can you mount the tv and get rid of the huge stand?
if not, maybe you can get a smaller stand that is a different color (or paint the stand a different color). i think the huge massive black object ---meaning all of that, not just the tv ---is too distracting.

i've seen people just paint a large rectangle or stripes on the wall behind that look cool. you don't really want/need miuch artwork behind the tv anyway since you're usually facing that way just for the tv.

but if you can't do the mounting or getting a new tv stand, i would recommend just changing the paint color behind the tv, or framing it somehow with paint.

books in the fireplace!!! i love it! such a great idea to fill the space in a sealed off fireplace! we used ours for record storage but it didn't look quite right since they weren't tall enough. i love this!

this is insane.

i like it. i just would be sure they were secured...something bumping the wall will send them all crashing onto the soon-to-be tie-dyed floor. (which could be cool I guess...)

These don't look like Knoll. It might help to send this picture to a few different showrooms that sell furniture (like at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago) and ask them if they know the designer or have any similar pieces.

hey! i had the same problem. i have a 27" flatscreen on a little cabinet against a huge wall. i got these shelves from ikea and they look awesome next to it. i can use them as DVD/cd storage next to the tv. ($50)

also i really like the person's idea up above to horizontally hang a branch. i think branches make beautiful decorations in a home and you don't need to take care of them like regular plants (which is good for a person like me).

can also try something like this (could try corn starching fabric to make same design if you don't want to use coffee filters. personally, i don't really like the filters)

but i agree it definitely needs something.

white or pale grey. no color, you have enough color on the floor for the whole room. cool idea for wood floors though!

interesting. i don't like how low they're hovering above the bed though.. i don't quite understand that shot.

i think it's nice to have that extra countertop! i would switch the dryer and the washer around so you can have the flat top of the dryer.

You could always grab a piece of wood and paint it and plop it over them when they're not in use. You can use them for fruit bowls, wine storage.

it's a strange concept to have the laundry in the kitchen, but you can make it work and i'm sure you'll learn to love it!
