Home Decorating Paint Design Dilemma

Feature fireplace wall - paint accent

7 years ago

Hi, this is what my living room fireplace space looks like

I am planning to paint this entire space with a pure white color. To cut the monotony of white and introduce a feature wall I am planning to paint this fireplace wall with a different color. What kind of accent color can I go for? This wall now has a big TV instead of the painting.

Thanks!

You could paint it a very deep navy blue, which will help the TV blend into the wall. Then repeat that color with some new drapes. Be careful with the white you choose for the other walls or you may make your rug look grungy in comparison.

If you are keeping the same furnishings, I recommend a charcoal. Then, bring in the charcoal in other place. Example, drapes, pillows, etc.

Could you please post more photos of the room? Thanks.
