Our media room is painted white and has dark carpeting, The solution I used was a 4' wide strip of heavy black velvet on the ceiling immediately in front of the screen. I was prepared to extend the strip down the walls adjacent to the screen, but found it unnecessary. We had built a stage in front of the screen that is covered with charcoal colored carpet. Mostly for cosmetics but also to enhance soundstage, we covered the wall around the screen with the same carpet used on the stage. I also had the ceiling coffered. The ceiling already had inset spots, but I replaced the dimmer with a more elaborate one. The result is a nice looking room with great video and audio.
