How do I create design balance between the TV and fireplace?

Create design balance by dedicating the living room nook to the TV at seated eye level while reserving the fireplace area for art or mirrors. Use complementary materials and colors between the two zones, such as coordinating backer panels with mantel tones. Include subtle lighting around the fireplace and TV to highlight each feature without overpowering the other. This approach ensures both elements have their own presence and maintain harmony in the room’s layout.
