your floors look laminant, but I would still choose the same color,.

Pick a natural beam in a more rustic finish.

Thank you. The floors are Laminate. My devote is going to be contemporary. Should I still go rustic? Stone fireplace is toned of grey.

Match the floor.

I like Lyn Nielson’s suggestion, and think rustic can complement modern, but I also think you don’t necessarily need a mantel, particularly since you already have the horizontals from the shelving.

If you use a steel shelf you can lower it a little more since they are non-combustible.
