I would paint the brick white or at least white wash the brick. I would also change the firescreen to match the arch of the brick close to the opening of the firebox.

Heavier limewash on brick

I like the lime washed brick and the bigger lack screen ideas. I'd also look at painting the herringbone wood a much darker shade of grey . Almost black. I'd also take a look at painting the beams on the ceiling that same shade.

Oh........a funky chandelier like this one will finish it off. Keep the shape round.

Consider an even darker color, shades like charcoal or gunmetal.
