It would be wonderful if my house had a spacious living

room with a fireplace as well as an open-plan modern
kitchen and a cozy dining room where I can invite all my

LANGUGE – DECORATIONS Example:
He invited me to visit his wonderful apartment
and I was really excited to go there since he told
me that something was undoubtedly exceptional
because it was designed by a renowned American
inner and outer decorator. Yeah, I was lost for
words when I first saw it because of its wonderful
inside decoration, although its outside look was
seemed to be very simple. I was fascinated by the
stylish wooden furniture, expensive colorful tiles,
startling chandeliers, and three giant screens.
There are some lavish sofas in the drawing room
and extraordinarily designed beds in every living
room. Most eye-catching areas are living rooms,
kitchen with wooden figure and fine baths. It was
looking really interesting due to its mind-blowing
structure.
