About to completely remodel our large-ish lounge/diner. Style is eclectic-whimsy-retro-colourful with lots of white, wood and pops of colour.
Wood effect floor with this fabulous rug which we already have. Walls will be soft-ish white.
The TV/fireplace wall has been my sticking point. DH wants the TV on the wall, I want lots of storage and I definitely don't want the TV to be the focal point when you walk into the room. It's a very wide wall. So my new brainwave is to have low storage built up to and around the fire (which will be frameless hole-in-the-wall style) so there's a sort of ledge the whole way across the wall. I want to paint the storage the same off white as the walls and the wall above the ledge (which the TV will be on, though not directly above the fire) a soft black. Hope that made sense! In my head this will look fab with the floor and the rug, and make the TV look less obvious.
Is it just one of my flights of whimsy though, or could it work?

What about a black wall here?
