I think your tiles need to be larger. Choose an interesting, but simple pattern similar to the one below. I also like the idea of something that is from the region you live. Without seeing your space it is hard to know. You say a stone fireplace, what kind of stone? You want the tiles to go, but to make the fireplace stand out do not go too matchy. Mixing concrete with the tiles can create interest, too.

Hi Ellen, No, you are not asking too much! With a well-designed piece of joinery you should be easily able to get all your needs met. To complement your Danish scheme, you just need to use the right materials & colours. Here's an example of an entertainment/storage unit I did for some clients. It serves multi-functions in a not very large space.

After all we have decided give the north side of the fence with fresh coats of paint same colour as the rest of the fence for now and pulled off all the plant that were grown under the fence from next door neighbor's garden. On day we went pass outdoor furniture shop and saw this Outdoor dinning setting (expandable) made out of Eucalyptus also saw similar design on Houzz long time ago. We went with this easy maintenance and compact setting. I also planted couple of small plants including nandina at the front, Chinese star jasmines to cover the wall and an yellow and a red Mandevilla on the other side of the garden for some pop colour. Hopefully, the jasmine will grow and give some cover. Thank you all again for your input I appreciated

I'd have a look at the IKEA room layouts in their catalogue or online. You don't need to use their furniture to "borrow" their layout ideas.
