The fireplace is the natural focal point of the living room, and a fireplace wall can be a staging area for anything you want to spend a lot of time looking at. What’s the one thing in your living room you probably spend the most time looking at? Your TV, naturally!
There are lots of different fireplace wall ideas that will work well with a TV. You can coordinate the wall with both the style of the fireplace and the style of the rest of the room. While white is one of the most popular colors, there are many other options are available. Consider including interesting textural materials like brick, stone, and tile. Shiplap, that farmhouse standby, is a perennial favorite as well.
