What are the current dimensions, please? And what is on the wall opposite, a chair? Do you like the raised hearth?

I see no normal windows where are you? What is your style ?Please post pics of the whole space . Kind of like the FP so I need more context

Could coffee table and fp border be a matching accent wood stain? ... can see some at bottom of this fireplace/ or a blonde type color:

a striking paint treatment in large geometric? or very subtle - and wash/shine light up for not much money [from top of fp]

Black and browns - if you add one saturated color - and add fair amount of metal say, in polished nickel - is that a new look idea?

I like the fireplace, too. I don't like all the matching trim everywhere that is distracting from the cool MCM vibe of the fireplace. Paint over it and remove the tile trim. Does the back of the tile that fell off have the manufacturer and style to order replacements? Hopefully when you remove the extra tile trim above the fireplace you can salvage some whole tiles.

The other thing I would do is paint everything white. There is so much going on with all the angles and windows, etc. that all the same white would make some of that go away visually.

I like that the TV blends into the fireplace surround. Don't get a frame TV...it will just stand out. Anyway, try painting everything white first and make the fireplace architecture stand out by itself. See if you like it then. It's very dramatic. Then get a tile expert in to repair and salvage the tiles.

Plaster or other material... maybe higher, to the line of nearby ceiling?

Frame and drywall with plaster/stucco finish. Integral color plaster has a smooth finish, in almost any color.

Without seeing the entire space, I am tempted to suggest swapping the areas for better layout…consider moving the round chairs and table to FP area, hanging a gallery wall of large movie (or other subjects) posters on the tall wall. Where table is now hang a wall mount TV with wall mount credenza, paint the wall behind the tv a home theater red, move your 2 sofas in L shape for tv viewing (or get sectional with reversible chaise), move the sofa table to back of sofa that faces the round table, and put coffee table about 12” to 18” max from the 2 sofas. To lighten up the room, consider replacing the dark tile surround with a stained concrete-looking finish, simplify the look by eliminating the tile pillars running vertically up the wall and - if local code permits - eliminating the hearth altogether. You will also get a much airier lighter feel in the room if you paint the built-ins same color as the walls and paint their backs a few shades darker on the same paint chip.

I am envisioning something like this, tv area to left of FP, even painting the tv wall and ceiling red, moving table and chairs to right of FP.

With furniture arrangement like this

a few other angles of the room.

thanks got everyone’s thoughts so far.

will be replacing that particular coffee table but keeping the two matching couches and the table/chairs. looking for ideas how the layout on the actual fireplace should be. (where the tv goes, where fireplace goes, how high to bring stone up)

trying to design with the style of the house which has a bit of a frank loyd wright vibe

I would paint all your walls either a creamy white that matches your paint on the far left wall or a mid-dark stoney modern greige or iron gray. I would also paint the ceiling trim and the window frames of the tiny windows (at least on the high wall) to match the new wall paint (or lose them altogether) as they look like little peep holes and the trims are too thin for such a high ceiling.

As for the fireplace, I would keep the bottom row of dark wood cabinetry if it's real wood and in good condition (or re-face with a lighter mid-colored modern pale or spicy oak even keeping the dark cabinets on the right hand wall). Then I would take off the upside-down U-tiled area altogether to create a totally flat wall above the cabinets, including taking off the busy dark side pillars that run up the sides.

I would then fill in that upside-down U-shaped stripped away area with a nice creamy white or black ledgestone that runs across the entire wall to give the fireplace a modern look that would complement your trendy sofa on the right and the overall architecture.

Hang one to three large, wide rectangular pieces of art in lighter colored modern simple wood frame (or thin gold frames) that run across the wall - keep them wider than taller -- in neutral cream tones or some muted color if you really want color (eg. deep burnt orange or stormy blue or deep teal but keep the look creamy and muted and monochromatic, whatever color your choose) - something with very little busy pattern. The plainish art might look "boring" in the art store, but when you hang it, you will see that it calms and modernizes the room. Place an acacia or olive tree in a large stoneware planter in front of the right hand wall or on the bench.

Wow what a beautiful space. Those windows are amazing. In context of the new photos, that fireplace is waaay too heavy and distracting. Especially with the wood built-ins.

@prairie gal I agree - remove the tiled soffits to the sides and over the firebox and the tile from the surround to create a flat wall. She says keep the lower cabinets, I think she means the lower tiled hearth...but I agree, try keeping that. A low horizontal tiled hearth might be nice. Or plaster it as suggested.

I agree about the dark stripes of trim everywhere. They serve no purpose and they also distract from those fab windows. Is that an accent wall above the fireplace? Paint it all creamy white as suggested along with all the rest of the space and trim.

You are losing heat to the tall ceilings and open fireplace. Can you put in an insert? How about a ceiling fan to direct the heat back down? That would alter ceiling lighting unless you can locate the fan in one spot and the chandelier in another. Modern prairie seems the style of the home. Very beautiful spaces and room flow!

What about keeping the tv there or moving it to the bookcase wall? I like how the tv blends into the dark tile already. Makes the room the focus not just the tv.

The large open wall is screaming for an original art triptych.

Call me crazy, but I really like the fireplace and the entire space. The windows, large and small, are amazing. The space needs warming up and personalization, which I think you can do with a great large art work over that fireplace--something original in colors, style, and colors you like. Then echo that with sofa pillows, great coffee table books on your already terrific coffee table. There are artists on Etsy who take commissions, though you should look around locally for some interesting artists. Skyscapes add a lot of drama to a room with tall ceilings. A bold art work would also pull the eye away from TV.

How abour simple contemporary like below, new fireplace, TV with sound bar above, and a nice large pendant. The black section can be quartz.

The bottom of the TV would be approximately 4 feet off the ground.
