So our fireplace is right in the middle of our living room , which also has a high ceiling. I was thinking of doing the stacked air stone that I have seen , and maybe going all the way up. Then I started thinking actually maybe I would want to add a light gray , or another color pattern tile around the fireplace, and leave the rest the way it is. I think it looks so small for such a high ceiling. What do you all think?
Sorry it is blurry .... standing under loft area in LR , by entry way of our house.

Amazing - looks so much like my gas fireplace. We were moving things around and I just realized that I left stuff on the mantel. Normally I only have 3 things. I don't have vaulted ceiling like you but they are 9 foot. I love your mantle - we even have similar hearths. You might want to try larger picture or mirror. And I was thinking that something smaller over the chair. Maybe the round thing (clock?) lower than the Pic or mirror. could just play with it util you like it. Let me know what you do.
Cool. I love your white mantle !!
You could use paint instead of stone, and it's easy to do in a weekend. Use a bold paint that would be in line with your fireplace, but contrasting with the wall. Here's an example: https://www.thriftydecorchick.com/2018/05/our-finished-family-room-transformation.html
Bookcases painted to math the mantel on each side to create a built in look.
I think as Ella said a large mirror the size of the mantel, then as Lisa said a narrow bookcase but only to the right to balance that wall. Or a shelf the same length and height and width will also do the trick or narrow console table.
The clock can then go in the middle, and the art work you have now on top of the book shelf. Short plant pots with trailing as you have on each side of mantel and shelf/bookcase.
