The room now has the exotic South Seas flair the homeowners wanted. A new wooden mantel wraps the fireplace and extends over to the half wall. The half wall is painted pewter and the fireplace wall is painted bronze. The metallic colors add a warm shimmer and help the TV blend in instead of stick out. The new space is illuminated with lighting placed underneath the mantel and over the half wall. The new lighting helps brighten the existing orange and enhances the metallic colors giving them a lustrous, exotic feel. Makeover resources:
