Trends in interior design are sometimes like women's fashion. They change quickly, depending on who has better advertising. Every home should be an image of the soul and life of its inhabitants. If there was something to watch on television, the dominance of the large screen in the living room would not interfere, or if someone has the opportunity in the so-called leisure-artistic "clubhouse", to which the interior should then be adapted. The problem is, as you have already pointed out, it is the dominance of TV that pushes literature - fiction to the background, which also reduces the emotional and expressive abilities of TV-computer users. At the same time, it shines and sounds all day and loudly, sometimes quietly, subliminally, a media "wisdom" about how to live in your mind. Sometimes someone, between the window and the flowerpot, has a library with 2-3 media-preferred bestsellers (perhaps still packed from a bookstore (giggle), simply "I don't have time to read it, because they give the Simsons on TV"), a cookbook and professional literature (if needs) - this is the more census. How many people have more than 100 books of fiction in their library? (I gave a very low number) I prefer a home in which I feel a person and his life than an exhibition hall full of (financially) demanding "works of art". If I hang a picture, I have to have the desired feeling of it and not the price tag hanging on it
