What should I put above this large fireplace? A mirror? A piece of art? Any suggestions welcome.
I'm not interested in a TV. Thanks in advance.

Comments (5)We can't see your style from the pic posted. If you want to emphasize the height of the wall, go with tall, vertical art like the insp pic below.
