Many people believe that having a sofa and a TV in the living room is a must, as they form the basis of the relaxation and reception area.
When the question of their installation arises, everything seems obvious: a sofa is placed along one wall, and a TV is hung on the opposite wall.
If you watch TV every day, this decision makes perfect sense.
However, those who prefer to watch movies on their phone or laptop and turn on the TV only occasionally can use other methods of decorating the area, says Yulia Tychino, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti.
Instead, you can expand the soft area by placing several armchairs or a pouf next to the sofa.
Be sure to lay down a rug and place a coffee table on it.
A chest of drawers with plants would look great along the free wall.
Another stylish and modern solution is a false fireplace, in which you can place books or a garland. If you prefer a real fireplace, install a bio-version - the apartment will immediately become cozier, especially on cold winter evenings.
A regular TV cannot provide the same level of comfort as the items we have listed.
