Fireplace help please

We are going to have a solid fuel stove in this fireplace something similar to the photo attached.
We can't have a wood mantle /surround nor a limestone and a marble or granite full surround fireplace is proving costly. Would any of you have any alternative suggestions/ thinking outside the box?

Help with fireplace
Comments (2)Actually I managed to find a stockist of chalk paint which is fantastic as it needs no sanding, no primer just straight on to the marble, and made a start on it tonight, I didn't think to take a picture before hand, but I will post a pic after :-)...See Moreliving room in need of makeover!! please help!!
Comments (17)You can paint the inside of FP opening charcoal and then I would go for a blue/grey and not greige. Those colors tend to be very dark. You have black furnishings and a blue/grey would look very fresh. Your art above FP has blue in it, so replace rug and get some pillows for sofa that will bring in the colors of the painting. Why not just put in some shelves, one big enough to hold tv. That would give a more open concept to room. If you need one enclosed to store components, that would fit also. I would not build up too high on the wall....See MoreNeed help please with this wall in living room
Comments (2)Simple is the right style for the fireplace. But that means you can't crowd it with large furniture or it easily gets lost. Can you rearrange the furniture?...See MorePlease help me to update my old antique pine kitchen
Comments (10)I agree, I think the kitchen units are quite charming. The tiles date it, the top of the dresser and the piece over the window. Agree, would paint the ceiling a soft chalky white. I know they're becoming a little overdone but metro tiles would suit but handmade ones in a soft white unless you just remove the tiles altogether and have a splashback by the oven. Can you afford to update the floor? The dresser offers good storage space, have you considered either just removing the top half or updating the top so changing the architrave and glass panes? The fire itself looks lovely, do you need the heater in front? I also like the brick but the recesses are dating it. I definitely wouldn't paint the brick, if you were to do anything I think it would need plastering over to cover the niches unless you are able to match the brick. Do you have a better pic of the firep? If you are set on painting the kitchen units, I would look at the really dark greys and inky Blues for the base units, as I think they'd suit the style well, with brass cup handles with a very pale grey for ŵall units. Or if you want the same colour units, look at a mid tone grey....See More

8 years agoPersonally we would fireboard the chamber, lay a hearth of choice and I would have a beam to set it off, could even tile the back. Full liner and hetas certificate of compliance is a must. Giving you a curve ball idea why not have an inset and be a little different? Two ideas attached.
