Can we please talk about Edwardian style interior designs?

If I had a style they'd call it English Country House Clutter. OP's pic looks like it's trying too hard. The execution by an expensive designer of a stock broker's wife's vision of Edwardian. I like authentic clutter.... a confident mishmash of everything.

One of the greatest insults in Parliamentary history was: "He looks like the sort of man who buys his own furniture!"

If you Google Ben Pentreath parsonage you get a sense of real country house clutter vs. the work he does for clients... which is closer to OP's picture presumably because nobody wants authentic Edwardian. It was a nightmare for clutter but I love it. I'd post a pic but DL in one of it's thou shalt not link moods, at least for me.

I love it, although the example posted is a bit bland as R1 points out, it needs more colour. and more clutter.

I like it because its ornate, fussy and busy, but I do slightly prefer mid Victorian and Rococo styles as they are more overstuffed and ornate respectively. Personally I like a mashup of the lot, fortunately my partner isnt afraid of a bit of clutter either

I like it

Needs more chintz.

Like this, R1?

R5 Oooh fuck yeah thats nice

I think it's coming back in style. MCM revival has had a good run, 20-25 years but with corona and the economic downturn, people will want cocooning. Books and overstuffed arm chairs and patterned wallpaper. The comfort of *things* that have stood the test of time. Someone on here linked to The Bible of British Taste blog. I started reading it and it just seemed so right. Yesterday I was looking for vintage French floral stripe fabric for pillows. It's happening.

The room in the 1st pic has been structurally altered, it doesn't have a picture rail.

I imagine to prissy uptight gays living there yelling for Consuela to come clean the carpet because their annoying, little, yapping Bichon Frise made a tinkle on the rug.

R5, that's too much for me. I'm anti-pattern as a rule, prefer solids. But I like the crammed in stuff. That's rockin' it.

the pillows at r5 are very nice.

For your information, she’s a purebred Lhasa Apso named Mitzi and we’ll thank you not to speak so harshly of her! [flounces away]

^ LOL

Fussy, impersonal. The sort of furniture Somers Farkas might have.
