Once upon a time, people lived quite differently than they do now. Their home was a castle, an armchair - a throne, a bed - an ivory bed. They drank wine from golden cups and conferred at the round table. No history of art will convince us that everything was different. Go to the museum and find that the holy grail is an unsympathetic jug with lurid colors painted on it? Never! And who will undertake to determine in what style the table was made, at which the knights of the Round Table sat, or in which casket did Anna of Austria keep their diamond pendants? Moreover, the fact of the existence of these suspension is not proven by anyone. From this point of view, the attempts of designers to decorate our house with things made with a fair amount of artistic fiction can not but rejoice. It is to their imagination and professional wickedness that we owe beds in which, in anticipation of the prince, one can sleep for a hundred years, mirrors a la Madame Pompadour and pillows that would decorate the palace of Cleopatra. In recent years, this movement has become universal. To bed you can effortlessly pick up a carpet, a dressing table to the mirror, a cup for wine to the pillows. To make it easier to navigate this interior fiction, we made our list: it has Rome, the Middle Ages, and Egypt, and even the twentieth century. It remains only to choose which role you like best.Pharaoh's TreasureAntique canonGothic thrillerRomanceWho is the court?Dangerous tiesWar and PeaceXX century beginswe
