Furnishing one’s living room need not be rocket science, although it does
require you to take stock of available space. As Sophie puts it: “It’s all about being
clever with the space you do have.”人們互動交流。Peggy和Sophie會利用櫃子把電視隱藏，同時展放書籍、相架和
植物等個人珍藏。如你不想把電視收起，Peggy提議：「Samsung的The Frame
是不錯選擇，有如一件給裱起來的藝術品。」
隱藏式科技為現今生活帶來便利，在很多智能產品中可見一斑。「智能家居科
技讓我們減少雜物，打造簡潔空間。」Kenny指出，現時窗簾和燈光的控裝器已大
大減少：「聲控設計令客廳猶如懂得回應用家，而全天候照明則會因應一日不同時
段改變光線顏色和溫度，貼心照顧用家的身心健康。」
裝飾客廳不需要高深學問，不過你要考慮到家中有多少可用空間，哪些傢具
和家品應作訂造或嵌入，還有你想營造怎樣的格調。善用先進科技，同時確保客
廳帶有自然和個人元素。正如Sophie所言：「重點是要聰明運用你擁有的空間。」UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT
