Do you have a few Photos.......
Hello, Fireplaces can be painted or often retiled and I find looking around at the visuals on Pinterest or Houzz might offer some inspiration and ideas.
Heres some Hometalk ideas that I saved

You can paint the brick for a drastic difference. HERE IS a fireplace my DIL painted white for a beautiful finish. In THIS POST you can see the fireplace in our current home we're renovating where I'm painting it a shade of black.
In very proud of how my fireplace turned out. It was sort of an orange/pink brick. 😲
I used a regular white latex paint and brushed it in with a strong brush, working the paint into the crevices of the bricks. But then I immediently scrubbed it back off with an old dry towel. The results were that the paint stays but it does not look painted at all! It looks so fresh and clean but not painted! Love, love it!
Plus, it was really very easy and fast!
You could paint the grout! I did this to my brick fireplace and it made a huge difference, all with a little can of paint! https://rootsandwingsfurniture.com/blog/brickupdate/
