fireplace/tv wall design

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

I recently purchased my home and I’m at a loss re the design of the fireplace and tv wall. The floors are a cream streaked porcelain rectangular tile and hearth is the same. The fireplace wall is Sheetrock painted a dreadful yellow beige color. What can I do to make this wall pop? I haven’t moved in yet but the decor is traditional - although I love a glam lux look. I’ve thought of wood horizontal paneling above the fireplace behind the tv and maybe a complimentary tile (to floor) below around fireplace and cabinet to right, but not sure. SOS!!!

Congratulations on your new home. This area does not look bad. Unless you are planning to replace all of the flooring, I would not change the tile around the fireplace. I would wait until you are moved in and live with it a bit. See how everything looks with your furniture then go from there. I would probably get a more glam firescreen and large canvas. Possibly paint the cabinet to blend in with the wall a bit more. The TV should be on the wall opposite the fireplace, it is too high. I cannot comment on the wood paneling without seeing your furniture, but it does not seem like it would go with the room as is. Once again, I think waiting until you live with it a bit before making changes would be the best.
