1st place by the fireplace
All the peoples of the world organized residential spaces, pushing out the warmth of the warmth in the house, home hearth, stoves, fireplace. In the age of air conditioners and all kinds of heating, this is, of course, not so relevant, but the need for this symbol in people remains: maybe, therefore, false fireplaces do not leave fashion.
