A Sleek and Bold Statement Wall with Built-In Fireplace, TV, and Wood Mantel

This modern build-out in Sarasota, part of the Greater Tampa Bay area, showcases the clean lines and dramatic contrast of a professionally painted black shiplap wall. Designed to serve as the living room’s focal point, this wall unit combines a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, a sleek linear electric fireplace, and a floating wood mantel — all framed in a fully built-out surround.

Our team custom-built this wall from scratch, incorporating horizontal shiplap boards that were then spray-painted for a flawless, satin finish. The natural wood mantel adds warmth and texture to the design, complementing the black surface while creating visual balance.

From side angles, you can appreciate the precision of the panel joints and the deep matte-black finish, which was achieved through professional spraying — not brushing or rolling — for a smooth, modern result. The fireplace insert adds cozy ambiance with its realistic flame effect and integrated heater.
