Design Report & Material List

## Design Concept This design wraps the TV wall in classic picture-frame molding and warm brass sconces to create a tailored focal point that feels finished even when the screen is raised. The layered neutrals and mixed wood tones keep the space approachable and timeless. ## Key Decisions - **Molded wall panels** add architectural interest without competing with the TV; painted in the wall color, they stay subtle and cohesive. - **Slim brass sconces** flank the cabinet at eye level, casting a warm glow that softens the room after dark without glare on the screen. - **Tall fiddle-leaf fig** balances the wall's vertical scale and fills the awkward gap beside the kitchen opening. - **Narrow framed botanical print** sits where the raised TV won't block it, giving the eye a resting point on the right side of the composition. ## Material List | Item | Role | Est.
