I would paint the entire fireplace including the mantel, all trim and shelving white. I like the Whisper White, but you must bring the paint samples into the room to see for yourself. The sheen on all woodwork should be semi-gloss, easy cleaning and looks crisp. I agree with painting the walls and I would paint the part above the mantel the same color as the walls, Summer Hue is beautiful, but once again I have no idea how that would look in your room. The walls should be flat most brands make a fairly easy to clean flat. If the fireplace were the focal point of the room, it could look very cool and dramatic to paint it a very dark gray almost black. But at least in this picture it seems that the entertainment/shelving unit is the focal point. hmm .... better stop while I am ahead.

If you do a google search of "Japanese Modern Interior Design" there are some great images that come up as examples for you to see........

This layout is not what i would ever suggest to a client for starters the MBR and DR are all wrong , who wants to walkthat far with food from the kitchen the DR is completely closed off of the rest of the space just too many things to correct for me.I really dislike homes built to look great from the outside with no proper function on the inside

We agree with you. Bedrooms don’t always need a TV. There are plenty of ways you can style the space opposite your bed. Here are just a few suggestions. Try including extra furniture or seating if you have the space for it. For instance, a tall bookcase, an armoire or dresser, maybe a loveseat of a chaise can easily fill up space. These also double as a nice spot to relax with a cup of tea or read a book. Think about bringing in a writing desk or craft table – to suit a hobby if you have one. If space is an issue, then use the wall to your advantage. A gallery wall or a large artwork can do wonders. You can even think about painting a mural or creating a tapestry here.
