The Marshall is a clean lined transitional mantel with subtle, yet elegant molding details that will command the focal point of your room. Pearl Mantels features fine furniture quality, stunning details and classic designs that will enhance any decor.
Furniture is arranged around it, precious treasures are displayed on it, and it provides balance and stability to the entire room. It represents roots, heritage and tradition. Pearl does not treat the mantel as trim or molding but as a beautiful piece of furniture that is the focal point of the entire room, the emotional core. But to truly be part of the home, a fireplace must warm our hearts even when there is no fire in the grate. The dancing flames can lift your spirits and melt away the most stressful day in a matter of minutes. There's nothing as warm and welcoming as a crackling fire in an open fireplace. No harm done.It's the first piece of furniture in any home. Area rugs on top of carpet may not be ideal but I use them to separate the areas of the living room. Addition was for a kitchen, bath and utility room as no plumbing in the stone part of the house. It was an old one room schoolhouse that we bought for $25,000 (yes, thousand) in 1994. My room is 18 x 24 with 15 ft ceilings with all the original stone walls exposed except in the addition and the bedrooms which are separated by drywall. I live in a flood zone so wood floors are not an option AND I live in an old stone schoolhouse that is on a concrete pad that sits directly on the ground. I currently have 4, yes 4! In my closet! I don’t have issues with it curling like others have said. I will say that I use an area rug on top of my carpet which I also change out as either my taste changes or I see one I like. I rearrange furniture a lot, like 2-3 times a month. Wow! You have really put some good options out there. Love your house and I know you are having fun. I’m a Realtor, my heart is into arranging furniture, staging the home to get on the market. I centered the love seats in middle of floor but had furniture closer to fireplace end……
HOUZZ FIREPLACE MANYEL TV
You can also use something like the buffet to set TV on it. I had enough space for an antique buffet in front of window (great storage). The other side I had a coordinating rug but placed on an angle for interest. If you need more light in the evening you might want to place 2 lamps on the sofa table rather than floral arrangement. I didn’t use much space between furniture. I also used an 5 x 8 area rug to define space and have a cozy feel. In front of fireplace you can use 2 smaller club chairs with ottoman facing each other with ottoman between or on an angle toward fireplace to right and left of love seat, use cocktail table or if you us ottoman place a tray on it for dranks etc….This setup will give you 4 seats and with coordinating throw pillows you will have extra seating on fireplace mantel.
I had similar issue and used a setup like F but used 2 matching love seats back to back with sofa table between and huge floral arrangement on the table. Also love your idea of painting the backs of the built ins with a accent colour, that will help them stand out more, highlighting your different shelf decor and will help tie in the rest of the room. In the future you could also add a soft ottoman (just examples ) in front of one of the built ins- this wouldn’t block the built ins completely and would add more warmth and comfort as well as extra seating. If you are coming in from the hall your eyes are going to be immediately drawn to the fire place and built ins.
By having the back of the couch facing the fire place in the middle of the room, yes you are creating 2 extra spaces but you can’t enjoy the fire place as much if your back is turned and vice versa (which section would you utilize more?) You have different focal points depending on where you are entering from if you are coming in the from the dinning room you focal point is the couch and window. You can still then see the fire place, and watch TV at the same time- utilizing the entire room. From a decorating standpoint you always want your biggest piece of furniture on the biggest wall to balance out the room. I know this might be too late, but I would go with option A.
