Thirties- Style Fireplace:
The Thirties are the inspiration for this living room. Modern essentials, such as a TV and video, rub shoulders with the Thirties- style fireplacestyle fireplace and furniture. A striking border design has been painted around the walls.The unit beside the fireplace was designed especially for this room so it fits the space exactly and provides plenty of storage for the TV, video and tapes. Rather than being just a simple rectangular shape it has a rounded edge that makes it fit beautifully into the corner. Rounded corners were modern and innovative in the Thirties and were incorporated in many houses of the period.
This original Thirties dresser, which was found in an antiques shop, looks beautiful tucked into the chimney breast alcove. Next to it, a glowing wooden fire surround in a geometric, boxy shape, which is so typical of Thirties design, adds another authentic note. Simple wooden chairs and a large, rectangular Table look timeless and would fit into any room scheme. Here, their wood perfectly complements the stripped floorboards. The key to this room's success is this mixing of old and new. It stops the room feeling too 'themed' or like a museum piece, and preserves its elegant, Thirties flavour.
