Fireplace stone design help

Lisa G
il y a 5 ans

We are doing white shaker cabinet built-ins on each side of the fireplace that will be a few inches shallower than the fireplace (thinking 20" depth cabinets and the fireplace is 24" deep). They will match our kitchen cabinets which are visible from this room.
We are having trouble committing to the design for the fireplace facade, partly because we like two different looks, and partly because the soffit makes it a bit challenging. Initially we wanted to do stacked stone (Eldorado Nantucket which is on our house exterior) all the way to the ceiling with a beam style mantle, ignoring the soffit. Then we questioned if that would look weird and would it be better to just install stone up to a beam mantle and have nothing above the mantle? We also toyed with the idea of a more traditional (board & batten style) white mantle with legs and just a thin tile border around the firebox, then maybe board and batten above the mantle.
Do we ignore the soffit? Do we make a hard line where the soffit begins with stone or trim so there is 1ft of the fireplace front untouched? Do we leave the whole section above the mantle untouched? The TV is staying, not up for discussion, but it will be lowered once the fireplace is done.

    Not a pro, but I think stone up to the mantle and then just finished drywall above the mantle would work best considering the challenge the soffit presents. We don’t have a soffit, but did something similar as we didn’t want details above the mantle that would draw attention to the tv space.

      Lynjen, that looks beautiful! That's exactly what we had in mind if we stopped the stone at the mantle. Did you wrap your stone around the sides? I think that would look best with our configuration.

      Thank you Lisa G. The stone does wrap around the side and I completely agree that approach would look best in your configuration. Here’s a photo of the side:

      I like both. Pull the trigger !

      If this was my home I'd place the chairs one on each side of the fireplace and center the sectional sofa in front of the fireplace.

      I wouldn't do any stone at all.

      You could spend the money you'd save on art, custom drapes or roman shades, a big coffee table, end tables with lamps/floor lamps and some plants to jazz the place.

      leelee, I appreciate your input, however I'm looking for design advice for the fireplace only. We enjoy the furniture arrangement the way it is and are focusing our budget on that project rather than decorative items (which will be tackled over time).
