IMO adding a little color could be nice since you have so many neutrals already. Maybe a greenish greige, like RH Silver Sage, BM Camouflage, BM Baby Turtle or Ace Hazy Day for just a hint of color. Or find either an area rug or fabric to slip cover the orange chair and pull a color from one of those.

Getting lots of comments on the built-in....think 1970s built-in...it needed to go. The bottom cabinets were about 2 feet deep, and took up too much of that wall, plus didn't allow for a nice accent chair. Of course we would've assumed that they had built the fireplace properly instead of not finishing the stone around. I would much prefer wood floors, but DH doesn't want hard surfaces everywhere...I know the wood would hold up better long term and be better for resale.. I think I am going to have him put up a wood piece on the bad side. Eventually we might do some nice smaller scale built ins...but the other built in needed to go before flooring. I will make a mantle box probably with a nice corbel on the bottom on each side. The fireplace cover definitely needs to go. I do like the idea of painting the inside of the fireplace a matte black...and I can look for a different "fire" for inside the fireplace. I will find a nice picture or mirror for above the fireplace, and decorate the mantle ledge. Hopefully with a nice paint color and the rest of the room decorated, the fireplace will be nice. Thank you everyone for your replies. Beverly-is your first photo and the one next to it a before and after? I would love a link to that if you have it...I do like the grayish green color they painted the mantle and the corbels under the mantle. Thanks!

Hello. If you like a quiet, relaxing and pleasant living room design, then you can use a mild pale pink color. The walls painted in this color make the space warm and comfortable. Monochrome design is another variant of decorating a modern living room. If you choose this option, the colors should be light or neutral, such as pale pink. The light brown tone of the walls is accompanied by a neutral color with textiles, such as gray, cream or beige. This creates an elegant, calm and warm living room. Chocolate brown, which is evenly distributed throughout the room, creates a cozy, elegant and serene space. And plants enhance this effect. Relaxing atmosphere will help create a white-g blue design.

Hi, I've used Grey Wisp more than once and it is one of my favourite colours. I don't see blue in that paint colour at all. More green than anything but leaning towards grey. When I chose it, I was looking for a colour that mimicked the colour of silvery coloured moss on rocks at our cottage. I have it in a room that gets a lot of sunlight, southwest facing and it is more grey-green in that room. I also have it in a room that has an east facing window, so it only gets morning sun. It is darker looking in that room, leaning more green. I'm not sure its going to give you the grey colour you are looking for. If you can find some posts with comments from Lori Sawaya (spelling may not be correct, maybe Sayawa??)), she seems to be a wonderful Houzz resource for paint colours. Search around and if you find some of her posts she is almost sure to have made a recommendation on a grey that should work. Updated...here is a link to Lori's comments in another post. https://www.houzz.com/user/funcolors thanks
