      Is it a working fire place?

      If it’s not a working fire place,it may look a bit tacky but ya

      If it’s a working firer place, remember heat rises and TV facing are made of plastic.
      I would not put it up there ether way.

      The fireplace and tv are separate focal points of room if you do not add any accessories it is up high.
