The Olympic organisers supply the herrings and each athletes country supplies the herring applicators. Locks are standardised since the old days of chastity belt removal races, now discontinued.

I voted for paintings, because I have quite a few, but given the choice, I'd have voted for "quirky objects" ahead of any of the items on the list. I have African wall hangings, European ceramic plates, Afghan bags, and a carving from an Indian temple door. Also, copper and brass trays from four or five countries and lots of other things that remind me of places I've lived or visited. What I don't like and don't have is mass produced "wall art" chosen to fit with the decor rather than stand on its own merits either as art or as personal memorabilia.

Gold ..Dulux Elusive Gold I love it it's very cheery

Hi Adriana, your room is very nice (love your rug and coffee table). My only suggestion is that it does feels as though the room is overcrowded with too much of the SAME furniture ie. the grey, tufted pieces. Changing out your 2-seater for something in leather would really warm the space and add interest (I'd choose a brown tone to blend with your lovely buffet there) - I would also perhaps recover the ottoman in a different fabric, something you love that adds a touch more colour and your unique personality to the space. As you said you enjoy interior styling, and your flair for it shows already, I'm sure you can create a stunning room with just a few changes. Love to see pics of the final result!!
