help! decorating ideas for a fireplace?

the new room that im getting is on the other side of a fire place.
so the wall has the back of the fireplace. i need ideas to make it a feature, because that wall is going to be purple, and the fire place sticks out of the wall. i really need help.
i cant have a mirror because im having mirrored cupboards, and the mirror on the wall would be facing the three mirror cupboards.
i cant think of anything else but a mirror?
please helppppppp. :)
Hang a large canvas/poster with a wall sconce on each side with flamesless candles.

Easy to make a poster into a canvas.
Buy a sheet of styrofoam at a craft store or any home improvement store.
Cut styrofoam two inches smaller than the poster.
To make the hanger, punch two holes 1/2 inch apart 1 inch from the top in the center,
(where a hanger is on the back of a frame)
thread the ends of a twisty tie (the paper covered wire used to close bread) thru the holes, turn styrofoam over, make a loop and twist the ends together.
Run a bead of elmers glue along the edge of styrofoam, lay on top of the back of poster and wrap poster to the back like a present and glue down the edges, turn over and weight down til dry
Styrofoam is super cheap!

    What about a piece of art the haas the colors of the room to tie everything together. Or make it a little seating area by putting a little table and two small chair in front.
