We don't have a chimney breast in our living room (thanks to previous owners). We put in a large-ish fire surround with an electric fire which looks has served us well - when you first look at it you wouldn't know we didn't have a chimney breast. It is the focus of the room rather than the stupidly large TV.
So we are about to redecorate and DH has decided he's not that keen on the fire surround anymore and wants to take it out and put the TV in its place. I don't want the TV to be the focus of the room (even though it is) so suggested we look for a cabinet which could house the TV, and provide more storage space. The only ones I've been able to find look like Joey's cabinet from Friends, which is not what I had in mind.
Does a 'nice' feature cabinet really exist? Anybody got any ideas about how to shift focus away from the TV?
