I think maybe my wife and my kid will live with me in the future. In the door, we can see a big living room and a big TV in the wall. And we have like PS4 or XBOX on top of the drawers. Because I like play games and I would want to play games with my wife and my kid in the future. And inside the bedroom, we would have a big bed. Moreover, we can have a projector and we can use projector to watch movie on the wall because projector can be big size to watch which can give you a better visual impact.
