In my old flat (which I assume was pretty similar dimensions to yours) I had a similar setup but with a glass hi-fi rack like this:
Girlfriend hated it, I spent a bit of time looking at OTP alternatives but there was very little that didn't look shit, and, because of the amp dimensions, everything had a "hi-fi" premium on the price.
In the new place ended up with getting these built in cabinets either side of the chimney with all the wiring run through the chimney breast. Specced to my dimensions so could have had them big enough to fit an amp or whatever else.
For remote controls in cupboards, the Harmony remotes are worth looking at. The remote communicates with the base station by RF so you can have it in a cupboard (or you can get extenders so you can have the base station out and an extender in the cupboard).
