Walls and photos
There is no better room to display your love of art than the living room. Whether you want to display family photos or your newest masterpiece from the local gallery, the pieces that you choose will set the tone for the room. If you want to display family photos, then there is nothing more important than the frame that you choose. A more ornate frame works well in warm, romantically styled rooms, while simpler frames work well with a more modern décor.

While it is important to choose a piece that you love, remember that if you choose a piece that largely contrasts with the current décor, you may not like it as much once it is on the wall unless you change everything else in the room.

Furniture
The furniture that you choose will also affect the overall appeal of the living room. If you have a family that includes children, you may want to look for functionality over style. The color of your furniture is perhaps the next important thing to look for. Brightly colored furniture is inviting for families with a fun sense of style, while a neutral set can allow more of the focus to be on the art in the room.

Another factor is the activity carried out in the bathroom. If the bathroom or dressing up to be a place you love to soak the shower size may be greater

Dry or wet
Bathroom with a dry floor cleaner look. However, the wet floor still more preferred because bathing habits of Indonesia. It could also put the bathroom when dry and wet in one room. The concern is there should be a separation in order not to dry the floor wet. For example, by using fiber glass separator or can be made with the wet lower surface and separated the plastic.

Location
The placement of objects in the bathroom should be arranged as well. For example the sink is placed to the front so that when washing hands, we do not need to go to the bathroom or closet should not be placed after a wet floor area.
