Modern basement fireplace wall with brick/stone/shelves/mantle?

Any ideas for this fireplace wall? Cool contemporary stone/brick around the fireplace and open shelves on the sides? Stone the entire wall? Mantle?-maybe stainless so its not so traditional? Make each side symmetrical even though its not exact on each side? (left side of fireplace opens up into room) Not a contemporary fireplace but I would like to create more of a contemporary space/wall. Anybody creative have any ideas. Pictures would be wonderful. I would really appreciate it-running out of ideas. Thank you!!!
