Even if you have an elegant sitting room with hand painted vases, rich wood tones and a large fireplace, it doesn’t mean that you can’t make updated technology work in the space too. Plus, it’s not like those puffy couches were meant for just sipping tea and reading. Incorporating modern technology into a formal sitting room is possible if the equipment can be stowed away when it’s not in use. For example, a pull-down viewing screen can be installed above the fireplace, so you can pull it down when

you want to watch a sporting event or movie. When the screen is put away, a traditional piece of artwork can fill the space and complete the look of the room. Additional electronic equipment such as a DVD player, speakers, etc. can be stored in traditional glass-faced cabinets with interior lighting. This will create some contrast. These are just some ways that you can have a balance of modernism and traditional style in one room.
