I would suggest that you declutter, move out the cabinets, window frames, and TV and paint the entire fireplace wall a very dark grey or black. Then, I would suggest you have white-painted bookshelves with a place for storing the TV built on each side of the fireplace. The TV needs to be lower than where you have it, and doors on a shelving unit could be closed when the TV is not in use. A large painting with a wide, white frame would look wonderful above the fireplace and would emphasize the fireplace area as the focal point of the room. I love the wood cabinets, but they may serve you better in a different room of the house.

Then have that colour mixed in washable matte. The contrast in finish between the wall and the trim will look interesting. White will show off your kitchen beautifully and you can add colourful artwork/accessories.

That makes we want to leap in there with paint of ANY colour and paint from ceiling to floor. Oh dear, not good, hey? I suggest you get a colour expert to try to identify the white on the cabinets, which presumably has some or other undertone, identify the colour, and go just a bit darker -- one or two samples down on the colour card. And paint the walls top to bottom that colour. Actually, this redo looks like real fun. It's going to make such a difference. May I suggest you get rid of that key pattern on top of the cabinets? It's really meaningless. Not beautiful, not functional.

I hate that floor but can’t afford to redo it anytime soon. Thanks!
