We have a contemporary decorating style and have the Carlyle in the guest bath and the Eco-Soiree in the Master. Love, love, love them both. Had the Carlyle for about a year. Liked it so much I swapped out the other toilet for the Soiree a couple of weeks ago. BTW, you're in the right place to ask. I did tons of research (DW thinks far too much) before settling on my toilets. And this forum is about the best resource around. Chose the models for the look, chose Toto for the quality. Between the extreme flush and the CEFIONTECT finish, they're hard to beat....
