Help with a tricky fireplace wall
7 years ago
I have been wanting to have built ins built to the left of the fireplace but since the wall is flush above the fireplace, I’m concerned it’s going to look odd. I’m open to blowing out the current fireplace or even building above it. I would love thoughts or suggestions.

7 years agoJila, I don't see how you can put a tv on a cabinet beside the fireplace since you have a sectional.
I can see something like this working in your space...
Of course, your tv would sit lower than in this mock up since I cut and pasted from the photo.

7 years agookib,,, nailed it.
can you take the tile all the way to the ceiling? it would suit the FP and room so much better
or you could try doing something like this to finish the FB
or this one. (switch the tv/art work)
or this. Right now your FB seems unfinished . either continue the tile all the way up or think about doing some trim work like shown in these pics.
