Alcove shelving

5 years ago

I am looking for some ideas for shelving the alcoves beside our fireplace. I love the black, classic ornate detail on the fire surround and the coving so I would like to compliment that style. I will be removing the dado rail and painting the room also.

I need shelving/cupboard for the television on one side as you can see. I would like a spot for a lamp and accessories on the other side. Has anybody any tips for me?

Any colour suggestions? Should I keep the walls light to let the fireplace stand out?

You can paint the inside of FP opening charcoal and then I would go for a blue/grey and not greige. Those colors tend to be very dark. You have black furnishings and a blue/grey would look very fresh. Your art above FP has blue in it, so replace rug and get some pillows for sofa that will bring in the colors of the painting. Why not just put in some shelves, one big enough to hold tv. That would give a more open concept to room. If you need one enclosed to store components, that would fit also. I would not build up too high on the wall.
