Hi there, I have squat fireplace in my basement den. The measurements are 7’4” tall x 9’ wide. I’m a tad concerned about over designing my space. Here is a picture of the fireplace.

Here is a picture of the basement floorplan. There is a upstairs with more formal areas.

here is a picture of my wetbar. There will be a wine fridge to the right and a small fridge to the left. The kitchen is white, the shelves will be oak, and the counter is light grey.

I’m wondering 2 things:

1. Which fireplace option is preferred to bring all of the design elements together in my space (dry wall, white ledger stone, or grey Priceline concrete looking tile)?

2. Would you add a fireplace mantle on this fireplace, given the height and width of the fireplace?
