    Why not?

    If you were to describe this room to someone who couldn’t see it, you would sound crazy.
    Take one scalloped/fish scale/Moroccan gray carpet, add a gray velvet sofa and two fur cushions. Doesn’t sound too bad, right?
    Now add two bright blue armchairs with rolled arms sitting across from one another over a metal and white coffeetable. [...]
