Super Chic or Super Freak?

So I was scrolling through Home Sweet Home's new photos, and was stopped in my tracks when I laid eyes on this dining room:


I honestly just wasn't sure what to think. I definitely love the dramatic chocolate walls and bright white accents, but the glowing animal heads gave me some pause. And as much as I love the idea of keeping a space open, the ottoman seating raised an eyebrow.

So tell me, glowing creatures and backless seating - super chic or super freak?
