How can I use the fireplace area if I don’t want a TV there?

If you don’t want a TV above the fireplace, use the space as a stylish focal point by hanging a large, softly lit painting or a decorative mirror. Enhance the mantel with accent lighting to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. This approach keeps the fireplace visually prominent without cluttering it with electronics. It invites relaxation and balances the room’s design while letting your TV enjoy the optimal viewing spot in the nook.
