I think it could be quite nice, actually, if you have the right kind of house and the right kind of style - that kind of boho/Portobello chic that was around in the late 90s - but I quite like that, especially for a little girl's room - tall French or Georgian style house, French beaded mirrors, white walls, Moroccan tea-glasses etc. It'd look grim in the average British semi or new build, though.
