Televisions over the fireplace are becoming more commonplace. The nice thing about this room is the long expanse of wood that makes a television that is larger than the fireplace beneath seem not so mammoth.
Question: I have a small flat screen TV in my living room, but I have no idea how to display it in a tasetful way. I don't want to make the TV the centerpiece of the room, and I am not into cabinets much. I don't like TVs hung on a wall, so that limits me a bit. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Have an idea?

3. Concrete's natural properties add function. The designer of this fireplace surround used concrete in several smart ways. First, it acts as a heat shield between the fire and the TV hanging on the surround. Second, the raised hearth and heat shield add a much needed horizontal element. Third, the two concrete elements are the third of the dark gray elements - notice the vent pipes - satisfying the rule of threes.
If you live alone or consider TV or movie watching a solo activity, a nice screen and comfy chair are all you need. Swap out the chair for a chaise or daybed to make room for two. Simple and private.
