I like the idea of something more round up there </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-above-fireplace#post-2866617 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 09:41:47 +0000 looch 2866617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally wouldn't do a square piece only because everything else in that space is square shaped. </p> <p>I really also wouldn't do a large mirror, that creates a lot of visual noise in terms of the reflection. I would do a large, arch shaped window frame (empty) that is put up off center and leaning on the ledge. Then I would do a grouping of three similar items on the other side and call it done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-above-fireplace#post-2866425 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 13:18:38 +0000 hellobeeboston 2866425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A mirror would look great. A circular one would be nice in that angular space.</p> <p>Also Minted has some really beautiful artwork! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-above-fireplace#post-2866417 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 12:25:31 +0000 Adira 2866417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second a mirror! I think I got my mirror from Home Depot.<br /> Here's ours at Christmas: </p> [attach=340/19/plc0ej.600x400.mantle.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-above-fireplace#post-2866362 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 08:34:05 +0000 Anagram 2866362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Although with a mirror, you also have to consider what you are reflecting on the opposite wall. If it's high enough and it's reflecting a wall, then that's good.</p> <p>If it's reflecting something busy/messy then you don't want to do a mirror. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-above-fireplace#post-2866361 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 08:32:15 +0000 Anagram 2866361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do a giant geometric mirror in the middle with layers of other things like pps have suggested in front/to the sides. The main thing is scale--you need something really large above the fireplace or the fireplace will dwarf it.</p> <p><a href="https://www.wayfair.com/decor-pillows/pdp/willa-arlo-interiors-traditional-metal-frame-wall-mirror-wrlo6336.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.wayfair.com/decor-pillows/pdp/willa-arlo-interiors-traditional-metal-frame-wall-mirror-wrlo6336.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-above-fireplace#post-2866332 Sun, 13 Jan 2019 22:10:51 +0000 MountainBaby 2866332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A similar idea to the mirror mentioned above, we hung a large clock over the fireplace and then decorated the mantle.

Here’s ours. I left the treetops frame up post Xmas but normally have a matted kid picture there instead (them at a distance in a park, so not big smiling faces) </p> [attach=2666/19/pl8ovn.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-above-fireplace#post-2866249 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 13:50:44 +0000 youboots 2866249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’d do a custom family photo with a wide mat from Framebridge </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-above-fireplace#post-2866242 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 10:43:13 +0000 wrkbrk 2866242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try Pier I.

These are two of my favorite square pieces of art. The West Elm can go either light or dark side up. I have the C+B one in my all blue master and will pair it with yellow and geometric prints in my new living room. Both can be versatile and will look nice with your pretty stone fireplace.</p> <p><a href="https://mobile-beta.westelm.com/products/minted-for-west-elm-abstract-landscape-w2857" rel="nofollow">https://mobile-beta.westelm.com/products/minted-for-west-elm-abstract-landscape-w2857</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.crateandbarrel.com/amphora-print/s657214" rel="nofollow">https://www.crateandbarrel.com/amphora-print/s657214</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/art-above-fireplace#post-2866234 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 09:10:19 +0000 gotkimchi 2866234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’d love some suggestions for a piece of artwork above my fireplace.
