I know this wont be every ones(or any ones) cup of tea but my wife and I flip a lot of antiques. We had a random room in the house that's kinda connected to the living room and kitchen so we turned it into a lounge with some of our mid mod furniture we kept. I make bars out of old tv's and I put bluetooth speakers in them so I will usually put some music on, make a drink, and sit in there to read.

The rest of the house is a little more subdued.
