The color planning, besides its functionality, highlights the fashionable English charms. The implicit boundary between the areas decorated with the sofas and the adjoining area decorated with the leather chairs and round tables is delineated by the curved ceiling grilles that are sound absorbing materials as well.
Research

The shine, through the wine bottles, on the metal wine cabinets, of which the rusted textures and the lights expose the elegant attractions.
