Living Room

View a pretty focal point from the entry. 
Whenever a sofa is floating in a room, put a console table behind it for a more finished look.

Add a ventless gas fireplace. 
A modular masonry unit has an authentic feel with an Eldorado fireplace surround and a wood mantel.

Top off your mantel with a collection. 
Instead of one large painting, arrange a grouping of framed and unframed pieces.
