Martha Stewart, the 82-year-old lifestyle guru, recently shared photos of her newly decorated living room in her Maine home. However, she was surprised by the harsh criticism she received from some social media users, who felt the space lacked color and comfort.

In response to the negative comments, Stewart took to Instagram to defend her design choices. She explained that the transformation was not a professional decorator’s installation but rather a quick and efficient attempt to make the house a home. She assured her followers that the space would eventually include color, plants, mirrors, and other decorative elements.

The living room features a cream-colored rug, off-white leather chairs, and a couch, with a black bench and ornate coffee table near the wooden-paneled fireplace. Large windows allow natural light to fill the room. Another living space showcases wood-paneled walls and candle sconces, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.

While some fans praised the interior design, others felt it lacked personality and comfort. Some compared it to a hotel suite or a furniture showroom, while others suggested adding color to make it more joyful and inviting. However, Stewart’s fans also jumped to her defense, applauding the revamp and expressing their excitement to see the final result.

On a positive note, Stewart celebrated the Fourth of July with her fans by sharing a photo of her Maine home adorned with an American flag. She wished everyone a safe and happy holiday, celebrating America’s freedom and beauty.
