The print is not too busy, and the strong vertical lines lead your eye upwards, a pleasant contrast to the horizontal ness of the mantel area. And they soften the area, too. As a former interior designer, I give it two thumbs up. But the ultimate test is whether they grow on you or not, so let that be your guide.
