Interior designer here. Mirrors are great for over a fireplace… used more so to reflect the room and open it up vs used for function.
However the size of this is way too big and out of proportion with the fireplace. It looks top heavy and not mounted evenly in the space between the mantle and moulding.
Personally I’ve come to terms with TVs over fireplaces and being focal points of rooms. Homes are meant for living in and wall mounted TVs are completely fine if done right. I sort of liked the “before” when she had black tv and black wall as it disappeared. This house doesn’t lend itself to having a “formal” living room and lets be honest… it’s a TV room so lay the furniture out so it’s conducive to comfort and family living and get rid of the stiff formal layout.
The fall garland is pretty in general but I hate the assymetry and hugeness of it with so many focal points on that wall. The branches on left was enough. This is a mess.
