Clean the stone. Paint the top detail white to match the rest of the crown molding. Stain the mantle to match your floors. Paint the walls a light color so there is no contrast with the door. Get a new black fire screen. Put a lovely landscape on the mantle.

Thank you so much. I was trying to change the colors like that and couldn’t get it to work. How do you think it would look if the mantle was white also? Thank you so much for your time.

I think it would look fine. Although I like the look of wood with the stone.

I would white wash the stone. And paint the mantel white to blend in since it's rather large! You'd get the presence of the mantel without the visual bulk.

Here is three options. I was thinking right away, stucco...

Thank you. Those look great.

I would also consider removing that top trim piece, might be worth not having it so thick, and then a reclaimed or faux wood mantel end to end.

Thank you for the great ideas. I appreciate your advice.

To my eye the fireplace does not have attractive proportions. The hearth is too wide and and overly deep for its height, the wood box is too small, the ceiling trim too bulky, mantle too large and too high. And the doorway looks squashed in beside it. No amount of whitewashing or painting is is going to change any of that.

The good news is that it looks like the stone isn't boulders stacked up like some of the photos people have posted above. I think it's rock veneer, flat pieces of rock stuck to a cement/wire mesh base. If it's veneer, you should be able to see that from the side. Can you stand by the round mirror and take a picture for us?

Veneer can be removed relatively easily by someone with experience and the right tools. Then you can have the room you want. You can shorten the hearth and put the TV to the left of the fireplace which would look much better than above it. Now is the time to do it, when you're re-doing the floor. If not, be sure to keep a box of the flooring for later if you want to remove or shorten the hearth and need to fill in the floor.

My house also had an overpowering stone fireplace and the best thing we ever did was replace it with a normally-proportioned fireplace surround. IMO these large stone fireplace walls look great in big chalet-style homes with high ceilings, and are out of place in regular homes.

Is that a gas firpelapce ? If it is you need to remove that hearth before doing the floors and as for the stone IMO if you do not like it cover it and at the same time remove the mantel which is allwrong for that FP.
