Offset fireplace decor

2 years ago

What kind of art do I put here? Everything looks wrong because it's off center. Please ignore the random clutter we are still getting settled.

This has a lot of potential. I’m seeing it as a statement/focal wall. I found some pics for inspo and a good design will make it feel not so “off”. Depending on how big the lip is in front of the fireplace, maybe a basket with blankets or a thin book/magazine rack. It’s all about balance, right, so I’d put one large art piece or a few staggered smaller art pieces on the left side of the mantel then maybe a long ceramic-esque statue on right side (the first thing that popped into my head was a shark statue, if you’re into the nautical theme).

Decorations are down. The fireplace looks bare. What to add?

I would replace the plants with hurricane lamps, maybe like these. Normally, windows are covered at night because otherwise they appear like black holes. So unless you have outdoor lighting that you can see from the windows at night, it would be best to have curtains or drapes. I would use drapes to the floor in your room. I have outdoor lighting in my back yard that lights up my back yard until about 9:00 PM, and so I keep my bedroom drapes open until the lights go off.

The faux leather is just wallpaper, really. And black isn't the only color. I'm glad you understand the look even though it's a no-go. As far as the chandelier goes, I rather like the look of a plain no-light fan...it reminds me of lazy, hot southern days and mint juleps and such... I love your mirror--what about a Victorian style sconce with globes? Too ornate?

If you google "faux fireplace" there's lots of ideas on how to use it without an actual firebox, if that's what you're thinking. Here is a Candice Olson design where she used a mirror and candles, but I think it would be even better with an antique surround.

What color do you want to change the walls to? Once you decide that, you could have the shelves painted the same color and it will look like a built-in. You could also do some closed storage on the bottom level to store media items or throw blankets, etc.

Love all the previous comments, I think some layered images and cute nicknacks and/or plants would be adorable

You might be able to try something like this over the right side and then maybe try a plant on the left or a piece of 3D art. Below are a few ideas from our designs.
