Hi, my wife and I have just moved into a new house and we have a double-sided natural gas fireplace – one side is the living room the other is kitchen (pictures attached – apologies the cat decided to get into shot; note cables were already installed by previous owner for TV)
The firebox has a very tall hearth which has raised the height of the firebox (total height of box + hearth = 41”)
Does anyone have any ideas of what kind of fireplace design we should put around this box? On the living room side we’d like to keep the fireplace as low as possible so we can put a TV above the fireplace without having to strain our necks upwards!
If we went for classic trim/filler panels AND header AND mantel shelf, we’d end up with the mantel shelf around 60” from the ground – putting a TV above would end up very high. We are looking for an interesting design but something that would keep the profile fairly low. what would be a "standard" fireplace design for this room (if one exists)?
Thank you!
