Good question. I am told by a colleague that the dark rim around some TVs makes it easier on the eyes, but as those bezels get smaller, the wall colour becomes more important. Here's a few examples I found that might help...

A suggestion that the professionals use and makes it SO much easier choosing colours - and then the perfect shade of that colour. Get a paint swatch of the Hog's Bristle - or paint a little sample card from leftover paint. Bring home 5 or 6 samples shades of navy from the paintshop to get the the closest shade/tone of navy to your couch. Armed with those - and a sample of your bench colour - hit the shops with confidence! You will see easily which yellow, or which Marsala or which 'whatever-colour-you-choose' looks great. There are many shades that might look like they work in the store, but when you get them home will be NQR,,,,you know, not quite right....and you still may not be thrilled with your room. It's a simple and almost foolproof way of choosing colour and has worked for me throughout many renovations.Couldn't do it without those little bits of colour! Have fun...

I believe it is all about softening the look of this area & you will love it. I like the idea of the white flowing curtains, especially either side of a large mirror hung on those slats (which will reflect more light around & make the area seem more spacious). Put in a rug, comfy chair & small coffee table (a multi-use style with storage underneath that can be used as a side table & an ottoman). Then dress the area with an outdoor rug, basket (with a throw & cushions in it), some artwork, a pendant light, fairy lights, & plants (love the idea of a planter box along top of brick wall with some artificial plants hanging down). Add a mobile drinks trolley (with an ice bucket), styled with candles & magazines & you have a complete chill out zone.
