Hi Donna, Thanks for posting this question! I also would like some answers on this. My fireplace looks very similar to yours but without the tile and my floors are dark walnut. I'm thinking of adding some colorful concrete tile around it and adding peel n stick wallpaper up to the ceiling to make this the focal point of my room.
Here are some ideas on how to fix up a fireplace: https://www.pinterest.com/branzilla/fireplace-fix-up/
I would paint the mantel and surround a color that is midway between the light tiles and the dark insert. Then I would stencil the white tiles a color that works with all of the other colors. Keep the stencil design simple and let the colors become the point of interest.
You could add a glaze to the existing paint to tone done the white if you don’t want to paint. Tile could be replaced or painted.

You could stencil the tiles. That would add just enough without being over whelming.
Mine is very similar. I hope to stencil the tiles with a Spanish design in black. The fireplace is a dark wood as is the flooring, walls are a blue-gray. I want to paint the wood white. Since yours is already white, maybe leaving the design part of the stencil white and painting the background of the tile black would be striking.
Thank you all for your answers & I hope to be able to post a finished picture & it might be a while as we decide & God Bless to you all & Merry Christmas & A Blessed New year in 2019
I would not mess with the tiles. If you ever sell, your taste and the new owners might not be the same. I would however take some paint to the wood around the fireplace. Go with a striking colour that goes with your decor. Any new owner can repaint. Not sure what is above your mantel but add an interesting piece of art work. Easy, cheap and done.
You could get pieces of marble or other stone cut to size, and use masonry glue and attach over existing tiles. Or even wood.
I just purchased some stick on mother of pearl tiles from Amazon. Cut to any size and lots of choices and styles. Also Lowes and Home Depot have a brick a half brick or stone overlay. Really pretty.
