    Since the mantel is so tall and the whole fireplace is so big, you want something pretty big to be in scale. An inexpensive option that could be flat enough for a mantel would be an arrangement of tall branches. You could spray-paint them white to match your woodwork, and they would stand out against the dark stone. And they would be a natural element, which would go well with the natural stone.

    I just realized the mantel isn't as tall as I thought--I was fooled by the kiddie chairs in front. Still, it is a massive fireplace and you don't want small items that will be overwhelmed by it.

    It always is bad to have fireplaces like this with goofy low windows flanking them. I don't think its the fireplace so much as your drapery looks too frilly and traditional with this more contemporary style fireplace. I'd get rid of long drapes with these and I'd do woven romans instead.

    rip it out! so old fashioned it's like something from the 70s.it's overbearing and far too heavy for a modern room. stone is ok if it;s a comolkiment to the room decor , not the dominant feature.

    When you have such a massive and imposing structure, it is always best to let it do its job and not clutter the look with small objects, get rid of the stuff on the mantelpiece, get rid of fussy draperies, Ibelmona's large art work is perfect. In this case , less is more is the solution.
