Dytecture I agree with stone cladding but for the entire fireplace wall. A mantel isn't necessary since you will have a TV above the fireplace.

coratan Take the mirror down. Then let't paint this fireplace wall darker then the rest of the other walls. Then a abstract piece of art

kitasei If you put the television over the fp you will make the focal point of the room the television. Is that what you want? Rather than the fp and the beautiful view that frames it? I would suggest replacing the mirror with the stone cladding you choose for the entire fireplace, and then leaving it BARE. Hang the tv on the side wall. Put your energy into perfect illumination for the fireplace and views.

sunceray Ya the entire fireplace with the stone looks awesome! Is that a costly reno?

jaya15 With the clean line architecture and the beautiful windows, in see a tie clad f ire place wall. I would choose 'Shine dark 'or 'Ruggine' by Porcelanosa in 17x26 (they will go beautifully with your wall color) and place them in an brick pattern with minimum grout lines. the tiles have beautiful patterns and colors in them. You don't need a mantle with that smooth look.
Before spending money for the electrical on that wall for tv. Please experience watching tv at that height sitting on a sofa. I personally don't prefer it. Its too high. And any lower you won't be able to use your fireplace.
Thanks

sunceray Okay thank you for the suggestions ill take a look at those colors

Dezign Studio Inc Is it possible to have a built in effect and make a niche for the T.V, so it sits flush with the fireplace. Although along with having the TV at a height , during the day, you will have to draw the curtains/window coverings while watching T V,

sunceray Ya I'm not sure if having the tv mounted into the fireplace or over would work best. I haven't had anyone professional come out to look. I think once we take the mirror down we will get a better look.

ASVInteriors Agree with Dezign Studio about the location of your TV - it is not a practical location. So now you really have to make a feature of the FP!

Island Stone Vtile Cladding from Island Stone, possibly the large Vtile given the size of the space. Run in a stacked format to accent the relief. Rustic also is a great look for a modern yet still natural stone appeal.

carolins Loving the idea of stone cladding the fireplace. If possible, remove the mantle and just leave it bare. I really like the Island Stone look of the fireplace. Gorgeous.
