Hi I am an artist in England and specialise in bespoke art - but I am guessing you are in the US - here is my advice you can look online at saatchiart.com search for price range size style (abstract etc) and even colours there are affordable pieces to be had, you can also select those from the country you are in to minimise shipping costs. Or you could go to a company that prints photos onto large canvases and pick out one or two of your own photos (landscape, seacape, trees etc you will have an affordable solution and something that reminds you of a favourite place or time. You can afford to go bright and bold in this space. From an aesthetic point of view - can you raise the light? even 10 inches would help :)

Think this would tie the whole room together http://www.fireplaceworld.co.uk/package/9121/Adam-Southwold-Fireplace-Suite-in-Oak-with-Colorado-Electric-Fire-in-Brushed-Steel-43-Inch?gclid=CIe6rbGLz8sCFYpAGwodORILQw#.Vu6BAfDfWrU http://uk.dhgate.com/product/birch-tree-pattern-non-woven-woods-wallpaper/230060076.html?utm_source=pla&utm_medium=GMC&utm_campaign=lianmeijack&utm_term=230060076&f=bm|230060076|019011-HomeD|GMC|310918948|pla|lianmeijack|GB|019011018-Wallpapers|t|OSHNBL|0LRF|&gclid=CICT8ryLz8sCFY8y0wod9WMHuw

I think the fire surround will look lovely painted the same colour as the wall ( as borne out by Minnie's pic. The only thing that sticks out for me is the mirror above the wood burner. It's just too large and dwarfs the little fire below. Hopefully, with the fire surround up it'll even up a bit, but i'd down size the mirro, also change the style, the rest of the room has some beautiful country cozy bits and bobs, love that other mirror btw ( not so country cozy ), the ox blood sofa, the flooring etc. Particularly like the dark rose colour on the chair pad that you can see in your second pic, goes really well with the green. Maybe you could pick up a mirror with a chunky carved frame and paint it to match that rose and the sofa? Or go for something like this that gels well with the floor, the sofa and the walls
