Hi All -
Looking for mirror ideas for over the fireplace. Ignore all the furniture (nothing is staying, but the layout will likely be oriented that way).
The blue tape will be a Frame TV.
Round? Rectangle? Another shape?
Thoughts and advice welcome!

Comments (2)Totally agree with LALA ... with your mantle being so wide and close to the ceiling, I think a layered look would be perfect. You could even incorporate the two white pieces in your picture with the vignette. I like a mirror being the focal point (as in LALA’s first pic), but here are some other looks below. If you a search for ‘layered fireplace mantle’, lots of good inspiration comes up. Basically, with so much horizontal shapes in there, you’ll want varying heights of things for the most interesting look....See Moremantle decor ideas

Comments (20)Mary, it depends on what appeals to you. This link is probably more info than you need, but I like the art in the first photo. You can use the firebox opening as a size guide for the art. You can look here on Houzz for art, and Ballard Designs is another source you might check. https://www.houzz.com/magazine/dos-and-donts-of-hanging-art-above-a-fireplace-stsetivw-vs~71949227 I've kept this photo on file since I like the way this mantel is done. I know it's completely different than yours, but the simplicity is there....See MoreRebecca Russell
