If I understand your plan for fireplace changes correctly you are removing the painted side columns & replacing with tile laid in a herringbone pattern? And, you’re leaving the entire top mantel? Or, are you planning to remove the existing white painted top & sides plus the granite surround & then add a new mantel & new tile in herringbone pattern? I think with all the great updates you’ve already made, removing the entire surround & adding new tile & mantel will give you more options for mantel size & colors of tile. There are so many options. If this room opens into another, consider the color & finishes in that other room when choosing colors for fireplace tile & mantel. As for decor above mantel, no clocks please. But do add large framed art with an image and colors that you’ll enjoy seeing every day & that fit the style & colors in the furnishings you add to room. Great idea to place TV on wall to right in picture.

you are right. i am planning to keep only top existing white top , remove side pillars. replace existing granite with new herringbone - small tiles. I am also open to buy new mantle - walnut or brown color. Any suggestion for picture frame what kind of furniture to add to this room. e.g. i am thinking of sectional sofa .

this room on left has patio door going in backyard. on the right its hallway to other room and garage.

Okay, FP plan is more clear but still a question. You are removing everything under the painted mantel, yes? That will provide enough space / width for the new tile laid herringbone style. The granite hearth that matches existing granite - it will be replaced with same new tile? For the mantel - I think it will be good to leave it the same color & finish that matches the rest of the room. But, I would remove that decorative embellishment on the front flat piece - it’s too ’fussy’. Doing that likely means a bit of sanding & repainting that whole flat piece but small work compared to the work of replacing the bottom FP surround! It sounds like this room is self contained & not open to an adjoining kitchen? If yes, that does give open options for furniture choices. A sectional might be nice for a TV room lounging around but it would limit furniture arrangements. Also consider that the inside corner of a sectional is a space few want to sit in so factor that into how many seats available. A long sofa & several chairs - recliner that can sit close to walls & swivel chairs are great options. Looks like you’re starting from scratch. I’d start with TV - how large? Wall mounted or sitting on console? Even if wall mounted a console that’s longer than TV usually looks best. Console - open? closed? Legs or no legs? What’s the style of the rest of the house? How many seats will be needed most often? Best to start with a floorplan with dimensions shown, visit furniture stores, look at online rooms to see what appeals. Then choose sofa first, then chairs but make size mockups on the floor to get a feel for space needed & how pieces will fit. Lots of research needed so don’t expect to have this done fast! Takes time if a person doesn’t want to regret their choices and $$ spent! 😊 BTW - as you’re shopping around, look at large art that is almost as wide as FP or at least as large as the FP box for starters. Art is very personal - when you see a piece that speaks to you or makes you feel good looking at it - that might be the one. Don’t rush. Art should be more than a decorator piece.

This is where you draw floorplan to scale and try out TV placement(s) and how you want to sit, what is going to be the primary focal point. It can be difficult for seating to comfortably address 2 focal points if far apart/ at angles— someone has to twist in seat or turn head, or perhaps you incorporate swivel chairs.

I'm sad to hear that wood was replaced with vinyl, but your other ideas seem solid. Separate couches and chairs may work better than a sectional here -- the advice to draw things to scale is a good one.

I was thinking the flooring in picture was the new floor. Deepak, how about posting a current picture? I wondered what you replaced the ceiling fan with anyway.

Current room is under construction and lots of construction material. floor is changed to viny and covered with sheet, so wont get you good idea.

TV is 90 degree perpendicular from fireplace on the right wall of the room

TV is 77 inch lg.

Planning to add closed console at bottom of tv, may be touching to floor.

We are searching for big nice art which goes above mantle.

Going to buy herringbone tile as shown above picture.

but as suggested , we are going to explore the spacing/size for the room and see which fits good like sectional or separate sofa/chair.

We are family of 4, husband/wife and two - 10 year, 6 year children. So trying to keep it children friendly room.

I also saw this room. liked the orientation. it has fireplace, window next to fireplace, then TV with console , sectional sofa. but this room also next to dining room/kitchen so it has different feeling.

in our case, it's separate family room.

I see how your inspo room above looks good, but just be mindful how your own furniture will be oriented toward the TV, and whether TV is mounted flat on wall or is on an arm that can angle. In this room example, if the TV is fixed agaieall, it doesn’t seem like several people on one leg of the sectional would have a good view But maybe that his just a trick of the photo angle.

Deepak - your inspo room is quite nice. You have more options with decor & seating since your room is not immediately adjacent to another room. Since your room opens to a patio, that access & view must be incorporated with your interior plan. With small children, a large sectional is tempting for lots of family seating & lounging. But still, I think sectionals are limiting & can be outgrown. Depending on the size of your room, a very long sofa with separate recliners or swivel chairs may serve your family better as your children grow. Separate seating may allow more flexibility with changing arrangements around as needs change. Using a floor plan mockup to map out arranging furniture is definitely a solid plan.

So far it seems like you've got a good plan going. You could mount the TV, over a console, on the wall to the right of the fireplace or you could mount it right next to the fireplace on the left with a console underneath. What type of furniture are you looking to place in the room? A sectional? Maybe a sofa and two chairs? Included here are a few images from designs we have done which might give you more ideas for your current dilemma.
