What to do with this corner wood burning stove?

This is in my livingroom, we have a fire on a regular basis so it has to stay usable. Thought about putting up a mantle/shelf behind it, thought about using a plaster stencil on some of the tiles to add interest. I keep the string of lights on all the time to brighten up the corner, kind of lame. Thought about painting the stove off white? I need some advice, please! Thank you.
I would pain t the stove first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTNWyBxsSCk
Build shelves around the unit (making sure you have enough clearance for heat) to make the stove look like a built-in. You can put a t.v. on the top shelf and make it look like an entertainment center.
I think it's a pretty area. Maybe decorate some of the tiles like you said. Others will come along with different ideas. You will find one you like!
I just thought about this...maybe just the right idea will come to you.

If you are going to paint it, I would use high heat stove paint, but wait till you can leave the doors open cause that high heat paint stinks terribly.

Happy to help......I love your idea of raising it up. It would totally change the look of the stove....which would also highlight the beautiful tiles you have there 😳
