I will be painting this Fireplace area. But the hearth is so large and the sides of the FP seem so unuseable to me. HELP !!!
It is a huge wall, but you can make it striking. Paint all brick and stone black. Remove the furniture and replace with consoles… you can choose to add art work of consoles and a mirror over fireplace, or two mirrors and art over fireplace.
I would suggest nothing on the mantel...

Conversely, you do the same as above, but paint everything a white…something similar to your carpet (or if you have white woodwork do that white).
Notice in this photo hearth is black on top...
Either way you are so improving that wall. It will be gorgeous.
