fireplace wall decor help
This room is just not coming together and I appreciate any help. I’m attaching pics of art that I would like to work with but need to replace mirror with a a complimentary piece of art above fireplace. This is a home built in 1970 and is in the woods.

Comments (2)Thank you MSDG I don't know if I'm doing paneling work -- I need help designing the entire wall. The firebox cannot be moved because there is an egress window right next to it on the outside (basement). I'm not looking for the black/white look, I was showing the photo for the mantle style. What do you mean "Furred out portion around fire box?" Do you mean the marble before the wood post section? I can't decide if I should do a heart or not. I like it sometimes, but I need to figure out the entire wall to see what looks good together. I also like the look of a window seat, but I don't want it to look so casual like a kitchen bench. Do you think I should put a new window only on the right side of the fireplace? What are your thoughts on a bench seat underneath it? Thanks so much for your help!!...See MoreNeed help decorating fireplace mantel with cathedral ceiling and brick
Comments (14)Thank you Beverly! We have considered white washing the fireplace. That's so neat how you gave me a visual. Thank you! The whole black-trim-on-one-wall-thing came about when we had someone come out for a consultation on widow treatments/blinds (which we haven't figured out yet either). We also needed blinds in the master bedroom and newly renovated master bath, which both have black trim, and the look is really great in those areas. She suggessted we carry that out into the living area by doing the fireplace wall trim black, plus the ceiling beam and staircase rails. It doesn't have to stay, but looks a bit better in person with the whole house in perspective. I'm so grateful for the suggesstions!!!

Comments (26)You have a very nice space. The brick white is great. It appears you can’t really use those chairs much? I would sell them. Move TV to that wall. Get slim console and add slightly bigger TV to simply set on the console. Get a couple stools to put either side if you need extra seating periodically. Then art over fireplace with minimal decor....See MoreRelated Professionals

PRO29 days agoFirst, what's with the mantle? The proportions don't seem to suit the room. I'd replace it, but if you cannot do that I'd at least lower it closer to the fire box.
If you'd like to reinforce the brass in the room then select something brass for over the fireplace. Here is a starburst mirror and sconces. The sconces can be remote controlled battery operated if you don't want to have the expense of electric.
As another option here is a framed canvas that picks up the soft blues and oranges of your accessories.
That dark, thick mantle seems so very out of place. Maybe one of these would have been a better choice.

This space could really use a less is more idea. IMO remove all the decor and then see what you need first . Print drapes are always an issue for me they are busy and often do not work in a LR at all. The eterges are really not showing bits worth dispaly maybe lok at two lower cabinets instead . I assume there is no TV here I would remove the mantel and then hang a nice larger piece of art there . Love the blue color hate that fake greenery and those little lamps . Too many pillows on the sofa IMO if you need to move a pillow to sit there are too many pillows . I would do the blue for the drapes in a nice simple linen in blue the one pillow on the sofa I would do thr bird one. I like the blue lamp . If those eterges stay then the wall color needs to be darker and you need to display only things needing display not a bunch of stuff bought to fill the shelves .and IMO anice wrm white for the walls the beige is not doing anything for the dpace and no aqua wall at all. This a nice look for the drapes soft blue linen and the white walls to go with them and if you want to paint that FP wall match the drapes
