A sofa, a closet with shelves and a TV - this is quite enough for the living room, if this cupboard is able to decompose into a pouf, separate shelves and a desk. This is a reality, not a fantasy! The basis is light shades, favorably underlined by the strict geometry of the darker elements. Pay special attention to symmetry / asymmetry, monochrome and evenness of surfaces, simple geometric forms.
