Furniture on some TV shows may be stealing the limelight.
Scandinavian-inspired furniture has been highlighted as the key to creating TV sets that are distinctive and fashionable.
The Independent used the examples of Mad Men and Wallander in a report on the newest trend sweeping the small screen.
Citing items in the fictional Draper family home such as Betty's padded velvet headboard, the article welcomed the arrival of Danish style.
People who want to emulate these dramatic interiors should make sure sofas have legs and fewer cushions than normal, the newspaper's Kate Watson-Smyth advised.
And expert on 60s design David Tatham was quoted as saying: "For those who like beautiful design and have the sensibility for an unfussy, cool home, the Wallander style is achievable and, in my opinion, timeless."
Amy Wells, set decorator for Mad Men, explained how she got the look in an interview with Interior Design, stating that she wanted to make the show look real and give the impression the characters really own the furniture.
