I would love ideas on how to style the walls on each side of fireplace

2 years ago

Please help me decide if I have to decorate both sides of my fireplace with the same wall decor or can I be a bit eclectic. Thanks so much!!!

I think you don't need any additional decor except the window treatments. Maybe curtain rods cheated over a bit more generous toward the side walls with a single panel hanging if you want to fill the space more. I'd also change out the sconces above the windows for something more current.

Thank you Amy! I have Roman shades on those windows, you think a panel over it? Unfortunately, the sconces have to stay for now....

I'm not much help. We have a similar set up but we have casement windows so all we did was have the upper ones match the lower windows but be fixed (i.e., not open). My one comment though is that I think the upper windows should have the same number (and size) of divided lights as the lower windows (i.e., squares of glass--you have 8 in the lower window (which I think they call 4 over 4 in double hungs) and I would get an 8 divided light fixed window for the uppers and then add the arched top if you want it).

Donna cheek, yes lol I have a fireplace on the right side flanked by two windows. Would love to see what you’ve done. This area is open concept so not a lot of wall space to put art, pics etc except for this one wall. That’s why I don’t think I should do too much to it so it doesn’t unbalance the room??

I love everything you chose! I think your issue is actually arrangement. Instead of centering the bench, push it all the way to the right to where the plant sits currently. I'd keep your existing mirror and add several more in a grouping over the bench, a small gallery wall of mirrors. You have natural asymmetry because of the switchplate, location so roll with it rather than fight it. Dip some of the mirrors down closer to the bench. Mix wood and gold-tone frames. You'll need to relo the coat hooks...that's ok. I'd actually stagger 5 closer to the door where there's a top row of three and a bottom row of two in the gaps from the top. Throw a small mirror or two over on that side as well. Depending on your ceiling height, and if you still have the parts for the chandelier, trade out the drop piece you used for the next longer one to bring it a bit lower. From there, just add some more greenery and a few more pillows.

I like what you have going, but would want a larger rug. It can come to within 12" of the hearth and extend 1 foot past each end of the sectional.. Have you considered painting the wall behind the TV to match the fireplace? To fill the wall space, add a wider credenza that lowers the TV. I would want a larger coffee table for that big sectional.

I love your roman shades and the panels would be completely unnecessary. It would just add another layer of texture/softness/interest to that wall. If you did do something like that, extending the rod further toward the side walls would balance the windows by taking up some of the extra wallspace on the sides of the window.
However, leaving just the shades would be just fine. I just feel you don't need anything else on the walls on the sides of the windows. I could see 2 matching poufs or benches (maybe caramel leather) under each window as a nice filler that would add seating or foot rests.
