Need Help For 1972 Den With Fireplace

t x
8 years ago

We knew this house was a total remodeled when we bought it 6 months ago. Everything is original 1972 including the groovy orange, green and yellow shag carpet in each bedroom. We cannot remodel everything at once. I cannot take the dreariness of the den anymore. Can you help with a cost effective way to cover up the ugly fireplace and pick some kind of paint color for the painted grass cloth covered walls? I hired a professional who picked Sherwin William Maison Blanch SW7526, but that just makes the room look even more dingy. The white paint on the right side of the fireplace is Snowbound SW7004. We intend to replace carpet, railing, curtains, etc. House is contemporary. Thank you in advance for any help. I am willing to hire another professional again if they can pick the right color. Not opposed to a color other than white or beige. Love oranges, lime greens, blues, etc.

    To enhance the space and bring life back to the beautiful brick fireplace: try painting the space SW 6218 Tradewinds.

    A very inexpensive way is to install glass stick on tiles over the brick work there are a lot of choices out there and look great!....only on the brick wall,the rest is just paint.

    work on the brick work first,that color is nice but do the fireplace first that's your focal point in the room..
