be matched too and the lighting could be a bit brighter.
Layout is good, but I dont like that he whle room is in green and yellow tone. You should use brighter colors on the walls.
Solventpost
I’m not a big fan of the layout – the way the kitchen counters stick out into the room looks odd to me, especially when you could’ve used the space on the other side of the room. The screen looks odd. That’s it on the shelf, right? Is it smaller than it was originally? From your pictures it’s very hard to see what you’ve done with it, a least for me. Your colour scheme is OK. I like the brick walls but I’m not as keen on the wooden ones. It doesn’t seem very cohesive – there’s nothing drawing the room together. The door goes fairly well with the other woods though.
Very creative use of the parting, I had to spend a few minutes to find it in the room and that's good - because it means that you've incorporated it with the room perfectly. The layout seems nice and the colour scheme is okay - the red looks quite contrasted when used with light wood patterns. Great job.
I dont like colors you use. Everything is too brownish. I like what you did with partition.

Try to use more furniture, Your dining area as a little empty and small kitchen area have much more furniture. You have many different wood colors which are not going very well together. The brown wall and green/blue oven clash with redwood kitchen.

The screen, however, looks very out of place and like it’s just been plonked down in a corner. And why no windows?! I like the idea of the colour scheme but it’s worked out rather dark and it makes the room look smaller. If you’d made the walls lighter (and not logs) I would’ve loved it! The wood on the objects is nice, the door matches well and the red and white checks are cheerful.
I like the theme you picked for this room, it definitely makes it stand out in a good way. The wallpaper looks great, but it's colour doesn't match the floor and furniture colours. You used a lot of different wooden patterns in one room and they don't mix with each other very well. Great choice of furniture and decorations though.
It is neat and simple. I dont like the wood behind the stove. It is flammable.

Interesting idea! I like the layout, especially the little living area and the little details like the cuddly toys sitting on three of the dining chairs! The kitchen area is small but practical and the screen is used as a divider which is sensible. Is the sitting area raised slightly? It’s hard to tell from the pictures. The colour scheme is nice too. On the overhead the floor looks a bit dark but it works well in the sim-level photos. The door matches nicely with the rest of the room, which is good. Overall I really like this room.
I love the idea of this room, very original and creative. The room looks well executed, you've managed to match the furniture and the playful colours together without making it look off. The attention to details is impressive. The room looks more like a child's play room, but I guess Sim's with the childish trait would love it.
It is very pretty and nice. Colors working very well. It is a beautiful kitchen for children, but it is little unrealistic to have kitchen like that in real life. Anyway, good job.

I quite like this layout – the kitchen is small but looks nice and the screen is used to divide the kitchen from the dining area, which I think works well. I’m not keen on the use of two different floor coverings though, it looks a bit odd to me. There is also quite a bit of empty space by the door. I like the colour scheme, but the use of different woods for the kitchen counters and the dining room furniture looks strange to me – it splits the room more than I think was necessary. Also, the door doesn’t really match either area, which is a shame. The use of a tiled work surface and a tiled kitchen floor also doesn’t really work for me.
Lots of different colours and shades don't mix well, for example - the different shades of blue on the walls, fridge and counters make the colour scheme look a little chaotic. Same goes for the brown on the floor and counter tiles. The partition placed in the middle of the room looks like an unnecessary detail to me, as a required piece it would look better somewhere against the wall or in the corner.
I think that wood color is not going very well with the blue. You have too much shades of blue. Try use colors tat go with other colors ou used.

I quite like the layout of this room. Despite the kitchen being small it doesn’t look cramped. I’m not convinced by the sink though, I would’ve preferred to see one in a counter, and I think that the stove would’ve looked better in the middle along that wall rather than in a corner. Nice use of the screen as a divider – I approve! I like the colour scheme with the exception of the wallpaper – too dark and too busy for my liking. Makes the room look smaller. The door matches the rest of the room well. I am especially fond of the turquoise.
I love the colour scheme, but the dim lighting does not show it at it's best - I would either add more lights or lighten the wallpaper a bit. The turquoise mixed with a brown never looked so good before, especially on that dining table with chairs, great job! The corner between the doors and the big flower looks a little empty though.
I really like colors of counters and chairs, but I dont think they are going very well with the pattern on the wall. The room is looking very dark. Try use some lighter colors.

I love this layout! Using the screen to divide the room and keep the bins out of sight is a great idea, and I like the placing of your kitchen and the way the dining area looks. I like the wallpaper with oranges on it – was a shame that you used it in an area with so many windows really as I would’ve liked to have seen it more! The light wood on the counters and the dining furniture looks a bit odd, almost glowy. Other than that I like your colour scheme and I think it works well in a kitchen. The door also fits in well with the room.
I like the placement of the counters, it makes a good use of the diagonal walls in that part of the room. However, these particular counters do not stack together diagonally very well, the half of the drawers seem to be cut off, which looks very weird. The colour scheme looks overly bright and orange, the heavy lighting you used in the room doesn't really help. A little less contrasted orange and less bright lighting would fix that.
I like the layout. I think its too much similar colors (orange, brown-orange). You could use some different colors on the walls or floors. I dont like how the counters look from sim view, stove is going in the counters and the drawers are not looking very good. Other than that, good job.

I like your layout – the island counters are a good addition to what otherwise would’ve been a very straightforward kitchen as they make it look pretty cool! The screen is used as a divider to screen off a little reading area – a nice idea which I would love to be able to incorporate into a real life kitchen (you know, one day, when I win the lottery or something….). I must admit that the knife block looks scary in the middle of the room like that – my first thought when I saw it was “Burglars could easily get at those!”. More of a real life issue than a sims issue though! The colour scheme is lovely – very peaceful and relaxing – and the door matches it well. You commented that you love your kitchen design, well, so do I!
I absolutely adore the layout - the creative use of the furniture is amazing. I'm surprised how you managed to put the kitchen, the dining room and the little reading corner in one place and keep it under the budget. No criticism from me this time.
I like this. Those little tables are just adorable. I think you could use more darker wood in the dining area.

The layout of your room is nice, though the kitchen area looks a bit cramped. The use of the screen to hide a lamp seems odd to me, I’m not sure what the point of it is. It would’ve made more sense to me in the place where the big plant(s) is/are. I’m still not keen on your colour scheme – the browns and yellows are a bit harsh and jarring to me, but it does look quite warm and cosy and the door works well with it.
The choice of furnishing is lovely - the room looks very cozy and well composed. The colour scheme is a little too orange for my taste, but they seem to be balanced out with a good lighting. I'm not sure about the two big flowers in the middle of the room, they look a little out of place there.
I like floorplan and a little shelf underneath the window. You could use some lighter colors on the walls, not having a whole room in the same brown tone.

I like the layout of your room – such a shame that you moved the door though! I subtracted quite a few points from the Fun part for that. The kitchen area is also rather small. Nice to see the screen used as a divider, that works well. I love the colour scheme – you’re good at colour schemes – especially the curtains and the way all the woods work together. The door goes well with the colour scheme.
Amazing layout, looks very well executed and comfortable for Sims to navigate. I love the flooring and the walls you used, both in colour scheme and pattern choice. The turquoise on the furniture doesn't fit well with the soft green on the wall, I would have loved to have seen them in the same shade of green this time. I looks like you moved the door, which is against the requirements, so a point was taken from there.
Beautiful. I really like everything in this room, except pattern on the curtains. They are too colorful and clash with dining chairs patter. Except that, perfect room.

Very nice layout – I’d love to have a sofa in my kitchen in real life, just perfect for the odd nap whilst waiting for stuff to cook! The kitchen area is small but doesn’t look cramped. Using the screen as a divider is a good idea and it doesn’t look out of place in the room. I quite like the colour scheme but I’m not sure about the floor or the wallpaper – both are rather busy and I think that something simpler might have worker better. The door goes well with the rest of the room.
The room looks a little chaotic - the couch here is an unnecessary item in my opinion, it makes the room look like a living room rather than a kitchen. The furniture choice seems quite random, but the colour scheme is quite nice. The colour on the floor tiles is too dark and contrasted compared to the rest of the room, but besides that - the room looks great.
I think you have too much different patterns here. You can use colorful pattern for floor or wall, but not for both.

I quite like the layout of this room, though the kitchen area is rather small and looks a bit cramped (maybe because of the dark wood). I’m also not fond of the way the dining table and the rug are at odd angles. The screen should look strange so close to a wall like that but I actually quite like it. The lizard makes it work somehow! The colour scheme is OK but the wallpapers are a bit busy (and there are rather a lot of different ones) and the door doesn’t seem to quite match any of the woods.
I love the bay window and the terrarium, they add a lot of uniqueness to the room's design. The colour scheme is contrasted, the yellow seems very bright and the red very dark. The space around the fridge could use some better lighting.
The first picture is beautiful. I think you little overdo with the reddish tone. I dont like that table is moved in side and color of the fridge clash with kitchen.

I quite like the layout of your room, though the kitchen area is quite small but without being cramped. The screen doesn’t make sense to me by the window – why would you want it there, blocking out light? The colour scheme is nice and quite calm. I like the green and I don’t think it’s overdone at all. The door goes well with the rest of the room.
I like the colour scheme very much, it's very soft and well matched. The furniture choice is also great and the decorations fit the room well. The partition placement is not the best, but it still doesn't look off. Nice work.
I dont like that wooden cabinet. It is not fit here, not with color or the style. You use green and beige in entire room, you could use some accents in different color.

I like the layout. The kitchen area is quite small though, but not too cramped. The use of the screen as a room divider to separate the desk area from the rest of the room is a good idea. I’m not keen on the colour scheme though – it’s very busy and I would’ve preferred to see less different animal prints and to see them used as accents rather than everywhere. The fridge especially doesn’t look right to me. It would’ve been nice to see some other colours as well as black and white too. The door does match the colour scheme well though.
I usually like modern designs, but the zebra patterns and completely black walls are a little too much for me. The room looks very busy now. The colour scheme is overly contrasted, the black could be a few tones lighter and the use of zebra patterns reduced.
I really like the floor plan and that you incorporate table for six. All those animal prints are too much and it is not looking very good. I think one animal pattern would be enough.

I like the layout, even though the kitchen area is a bit on the small side. The screen is sort of half dividing the room and half against a wall, but it looks OK. Much to my surprise I quite like your colour scheme. On the overhead the counter and cabinet tops looked rather busy and overpowering but they work quite well from sim-view level. I also like the wall coverings that you’ve used. The door matches well with the rest of the room.
A very cozy and cute kitchen design, I love the flowery pattern on the counters. The light brown wood goes well with the soft green, so you did a great job on the colour scheme. The fridge and the stove colours could be matched too and the lighting could be a bit brighter.
Layout is good, but I dont like that he whle room is in green and yellow tone. You should use brighter colors on the walls.

I’m not a big fan of the layout – the way the kitchen counters stick out into the room looks odd to me, especially when you could’ve used the space on the other side of the room. The screen looks odd. That’s it on the shelf, right? Is it smaller than it was originally? From your pictures it’s very hard to see what you’ve done with it, a least for me. Your colour scheme is OK. I like the brick walls but I’m not as keen on the wooden ones. It doesn’t seem very cohesive – there’s nothing drawing the room together. The door goes fairly well with the other woods though.
Very creative use of the parting, I had to spend a few minutes to find it in the room and that's good - because it means that you've incorporated it with the room perfectly. The layout seems nice and the colour scheme is okay - the red looks quite contrasted when used with light wood patterns. Great job.
I dont like colors you use. Everything is too brownish. I like what you did with partition.
