In the home, the living area, or the receiving room, is one of the busiest rooms. It's also the room guests initially see and form a lasting impression about the home. Hence, the living area should be well-decorated, well-laid out and inviting to guests and family members. It should project a homey, comfortable yet elegant image.
The Greeks were inspired by lofty ideals of beauty. And these same ideals can be imitated and applied to create and decorate an elegant home, an elegant living area in particular. With a combination of imagination, good taste, statues and lamps, any living area can be transformed into one that exudes elegance and coziness at the same time.

I've read so many home decor features, with attractive titles that imply that you can achieve the same designer effects at a fraction of the cost. Unfortunately, the editors' interpretation of "budget" is not the same as mine. They mean, "You can purchase this sofa at just $1,500 instead of $5,000.
