A contemporary update to built-in shelving, this family room includes a set of French-door cabinets painted black to contrast beside a white fireplace with a black hearth. The mantel itself is simple, boasting a beveled molding effect, while a flatscreen television hangs above. The look is so classic that any decorations on top of the mantel would be unnecessary and over the top, an important tip if you want to achieve a similar look.
