gas fireplace needs help!

6 years ago

Ideas needed to make this wall an attention-getter rather than the dull thing it is now. Open to any suggestions. Tv will be on adjacent wall and not over mantle. Floors are grayish and walls are pale grey so a bit of cooler or bold design would be great!

floors are grayish? i see brownish in the picture.

where's the furniture? If you want ideas, we need to see the entire space.

what do you like?

what's the budget?

Can you tile or demo yourself?

some ideas

i like something a bit more simple or modern looking

I love CleTile (or a any type of Zellige or earthenware tile) for this fireplace. take it all the way up

You could get a solid piece of black granite or marble to use as your hearth. (or bring out the tile far enough to act as a hearth)

you could try a stacked stone

you could build up the hearth and do something like this

For now will be brown sofa and loveseat. Kitchen is at opposite end with white cabinets and mottled granite counters. Backsplash not yet chosen so could pick up a coordinating color there.

The biggest issue you have to deal with is how high the fireplace is raised in the wall. Your project is open to your imagination.

Here's a blank slate to start from:

Mantel and tile removed

Here's an idea all to scale I created by using a picture found at BeeYouTifullife.com

I personally supply finishing touches for fireplaces such as the screens and tools you see above. For more ideas about fireplace screens and doors, try the Free Fireplace Design Service at Hansen Wholesale

Thank you all so much for the ideas! I really liked the idea of building up a hearth to make the fireplace height look less awkward. Many thanks for the help!,
