   • Mount It Correctly. The first thing you should be considering is the mounting system—now's not the time to cheap out or overlook where the studs are in your wall.
   • Understand the Material. “All fireplaces are different and it is critical while mounting to understand the materials you are working with,” adds interior designer Jessica Neuman from Numi Interior Design.
   • Contain Your Fireplace. Heat and electronics are typically not a great match so you want to ensure your TV is at a reasonably safe distance from any heat coming from your fireplace.
   • Adjust the Viewing Angle. It’s vital to consider the viewing height when placing a television—even if it is high above the fireplace. Televisions should be set at eye level, but that won't be feasible if you have a standard-sized fireplace.

   Mar 13, 2024 · The TV tends to be the centrepiece of the living room, or really any room it happens to be in. And if there is a fireplace in the middle of the space, then the traditional (and only natural) place to put the TV is above the mantelpiece.

   • Above the Fireplace. Mounting the TV above the fireplace is ideal when a fireplace is a focal point in an entertainment or family room. This saves space and allows users to switch between uses without the need to rearrange furniture.
   • Built-in Cabinet. Linear and wide electric or gas fireplaces are popular and usually have lower heights. Framing dimensions of this sleek fireplace can be as low as 23″ with a fireplace height of only 15″.
   • Beside the Fireplace. Not all fireplaces are positioned at the center of the room. Placing the TV beside the fireplace can balance the look if the fireplace is offset at the center.
   • At the Center of the Room. Place the Television on one side of the room when a fireplace is positioned in a corner. This frees up a wall space beside the fireplace that is wide enough to place a built-in shelf or an alcove.

   In two new construction homes I’ve worked on recently, the person who created the house plans (not me!) designed the window wall to be symmetrical with equal amounts of drywall on either side. Great! Actually, it’s not great. In the first house, the plans didn’t account for the depth of the fireplace or built-ins on the fireplace wall. So, once the...

   I have been surprised at how passionate people are about incorporating a raised hearth into their fireplace design. I am not a huge fan because they jut out into the room and make furniture placement difficult. I’m also a clumsy person and often bang my shin on their sharp corners, so maybe I am just biased. My lack of grace aside, a hearth creates...

   I am also not a huge fan of the two-story ceiling in the living room. I love tall ceilings, but 18′ is really high and can often feel cavernous depending on the room proportions. In the context of the fireplace wall, it creates another conundrum – what do I do with all that space above the fireplace? Depending on the roof design and second-floor la...

   Like I mentioned earlier, I love symmetry. I’m a huge fan. But, in the end, symmetry is not the only way to achieve balance. Asymmetrical balance is definitely an option, but it needs to be considerate of the room proportion to actually feel balanced. Asymmetrical balance is more challenging to create than symmetrical balance. So, why is this an is...

   Study lots of inspiration images of fireplace walls and identify what you like about them. It may turn out that you really love built-ins encased in drywall. You need to know this at the earliest stages of planning – it’s very difficult to add later on and sometimes impossible.

   Analyze your personal preferences to determine if you are a person who prefers (maybe even needs symmetry) to feel like a room is balanced. If you know an asymmetrical design will always feel off to you, then focus on achieving a layout for the fireplace wall that is symmetrically balanced. In this photo above, my clients wanted a very light makeov...

   Decide if you can live with or even prefer to mount your TV over the fireplace. In many new homes, the architecture dictates that the TV be located over the fireplace because often, there is nowhere else to put it. If you are in the early phases of designing a new custom home build, request that the architect layout the great room to avoid the TV o...

   The hearth decision is a personal one but also a design feature that can be dictated by the size of the room and the amount of space available for circulation. Is a raised hearth critical to the aesthetic and style you crave for your fireplace wall design? Or would the fireplace design work just as well without a hearth? If you do choose to add a h...

   The fireplace insert size and style is very important for the overall design of your fireplace wall. If your style leans modern, maybe you would prefer a linear fireplace style, which helps with the height of the mantel. If your style is more traditional, go for a square or almost square style box. Remember to inquire about the requirements for the...

   How to choose a fireplace mantel?

   • The best choice is choosing long and narrow fireplaces; they don’t go against a small space! In fact, they add affluency and sophistication to your room. Similarly, don’t use too heavy mantel (wide) if you have a small living room; they will consume too much space. Instead, go for sleeker and thinner mantel whether for your TV or your fireplace.
