I also intend it's dandy to pick out a big, bold pattern somewhere inward the room since all of the pillows as well as upholstery are solids.

I also added a large silvery mirror opposite the painting. I scrap alongside decorating this wall, hence I'm only non certain nearly the arrangement. Basically, I'm only waiting until nosotros tin mountain our TV higher upward the fireplace on the opposite wall, as well as and hence motion a twain chairs against the electrical flow wall.
