On second thought, just remove that bookshelf. It really takes away from the focal point of the room (the fireplace)

you should replace it with something taller or shorter, but not the same height as the fireplace.

Also, fyi, i purchased the faux-wood plantation shutter style blinds online for a LOT less than local prices. Installtion is straight forward. Its a great alternative to curtains if you're looking for window treatments in the bedrooms
