I need suggestions for the mantle as well!

that wall is begging for a great piece of art

That room looks narrow and very, very tall. Add the outlets already wired and this space is screaming for a mounted TV. There is plenty of area for TV plus art, if you reconsider.

Use the wall for art or framed photos, go nuts. Leave the mantle naked, it looks clean and gorgeous.

Duplicate post.

It's made for a TV. You could go mirror the whole area. Or a very tall big art piece. Go on Line for ideas .wallpaper Or reclaimed wood on whole wall would work too.

You could consider an authentic art museum banner, as they're really good at filling up a large wall space. We at BetterWall represent 30+ major art museums, selling their authentic street banners to people to put in their homes as spectacular wall art. As unique objects produced in limited editions, the banners embody great art, great museums, and contemporary advertising trends.

They're sized typically about 3ft wide by 6-8ft long. We have over 175 different banners, but here are a couple examples.
