I'm nearing the end of my fireplace project! I am planning on placing a barnwood mantle under the tv to hold my Roku and I might put candle sticks on there too. My original thought was to get matching barn wood shelves to go above them but now I'm reconsidering. Someone said it would be too much barn wood and distract from the main mantel under the tv. Should I do another sort of wall shelf in its place? There's a good amount of empty space being boxed in so i want to ensure its scaled properly and am somewhat worried the shelves may seem too small. Should I just try to find two big decor items, something that would stick out some since I have the space? maybe two identical mirrors on either side?

Or what would you suggest? I'm going for a mix of farmhouse, industrial and contemporary in my home. Also I'll be placing a large vintage map of the historic town (Annapolis) that I live in over the couch. I also plan on getting a new lamp in time. I'm kind of in love with spot light tripods right now and am leaning toward purchasing one of those or at least switching out my lamp shade...I had converted it from a regular lamp shade I picked up at the flea market
