Living Room Fireplace & Custom TV Unit Design

Contemporary Living Room, Ottawa

When you have a family room that is a little small and serves dual purposes, you need to be creative with your design solutions. In this family room, we designed a custom media unit that provided plenty of storage as well as open display shelving. If you are designing a custom media unit, you need to make sure it is properly balanced, especially when you are designing wall to wall custom millwork. I love a well-designed media unit! Looking for a different and unique idea for your fireplace? Have you considered installing a large-format porcelain slab instead of using standard tiles?

Like the smooth monolithic quartz surround & hearth; not so fond of the veining.
