Tv is too high and should not be over a fireplace.

I like the first one better. Why? There’s already a lot going on on that wall.

Those two bookcases would look better placed together somewhere else. They fill the spaces in the most awkward of ways. Just too small, making the proportions all off. Adding texture with wood or brick won’t change that.

Might as well mount the tv to the ceiling

I am partial to number 2. Not a fan of 3 at all.

Three looks not so good, but if it is actually how your wall looks now, I bet it would look a million times better repainted and not weathered/antiqued.
Once you get that outta the way, let’s talk built-ins and move those bookshelves elsewhere!

Definitely the 2nd option. And I agree with the bookshelves making the space feel off. You need either more height on either side of the fire place or something that sits below the level of the mantle to change the way the space feels.

I would do the plain wall, move the TV and the shelves, maybe put the shelves next to each other somewhere else and of course tvtoohigh has its own sub where this room belongs. Then I would add art and plants. It is a nice room with great potential. If you start doing all that trim work it looks odd when the rest of the house doesn’t match that style. You should make the focus to be on some fabulous paintings, vases or small sculptures, plants and the lovely fireplace.

2 has too many competing rectangles, it’s way too busy.
