Looks like wood storage would be a good thing here, also maybe an area rug that brings all the colors together. Super hard to make deco ideas when we really cant see your style. I would keep it very simple.

Paint the walls the same as the rest of the house.

What’s the long white thing on the mantel? IMO it doesn’t belong there - its vertical pattern is at odds with the brick pattern.

Could you paint the brass trim of the wood stove with heat-proof paint (black)?

It’s a nice-looking fireplace. Can you show the rest of the room?

What is your decor style?

Thank you for the feedback. I added a couple pictueres for design style (which is limited). I dont like a lot of clutter but certainly want to feel homey.

thank you @littlebug Zone 5 Missouri i will see if I can paint the brass. The entire main floor is white to open things up.

thanks @Jilly. The pictures are a bit fragmented and the golf junk isnt always there (kids are practicing to make the team!). The buffet is in my kitchen to give an idea of the remainder of the house and the foyer just to see what all the doors look like through the house.

nice home, very warm and cozy feel.
