Jim L on Jun 22, 2016Sara's suggestion to use "slate gray" is exactly what I would suggest. Then use drapes that have all of the colors that are in the room. You can add more colors in the drapes and pick up one of the dominant colors for other accents.Helpful Reply

Janet Pizaro on Jun 22, 2016In my opinion I would not paint the chimney a darker color. The room you stated is narrow. Using a dark color on that wall will draw the room in . I would keep that wall the same as the rest and highlight the room with colors in pictures,pillows,carpeting and drapes.Helpful Reply

Carole Bisby on Jun 22, 2016Gosh this is difficult. I would try using a color close to the furniture, take a cushion to the paint store and see if they can match it up and that would accent with the furniture. Drapes maybe with a design with gray and burgundy in it or make cornice boards with the burgundy color to blend all the pieces together. Please update us on this I am very anxious to know how this turned out!! Good Luck, your such a nice daughter!Helpful Reply

Jan on Jun 22, 2016I like it the way it is. Or paint the fireplace wall in a deep dark color, one that matches a large item in the room.Helpful Reply

Samantha on Jun 22, 2016You guys have been brilliant with the answers and they are all fabulous! I'll pop a photo of the room measurements. As the photos don't do justice on the shape and size of the room. It's a long narrow sitting room (this house originally was built like 70 odd years ago)Helpful Reply

Tris Smith on Jun 23, 2016I suggest shiplap around the fireplace bump out. Then I would put light colored bamboo blinds over the windows and topped with white sheers pulled back. This would lighten the heavy furniture. Add Some plants and it should pull it all together.Helpful Reply

Anita Elaine on Jun 25, 2016Do an optical illusion on it. Put up a floating shelf under the TV that will act as mantle. Dark beneath, leave lighter color above. Get narrow picture frames from the dollar store that are 8x30" (paint them white) attach to each side of heater opening to add vertical lines (faux wainscoting).Helpful Reply

Debb Kopp on Jun 26, 2016I like Anita Elaine's idea of some sort of shelf under the TV, as the TV looks odd hung on the wall like it is now. I also like the idea of the lighter/darker colors.Helpful Reply
