You could get a big, art deco style mirror to hang above it, maybe something like:

7 år sidenI love that clock! Amazing how different the two styles are, isn't it. I agree that you could try hanging an art deco mirror above the fireplace to see if it rebalances the space. Are the twinkly lights permanent or for Xmas? They draw attention to the fireplace and I'd like to see a photo of the fireplace without the lights or, if you want them, with the lights around the mirror or maybe on top - the aim is to draw attention away from the fireplace. Or accept that that area isn't art deco, show it off in all its glory and turn other bits of the room into art deco shrines. At the moment it is a bit of a clash of styles; if an art deco mirror doesn't work, put it on another wall and move the clock.

7 år sidenI agree about the fairy lights as they are drawing more attention to the fireplace. I would also remove everything else from the mantle so the clock isn't fighting for attention. It looks like the mirror is a attached to the mantle in which case it'll have to stay. If it isn't I would suggest a very simple deco mirror. Look at the Laura Ashley 'Gatsby'.

7 år sidenHi Dawn,
Carefully remove the two top Knewl posts and paint the wall behind them a subtle different shade and that will make quite a difference on being less imposing.

Why not try sell it and use the money to get something Art deco. Or go to a place that sells second hand fireplaces and see if they would swap it for an Art Deco one?

7 år sidenLove the clock - I would box in the knewel posts with thin MDF (using the squares already in place top and bottom of each) and remove the embellishments. This would square of the whole thing and look more Art Deco in style, perhaps finding some Art Deco style tiles to place behind the fire itself.

7 år sidenI agree with the crafty countess about using MDF to cover the newel posts and paint them the same colour as the rest of the fireplace. I would, however leave the rest of the fireplace as it is. as the clock makes a lovely Art Deco statement in itself, and it might be more effective to keep the look subtle on such an imposing edifice!!

7 år sidenWe had a similar hideous fireplace in our Victorian flat. We bit the bullet and ripped it out ourself, it turned out to be a reproduction and I suspect yours is too! It was easy to take it out. I then bought a smaller, more appropriate fireplace on gumtree for £100 and attached it using grippafill and two brackets at the side onto the wall. We had to pay a plasterer about £80 but it was amazing the difference it made!

7 år sidenHi. I think there's a lot you can do to make this work with your scheme and property. Do you have more photos of the room or property?
When designing a space I think it's s mistake to ignore what features the room or property already has to offer so I would always start by looking at this and working out from there.
It's looks like a great room and Art Deco is a great style to work with.ARC Bespoke Interiors

7 år sidenHello you can change the Pendant lighting there
and go for something more Contemporarylizziedrips
7 år sidenRemove lights and clutter, keep clock, add stunning Art Deco tiles (colourful) in the fire place and paint dark Matt colour (possibly black or similar). That's what I would so as a temporary measure until I could afford to change. Good luck
