In this media room, built-ins help keep the television from dominating and add symmetry. They also hide unsightly elements. "Built-ins can be a great way to hide bulkheads, mechanical shafts and all sorts of necessary but unattractive structural elements," Meisels says. "The column on the left hides a plumbing shaft while the column on the right is a functioning cabinet."The room strikes the perfect balance between masculine and feminine. "Whenever I create a room I tend to start from big to small," Meisels says. "I’m practical, so the larger furnishings/investment pieces that I buy are almost always super-clean and neutral. The 'no frills' nature of these items tend to feel more masculine."As for the feminine? "I like to have more fun with pattern and color with smaller furnishings, like the lime green ottomans and bold occasional chairs. Here’s where the whimsy comes into play and the more feminine touches," she says.Chairs: Mitchell Gold Theatre sofa: Design Within Reach
