Practical design details
Applying eclecticism in the process of arranging a house, a room, an apartment, immersion takes place in the world of absolute contradiction between objects. After all, only here you can unite the works of the great masters of antiquity, painters with your own works or your children. Ultramodern furniture will rise in line with the one that has gone through several centuries and now lives in the modern world.
