We need a better picture - OK - got it. - The rectangular windows need some relief so I'd do a large round mirror over the fireplace, flanked by some tall candlesticks, or something with height. You can even change out decor around the mirror seasonally. For instance, wheat bundles for fall, trees for the holidays, etc.

Can we please see the space - stand back and take a picture of the entire fireplace wall.

If you don't want to cover up the wall words, then I'd probably try to figure out how to make it look like they are inside a frame, like a piece of art. Then remove the too tiny other objects and get some larger decor to put up there. Otherwise that space is optimal for some art hung (or leaning) above the mantel.

Have you thought of mounting that branch that is on the right on the wall above the FP?
