carole have to agree!!find another solution to the colorlessness of your room,get furniture or soft furnishing in color if that is what you would like!!!
The Valley Lane home, also designed by architect Mark Gerwing, is a long open space with a large fireplace dividing the kitchen and dining areas from the living room. What a great place to come home to and light a fire after a long hike or time spent skiing.
Bring it inside. These types of chimneys aren't just for exterior wall applications. Metal chimneys are ideal design elements for two-sided fireplaces, where they help keep the interior spaces more open and connected. This interior wouldn't be nearly as open, bright and spacious with a boxy chimney rising up from the fireplace.

This is a very interesting look. It could work all the way up though not with a pipe exposed of course! I like how it fits nicely next to the brick texture.

like light stain on ceiling-maybe do same glazed look on living room ceiling with slightly dark contrast on tongue and grove seams and dark beams to complement light cabinets and dark counter tops in kitchen
