Decorating a manel with a TV setting on it

I would get two tall matching vases for either side, or two tall thin plants. Then maybe do a gallery wall above the TV with a mix of framed photos and wall decor.
If it were me, I would hang the tv on the wall. Then place tall items on either side, in an odd number and not matching but coordinating. If you feel the need to fill the wall space above, a nice wreath or cool art piece would look great.
You could also build a box to match the new bookcases giving a finished look.... https://www.pinterest.com/pin/511791945140984139/

I agree with hanging the tv on the wall. I think it would have a more finished look, no matter what you decided to put on the mantle
I third hanging it on the wall, that way you can use the bottom area more
Hi have you thought about taking the tv off the mantel and move it to the right either on the wall or on a unit.
