Accent wall with deep corner fireplace?

8 years ago

I am planning on painting the window wall a different color. Will it look okay with the corner fireplace? Or will the corner look odd with the 2 colors above the fireplace? Main color is SW Twilight Gray and accent color is SW Mink. Thanks for any advice!

Hi - I would not paint that wall with a different color, it will just accentuate the strange corner above the freplace. Actually, I wonder why that corner above the fireplace was not closed with a diagonal wall? Imo that would look better and help with decorating the walls.

I have to agree about the corner. Kind of kicking myself now...wish the contractor had given me that advice.
