Situated within the vibrant Dubai Creek Harbour urban development, this airy apartment offers a calm and contemporary living experience. Created by interior designer Muskaan Noronha of Limelight Interiors, the home encompasses a harmonious blend of clean lines and relaxed neutral backdrops. Botanical green decor accents connect with the strong emphasis on sustainability in Dubai Creek Harbour. A refined modern furniture layout creates a sense of spaciousness with touches of elegance, while subtle wall molding adds a dash of class charm. Large windows bless the dwelling with an influx of natural light, and a small balcony allows the owner to soak up the views of their prestigious setting.
A modestly proportioned pale gray sofa provides a cozy landing spot in the open-plan living room. Subtle wall molding injects a touch of class into a plain cream focal wall behind it. Large botanical art prints wing each end of the modern sofa, giving the room a splash of natural beauty.
Geometric bronze legs elevate a glass coffee table in front of the sofa. The warm bronze-toned table frame complements a set of wooden accent chairs and picks out darker shades in the living room rug .
A large indoor plant expands upon the botanical room theme with big, beautiful fronds. Large windows keep the indoor plant life happy with an abundance of natural sunlight. Lightweight white voiles gently frame the glass.
More botanical beauty is introduced via an elegant green vase on a small side table . The modern black accent table is sandwiched between two shapely wooden accent chairs to round out the seating plan.
A cream tile floor reflects light all the way into the back of the apartment. A full-length mirror brightens the home entryway.
Opposite the modern couch and coffee table combo, a contemporary floating media console underlines the wall-mounted TV. Its slatted white face cuts cleanly across the cream paintwork. A second floating storage cabinet fills an adjacent alcove that’s coated with a contrasting deep green finish.
Above the alcove storage unit, a round wall mirror creates a point of light interest against the dark green accent wall; its large surface reflects the room and a modern brass sputnik chandelier.
The lounge area adjoins an open-plan dining room. Four emerald green upholstered dining chairs encircle a white oval dining table. Brass chair legs and plush seat fabric bestow a luxurious feel upon the eating area. Tall candle sticks give meal times an instant elegant flair.
Gray woven placemats set the white dining table. Simple white crockery, modern silverware, and understated glassware create a refined tablescape that allows the bold dining chairs to remain the primary focus of the space.
The contemporary dining area backs onto the kitchen, separated by a bar-height countertop. A dropped ceiling above the kitchen area provides additional visual zoning.
A structural pillar marks the divide between the kitchen and the home entryway. A variety of gloss white and rich natural wood tone cabinets make up the modern kitchen arrangement. The combination of materials prevents the kitchen installation from appearing dominant in the open-plan living space.
Wooden base cabinets give the kitchen design weight and depth. White wall cabinets keep the kitchen space looking open and airy in the upper quadrant, while open kitchen shelving splices in warmer elements. A stainless steel kitchen sink and matching steel appliances look bright and modern.
An inspirational green decor scheme fills the master bedroom suite. A solid green statement wall with sophisticated molding frames a contrasting cream headboard and a pair of white bedside tables. Wooden wardrobes line the entryway into the bedroom and make rich contrast with plain white walls.
Floral artwork is mounted within a frame of panel molding to create an eye-catching focal point above the bed. Green scatter cushions and a cozy green woolen throw color the fresh white bed set. A cream accent pillow pulls in the color of the channel-tufted headboard.
Two white pendant lights descend upon the pair of bedside tables and spotlight decorative vases. A plush area rug is placed beneath the faux leather bed to build a soft aesthetic.
A green upholstered end-of-bed bench fits snugly onto the edge of the gray and white bedroom rug. Cream drapes frame dual-aspect floor-to-ceiling windows.
On the bedroom balcony, two gray rattan chairs are teamed with an outdoor table to make an inviting conversation spot. Here, the homeowners can soak in views of Dubai Creek Harbour and enjoy a breath of fresh air with their morning coffee.
A white vanity table and accompanying cream chair complete the bedroom layout.
A black decorative tray boldly contrasts the vanity table. A scented candle and reed diffuser create relaxing aromas in the bedroom. The circular shape of the tray echoes the round wall mirror above the dressing table. A beige decorative vase adds height to the table arrangement.
In the master bathroom, the double sink bathroom vanity unit spans almost the entire length of the bathroom, leaving just enough space for the WC to nestle neatly behind. The wooden vanity unit adds a rich natural tone to the modern white bathroom scheme. The stone countertop adds a slice of glossy beige to the decor palette and wall-mounted chrome faucets add shiny accessorization. The fitted bathtub is walled in with beige tiles to achieve a bespoke finish.

Designing a living room can be challenging, especially when it comes to incorporating both a television and a fireplace in the same space. Both elements are focal points in their own right, each demanding attention and setting a distinct tone for the room. Achieving a balance between them requires thoughtful design choices.
This guide introduces a few high-end strategies for positioning a TV beside the fireplace in your living or dining room, offering designer tips on making this combination look beautiful without filling up the entire room.
Understanding the Challenge: TV vs. Fireplace
The TV and fireplace usually make up the two most important features and draw the lion’s share of your attention in a living room. Here are some ideas and a few challenges to keep in mind:
Competing Focal Points: TV and fireplaces are both sources of attraction in different ways. If put too close together without proper design balance, one may overshadow the other or set the room out of kilter.
Height Discrepancies: TV sets tend to be placed with optimal viewing—at eye level—firmly in mind, while fireplaces are often designed lower. Moreover, the height difference can cause unwanted visual tension while watching TV between the two if it is not handled carefully.
Design Styles: The TV and fireplace should somehow be made to match each other in materials, colors, and style. A modern, slick TV will look out of place beside a rustic stone fireplace.
Technology Integration: Modern living rooms often feature multiple electronic devices, and hiding wires and cables is crucial for a clean, polished look.
Example 1: The Overbearing TV
Visualizer:Anastasia Dmytriienko
One common pitfall is allowing the TV to overpower the fireplace. This often happens when the TV is significantly larger than the fireplace or when it’s mounted too close to the fireplace. In such cases, the room can feel unbalanced, the TV dominates the space, and the fireplace loses its charm as a cozy focal point.
How To Do It:
Ensure the TV and fireplace are proportionate to one another. If the TV is big, choose a fireplace with a substantial size such as a wide, linear model to hold its own visually. Or maybe move the TV to an adjacent wall instead of having it right next to the fireplace. The method of two peaks, low fireplace where one is located at an isolated place and the other nearby helps a lot in the overall aesthetic focus without creating a visual tug-of-war.
Designer Tip:
To maintain harmony between the TV and fireplace, consider using complementary materials and colors that tie the two elements together. For example, if the fireplace surround is made of sleek, modern tiles, use similar finishes or tones for the TV wall or cabinetry. This approach helps in creating a cohesive design where neither the TV nor the fireplace overshadows the other.
What Not to Do:
Avoid mounting a large TV directly beside a smaller fireplace, especially if the TV is at a different height or angle. This can create a jarring visual imbalance, making the room feel awkward and cluttered.
Example 2: The Balanced Asymmetry Method
Visualizer:Walaa Abdelaziz
One of the best tricks to make a TV & fireplace balance would be asymmetry. This allows for the idea that everything does not have to be completely symmetrical to find balance.
How To Do It:
Place the TV set and fireplace at different heights or slightly off from one another. For example, the television set could be hung on the wall beside the fireplace, with the fireplace positioned an inch lower or off to one side. This juxtaposition gives a striking visual contrast without making the room appear lopsided.
Designer Tip:
To take this layout one step further, use colors and textures brought from the fireplace to the TV that is repeated on all surrounding elements. If the fireplace is clad in natural stone then for example you could use a wood finish frame that matches up with earthy tones. The addition of a rug or soft furnishings in similar shades can further tie the elements together.
What Not to Do:
Avoid placing your TV too close to the fireplace mantel or at an arbitrary height, as this can disrupt the room’s flow and create an imbalance. Ensure that both the TV and fireplace are aligned at the same visual plane, and positioned safely against the same natural flagstone, for a cohesive look.
Example 3:The L-Shaped Layout
Visualizer:Maria Rybak
The L-shaped layout is a practical and beautiful way to place the TV beside the fireplace. This setup is ideal for a larger room with multiple seating areas.
How To Do It:
The L-shaped configuration is a popular and interesting choice for positioning next to the fireplace TV, especially in large rooms with several seating areas. If both are long, place the fireplace on one side wall and mount your TV next to it but in a facing direction. This layout stretches the focal points into distinct locations in one room but still has collaboration. Position the seating so that it is facing both towards the TV and fireplace, making sure to keep everything functional as well as comfortable.
Designer Tip
The trick to pull this off like a designer is to maintain consistency with materials and colors that you use across both windows and your floor-to-ceiling walls. If you have a modern, sleek tile fireplace surround then try using the same type of materials or colors on your TV wall. Placing a sectional sofa at the corner of the L will also anchor the space, making it feel more cozy and free from drafts.
What Not to Do :
Avoid disconnecting the two walls with different styles of furniture placement or materials from one another. This will lead to a room that feels disconnected and not as fluid. Instead, however, you should carefully manage how the two (related) zones will merge for a coherent overall design.
Example 4: Adopt a Compassionate Design Integration
Visualizer:hasan yıldız
A combination of a TV and a gas fireplace is the most secretive, in this case, it makes sense to establish them within one design concept. In this case, all decisions were oriented towards establishing a cohesive expression allowing both parties to be themselves without getting in the way of each other.
How to Do It:
Sympathetic design is also key to ensuring a cohesive look where both the TV and fireplace play nicely together. Pick something that works with the style of them both essentially. As an example, if you have a contemporary design and your fireplace has clean lines with a stone surround then choose to hold your TV above the fireplace or use a cabinet that has similar materials or finishes so it will make everything look together. Try creating custom cabinetry that incorporates both your TV and fireplace, which should be designed with cohesive elements such as color, texture, and material. This method results in a neatly proportioned and cohesive focal point of the room.
Designer Tip:
For a well-rounded appearance, pick materials and colors that match the decorations in the room. For a natural stone fireplace surround, try using the same material in a TV frame. Or, choose a TV with less surrounding bulk that won’t visually compete with the textural and colored fireplace. Using common materials like routed wood or integral stone will also add to the feeling that everything is present for a reason.
What to Avoid :
Do not set the TV and fireplace in a way that makes the visual balance wrong. For example, a traditional fireplace will be needlessly obstructed if you fix the TV panel too high above it. Keeping both items at the same level maintains cleanliness throughout.
Example 5: Utilize Artful Disguise
Visualizer:Minnur Memmedov
To prevent the television from becoming a black hole in your pretty room, custom cabinetry or sliding panels are other graceful solutions. This way, the fireplace gets to be a focal point while the TV is off making sure that balance remains in your room.
How to do it
Mounting the TV within a gallery wall, nestled among other pieces of art and photographs is another creative way that you can almost disguise it. Sliding panels or canvas with artwork in custom cabinetry, for example, can be open to view your TV and become concealed when the TV is off. To effectively hide your television, you may be interested in something such as a framed mirror TV.
Designer Tip
Make sliding hall doors finger light to open and close, and an integral part of home design. Upgrading the panels with high-quality materials and finishes elevates the style of your space Also, you should use soft-close mechanisms for easy movement and to avoid friction from heavy work.
What to Avoid:
Avoid choosing panels that conflict with the room’s existing decoration. For example, contrasting colors or materials could create a disruptive feel in a small space and draw attention to the screen away from the fireplace. Instead, make sure your panels fit in with the appearance of both your TV and fireplace; this way there will be no disjointed look.
Example 6: Explore Multi-Functional Design Solutions
Visualizer:Alexander Chubarkov
We love the idea of combining your TV and fireplace into a built-in nook in smaller spaces or multi-function rooms. A media wall that combines the TV and fireplace with a few other features including built-in storage or workspace can be practical yet stylish. A custom media wall, for example, can include a room with a fireplace at the base and a television mounted above on one end of it making room while incorporating other features such as storage or workspace elements.
How to Do It:
When designing a media wall that will function in multiple capacities, make sure you begin by arranging the layout and how all intended features are going to be incorporated into the space without everything feeling cramped. Make the fireplace the focal point, with the TV positioned above it or off to one side, depending on the room’s orientation and viewing angles. For added functionality, get built-in storage or shelving done around the TV and fireplace. Select materials and finishes that work well with the fireplace and TV, plus the type of fireplace you have so they all tie in together.
Designer Tip:
When considering a media wall with multiple functions, the placement should be based on the room’s layout and the intended use of each component. Be sure that the layout serves to improve how you use the room while creating an elegant and stateful design. The use of flexible storage systems and adjustable shelving can easily make your design versatile as well as practical.
What to Avoid:
Do not create a media wall that looks overcrowded or takes up space. For instance, trying to fit too much onto one wall can result in a cluttered look and detract from the overall room design.
Example 7: Minimalist Approach
Visualizer:Manal Adnan
A minimalist design approach focuses on simplicity and clean lines in a beautiful family room, and it is the perfect way to incorporate a TV by any fireplace. The design is trendy and gives the space a well-organized, clutter-free look.
How to Do It:
If you’re adopting less is more ability in expressionism, then clean lines and a muted color scheme should be your visual priorities. Opt for a minimalist fireplace that does not take away from the aesthetics of your other living space or room. A floating media console or low-profile TV stand can remain unobstructed while naturally complementing the fireplace, providing a seamless solution. We can create a showpiece environment that allows either the TV or fireplace to be shown prominently, but still maintains the comfortable coexistence of both in the same room, as embellishment rather than focus.
Designer Tip:
Opt for finishes that easily merge with the overall room style, think matte or subtler textures. Hidden cable management systems and designated spaces to conceal wires contribute to a clean, uncluttered look in a room. Simplicity in form and functionality make this room feel open, while a modern palette of colors keeps the space looking fresh and sophisticated.
What To Avoid:
Do not overdecorate or create intricate mantels with patterns and designs that could take away from the minimalistic character. Instead, skip on fancy fireplace mantels or sophisticated TV stands that can overcrowd the space. In addition, avoid mixtures and combinations of mantels of different materials or styles as those can disturb visual connections.
Wrap Up
Designing a living room that balances both a TV and a fireplace can be a tricky task, but with thoughtful planning and a cohesive design approach, it’s entirely achievable.
By applying these tips, you can transform your living room into a stylish and functional haven, where the warmth of the fireplace and the entertainment of the TV coexist beautifully. At Home Designing, we aim to inspire practical solutions that make your living space both comfortable and visually appealing.

This compact kitchen space follows the simple rule: white walls paired with black cabinetry and an island. Even in this nook, the space is able to make a style statement while providing optimal functionality. The window here gives a contrasting element of light to the otherwise dark modern kitchen.

Visualizer:Tatiana Durnescu
We see shades of gray and black coming together to bring this modern dark kitchen to life. What we especially love is the multiple types of lighting, all layered together to bring visual interest to the space.
