Fireplace help!
I’ve never cared for this fireplace. We don’t use it but it’s too expensive to have it removed. Now that we are doing work and school from home I’d love to make it nicer to look at but I have no idea where to even start! Any help would be graciously appreciated!!

hace 3 añosÚltima modificación: hace 3 añosfirst thing I'd do is take care of those cables. There are tons of DIY ideas on how to run cables in the wall.
This is one way.
Or, better yet, Is there anywhere else you can mount the tv? where you have it now is less than ideal.What about the wall to the right of it? back up and lets see a view of the whole room.
I'd also suggest some type of storage unit for all the toys. A storage bench, and ottoman, some bookcases, etc.
going to need pics of the entire room if you want advice on the fireplace. It can work in your favor, but you'll need to switch around some other things.from what I see, I'd remove all the stuff around it, move the tv, and find a nice piece of art to hang in the middle. (take down the 4 purple pics and hang those in a collage elsewhere)

hace 3 añoswhat's this area? what are those cabs?
any chance the tv can go on this wall and you move the sofa to face it? (hard to tell because all your pictures are still too close. any way you can get a shot of the entire room, or at least show 3 of those walls in one picture???)
do you need a little teaching area for the kids? I see a little desk area and a dining room.what if I showed you something for a new desk/worktop area using Ikea? could you do that?
we just need to move that tv and figure out a placement for everything. that's why I need a picture that shows the entire space

hace 3 añosah, ok. better
well, that tv is in a horrible place . lol. moving the cable cord is easy. This is something that needs to be done if you want a more cohesive living room area. Trust me.
go up in the attic and drop it down to the other wall (unless this is a two story!)or, better yet, call out your cable company! They should move it for you free of charge. (tell them you need to upgrade the box and remote!)
So, you get a wall mount, mount it to the wall, and then get a large tv console to set under it.one with extra storage for kids games and stuff.
see how much better it would look on the wall??
Ikea has a ton of hacks.
you can do something like this on that entire wall. your couch is already facing it. So much better!!
look at the difference! Super easy to DIY too.
This one is super easy to hack. hang up the tv on the wall (after you get that cable moved) and put this beneath it. use the baskets for toys and paper work. Assign the kids their own cubbies
want to incorporate the kids study center too? do something like this w/the book cases.
for that corner desk area, try something like these ideas.
do some upper shelving and take advantage of addition storage.
look at this one. basically the same as above, just a diff design. these are ikea. you could do two sides of the drawers. Shelving is a must. maybe do a filing cabinet
after you do this, come back and we can work on the fireplace! - PRO

basically, you would be watching tv like shown here. bring in a larger rug, maybe a chair, coffee table or ottoman. We'll address the other stuff, below.
