- Inspiration
- Without too much decorative objects, the ceiling consists with a curved edge, softening the rectangular shape. It fans out like a feather, creating a lightness feeling in the room.

Dark gray stone panels and gold lighting fixture, makes the game room more sophisticated. With a glass sliding door, the game room can quickly turn in to a guest room.
