The oldest and most fashionable is the presence of a fireplace in the room. Chimney in modern high-rise buildings can not be organized, but it is quite possible to make a fireplace from plasterboard with their own hands. It is not a bad idea to place an electric fireplace in the resulting niche, but if this is not economically acceptable, then several large candles of different heights and shapes will fit that will easily create a private atmosphere in the evening.

For those who do not like to bother with the perfect wall alignment, there is good news: the fashion for decorating the living room with wallpaper has returned, which, when using several patterns in one color range, yields excellent results. The optimal option to purchase three types of wallpaper from one collection: monochrome, in bright stripes and with large floral ornament. The latter will fit in the recreation area behind the sofa, the striped ones are appropriate between the bookshelves and the cabinets. Monochrome will not distract attention from the TV.Details of this material can be found in the article: wallpaper for the living room.
