Let’s take a moment to look inside the room. Maybe it’s plain and simple, maybe it’s colourful, maybe it's ultra-modern or maybe it’s filled with traditional décor. A bedroom, a living room, or even a kitchen. Here we have some decorative squares like a ceiling rose in an old hotel room, a vase of flowers in a corner, floral wallpaper or even a stained-glass window!
