Charcoal-Gray, Textured Surround

Inspired by the international bazaars of the homeowner's travels, the fireplace is adorned with a white African headdress, sourced at a local flea market, and matching baskets and vases. A walnut built-in media cabinet below the TV adds function, gravitas and warmth to the color scheme, while a coffee table grounds the setting.
