What colour should I paint this fireplace?
12 years ago
We have this hideous black tile fireplace surround. I would love to rip it out and replace it but for now I will just have paint it. The tile has a ripple texture which you may be able to see in the second photo. The wall is a taupe colour and the carpet is a pale honey. What colour and finish(gloss/matte?) would you suggest painting it given the colours in the room and the texture of the tile.Thanks in advance Houzzers!

Comments (11)There are a thousand ways to use mirrors beautifully in a living room -- just not any old mirror in any old place, that I would agree with I think you should have art over the fireplace, and I see potential for using a scattering of small mirrors to bring light into the alcove and counterbalance the somewhat awkward angle of the TV. I'm assuming there's nowhere else to put the TV? I agree that the furniture in that corner is rather too flimsy to handle either the size of the TV or the bold black boxes of the fireplace and hearth. How about a striking floor vase?

Comments (0)Hey everyone Just looking for some advice. I’ve attached pics of my shower room wall and floor tiles. Looking for some inspiration on how to finish it and what colour to paint the walls? I had a really pale pink in mind but I’ve completely gone off that idea. I was thinking more moody maybe like a dark grey? Any ideas welcome. Thanks...See MoreWhere should I put my TV and should I get a corner sofa? Living room
Comments (8)I think lovely opportunity to move couch onto wall opposite armchairs move all seating in away from walls (would probably change in time type seating as too large for room ) allowing circulation with coffee table in the middle. This then opens up wall that couch on now for a unit with open shelving housing the TV there as some gorgeous examples of these & can add colour . Lovely bright room smaller furniture for sure ....See More

- 12 years agoOoh Darzy I like your thinking. Actually the curtains are taupe and a nearly mint green - not stripes more they blend into each other (see pic). But if I got some art picking out those 2 colours that could work. I love teal but not sure about it on this wall. Maybe coral could be nice or is that too on trend? I also have an old chair I need to get reupholstered and was struggling for ideas for that. But a floral pattern with the green and taupe from the curtains and a third colour that matches the art could work well - ideas, ideas, ideas!Thank you Houzzers I knew you'd help me to look at this differently.
