Lower the TV to place it at the same level as the fireplace (and to get rid of the unsightly cords). The wood is cool MCM, but the brick looks a bit off, at least in the photo. You might consider painting the brick out, adding a mantel along the entire wall, and doing the ceiling in a less bland shade.

You may want to unify the different surfaces with the same or similar colors. Perhaps add a long white or heavy brown beam like mantle the spans the whole area. Then if one of similar colors you could even add additional surfaces above the mantle to form a book shelf like space with even cabinets and doors below for storage. But, I think the key is to unify the discordant surfaces by painting one color.

I'm not sure I understand it. Is this how it's supposed to look? part brick/part wood? Is there wood behind the brick that's salvageable? Is the ceiling partially dropped in front of the fireplace?

it is cool looking. add a copper conduit for the cables.. lower TV
