Looks beautiful! Carry on with adding your accents it will be lovely.

The gray looks fine. Just accessorize the mantel simply. I would, however, paint the inside of the firebox and the metal trim pieces black. You can get high heat paint for just this purpose. Right now they look pretty messy and beat up. It’s kind of dragging down the look.

It’s the condition/discoloration of the fireplace interior and metal fireplace frame insert which looks bad. Maybe those can be sprayed or painted with a fireproof dark gray paint to even-out the color.

Nice blend of colonial dentil detail and contemporary slab on surround and hearth. 2 things make it look “off” to me, 1. If the mantel ledge is less than 6” deep make it deeper, and 2. The firebox needs a good cleaning.

Thank you all SO much. I’ll add the accessories. And agree that the discoloration of the interior and metal is a problem. So glad to hear I didn’t make a decorating mistake choosing that tile. Spray painting with a fireproof dark grey sounds like a good plan. Will post the after pics!

Thanks Marylut. Agree mantle ledge is too skinny… however i dont see us changing that out any time soon.

It needs a deeper mantel and some decor. You can layer items if you have some place for them to sit. Otherwise, it may always feel a bit flat and shallow.

Yes decoenthusiast thanks. Like i mentioned to Marylut I realize its too shallow which is why i only have the mirror there now. Will get to it eventually! ty!
