This small living room faces a few challenges. One was the offset fireplace; two was the lack of seating and storage, and last but not least, the oversized television. Our solution minimizes the impact of a black TV by adding dark modern moulding. We have created a focal point for the fireplace by installing a floor to ceiling vintage brick. These elements perfectly balanced the walnut bookshelf with integrated engineered stone seating bench below the TV for overflow guest and discrete storage.
