How should I finish my fireplace?
Our lounge room has been work in progress over the last year but we're nearly there.... Does anyone have any suggestions how I can make the fireplace looked finished as it is the centrepiece for the room. I was wondering about a stone mantelpiece surround but struggling to find one that will look right. I saw this wallpaper on here but can't seem to find it online? Can anyone help? :)

2 years agohave you thought about maybe a grey brick/slate wallpaper? its very popular and can look really good. Or depending on the style your going for you could do the stone wall paper and large rustic mantle to add a bit of contrast.

Comments (20)HI -- Well the wallpaper was just done so there is no changing that , soooo I think you should paint the rest of that wall the same white as the white background of the wallpaper and paint fireplace mantel too. Then have two small matching cabinets painted the blue from the paper or the leaf color placed on each side of the fireplace. . Then have white or glass shelves above , maybe three is best . Now the rest of the room painted the exact color of your sofa . Because the room looks small I think it would look best to have the sofa blend into the walls color wise. Now just keep some of your room accents in the blue color but not too much. Remember not to clutter the shelves and if you don't want the shelves then have a large painting on each side and have a big round mirror over the mantel and keep the small items off the mantel and onto the side cabinets ....See MoreHelp me finish my bedroom
Comments (36)I would also definitely go white if the windows are on the green wall. Will be much more natural to tie the accent wall with the stark wht contrasting walls. Always a very chic contemporary look. Also very relaxing as opposed to the treatments standing out when you already have your standout feature- the green accent wall. Great white bed you ordered! Then I love all the blue/green/ silver accent advice. I did a similar room in purples/greys/ whites and we used great posted prints of florals with a little oriental flair in nice big mats w frames. You could do florals or nice big botanicals in greens would be very fresh and modern!! White or silver frames or maybe even the shock of black would be cool....See MoreWhat should we do with this fireplace?
Comments (9)That's a working fireplace isn't it? I agree that the fire surround is probably not in keeping with your tastes and would probably look perfectly at home in a rustic country cottage, but just not for you. There are several options open to you, and if your a bit handy with the DIY, none of them need to cost much, it's just a little hard work. Remove the fire surround and see what dimensions you have with the actual fireplace, it might be that you can also remove the iron plate around it, thus leaving you with a much smaller actual fire. However, be aware that it will affect, the plaster, the skirting and the hearth, as everything is currently built to home the fire surround. You could go............at that point for making good the walls and keep it simple by having a floating shelf only, or another fire surround that's simpler. Loads on Ebay! Just make sure they're suitable for a working fire!...See MoreWhat colour should I paint the walls?
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 More

2 years agoHi - you have such a beautiful living room and have done a fab job! I actually think that the fireplace looks lovely but maybe adding just a timber mantel beam would centre that space. With the addition of maybe a wicker log store to make it feel cosy? Of course if you added anything above though you would have to get rid of that beautiful mirror as doesnt look like they woud both fit - so worth considering which one you'd prefer
I honestly dont think it needs much else!
