Paint advice needed
Morning,
We have just painted our chimney breast in Stiffkey blue. It is a fairly small lounge which is north facing but with a big bay window so light. There are shelves to go up in the alcoves, a stove to go in, plus a big mirror on the chimney breast. My question is do I paint the alcoves too?
The other 3 walls (and inside the fireplace) will either be ammonite, skimming stone or Wevet.
Many thanks

Comments (14)I've painted a landscape on the wall, wallpapered one and enlarged a photo and had it printed on canvas. There are inexpensive outlets that shoukd have a framed printed landscape too. Just need to keep looking. Kirklands used too, Z Gallery, Homegoods. Or try searching online....See MoreBadly need paint colour advice for living room!
Comments (12)I think you should consider houssaon's idea of painting it the same color as the walls. Is the top of the tv console painted wood or is it a stone or composite? In the pictures my ipad shows me speckles (not dirt!!). My ipad sometimes *lies* to me. :) If the gray is the prominent color in the paint, maybe a darker gray would be a good choice too. If you are happy with the gray/green color next to your bookcases, then you should be able to pick a gray that would look good with both the new paint, and the bookcase. Gray next to the fireplace shouldn't be a problem :)...See MoreGuest bedroom decor advice needed
Comments (3)As the rest of your house is decorated in muted colours with the exception of the bathroom), I would stick with that. Duck egg/pale blues and pale greens or chalky pink would be very restful for bedrooms. Or navy blue looks smart with a neutral scheme....See MoreHallway advice needed!
Comments (17)Hi. Have you ever considered a real interesting eye catching piece of art work to really brighten up an area, I think a select piece of art would really make the space stand out, add interest, colour, texture and add a great talking point to the room.... Please check out my website if you like the idea and please get in contact, commission work is also welcomed so if you like a particular style I can do in a select colour palette and size as an original piece…..I’m also able to produce all original paintings in high end print format, in any size same or smaller than the original. (all within proportions to the original so not to cause distortion) All prints shown are Giclee prints onto soft textured fine art media. All prints come with a white border these can be made to measure too. So lots of options, www.guigsart.co.uk...See More

4 years agoWhatever colour you do the walls, I agree with E D i'd paint the shelve either in the same colour as the Chimney stack, or leave a natural wood to go with a mantel shelf.
I would definitely paint the cupboards Stiff Key though.
I wouldn't paint inside the alcove anything but black, log burners make a mess and you'll see the dirt very easily on a pale wall. We left ours brick.
