The Victorian lounges are often seen as unadorned spaces, in complete contrast to contemporary lounges that emphasize minimalism and functionality. It is true that this style of design is not the most practical for those who prefer minimalism and space-saving space. At the same time, it’s hard to resist their charm. The walls of these spaces are adorned with paintings, brilliant canvases, cleverly designed arches and textured walls, a museum or a living room where every little detail tells a story! For a touch of timeless luxury, add stained glass windows and stone fireplaces.
