Fireplace mantle and hearth decisions

Two sided fireplace that will be stone all the way to ceiling. One side faces kitchen other side great room.

Question 1: should I have the mantle on both sides be the same color? I was thinking of great room being egret white like the trim and crown and then kitchen side being walnut stained cherry wood like the cabinets. Ideas?

Question 2: hearth. One side or both sides? Height and depth?

    I don't think they need to be the same at all. But I would do one on each side. The height should be dictated by the fireplace specs. I just installed one that specified it had to be at least 10" above top of fireplace.

    About the hearth, depends if you want to sit right next to it. if you don't, I would just put stone below fireplace on wall.

    Thanks for quick advice. Do you think I should do the same hearth design on both sides? Would it look off if I did no hearth on kitchen side but did put one on the great room side?

    I think you could do completely different things on each side. Each side is its own room. I think you would be more likely to use a hearth on the living room side for sure.

    The fireplace is gas.

    Consider no mantles at all. Cleaner lines. Consider also that the two mantles do not have to be made of wood. Depending on your style preferences, a stone, marble or terracotta mantle from a salvage store, in a color contrasting the stone surround could create a very powerful effect.

    Dear owner, what did you decide to do regarding this design dilemma and are you now happy with your choices? Thank you, Curious Person with a Similar Dilemma :-)

    Would love to know what you decided. Same question on how to treat 2 sided fireplace. Looking for a more contemporary feel. It also is kitchen and great room. Thanks
