Not sure where you are located. This is a standard gas linear fireplace approx. 40" wide. Many manufacturers have similar gas models. The tile is from Stone Tile in Toronto and is polished limestone. There are porcelain tiles that mimic the look of natural stone, which cost less.
Hope this helps.

I think your inclination toward rustic and distressed pieces is the right way to go. Consider a movable coffee table - I see 2 recliners that may necessitate some table shifting?- an area rug large enough to incorporate all the seating, rather than just a hearth rug, and enclosed storage for your electronics. If you can post shots of the room, other Houzers may have some more ideas.

What to do with fireplace

A Rumford design is very shallow, has outward-flaring sides, a back that arches forward, a curve on the underside of the front lintel leading back to a broad slot-like flue with a flue chamber above it. The overall front opening is almost square, sometimes slightly taller than wide. Rumford fireplaces are very distinctive looking. You can get some basic information from this wikipedia article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumford_fireplace and there is plenty of info online, even ready-made reproductions (more or less accurate). Rumford developed his improvements and published them in the late 1790s, just before fireplace heating was displaced by stove heating (a process already well underway when Rumford developed his improvements). Good luck with your whatever you decide to do.

I am assuming you haven't finalised your wall colours and colours of any other fixed elements. In case you have finalised your color scheme you would need to see which of these colours blend well or complement with that scheme. Assuming none of this info is available, then you could look at the neutrals which go with all colours. The white tile and the 2 colours at the end would be preferable. If you want color on the floor as well as drama, you can choose from the 2nd options from both sides or even the 1st from left.

@ Divya Sreedar. You will have to contact all of the ceramic boutiques that deal with imported tiles in Chennai. Attached below is a photo from AMSET ONE store in trivandrum with the subway tiles on display as I have seen. It takes 3 weeks to arrive from order date. If you like us to deal with the purchase please contact us or you could call them directly to find out.

The interesting thing about limestone is it's a natural material, as you know. And some products from one quarry can look similar to another from another quarry. Saltillo has a product called 'ocean' which has more blue cast and one with a more ivory cast.
It's the horizontal lines that are so beautiful. Different product has different degrees of this striation.

Would you be able to mount an LCD above the fireplace or does the stone get hot? Thanks!

You could but I find the tile gets quite hot even after the fireplace has been on for a few minutes. I would not recommend it.

Lots of people put their TVs over a gas FP but we try to design solutions where the TV is at ergonomic height. That is why we like to design a FP and TV at approx. 30-34" above the floor, depending on homeowner height.

It's much more comfortable to watch a TV at eyelevel, when sitting, we find.

The wall will be about 4 feet wide with a 36 inch fireplace. the ceiling is 8 feet - how hight off the ground should we put the fireplace? We want a tv above it. thanks for your advice!
