Help with fireplace redo
Comments (2)The biggest problem is the scale and balance is off on that wall. You can always cover the brick with tile, marble, granite etc. But the scale will still be off. You need to take into consideration fire code as elkinmeg has pointed out as well. Personally, I'd do something to the wall that the television is mounted on. Perhaps build out shelves, entertainment unit, something in equal scale to the fireplace, perhaps make the mantle a sleek design that would run the whole width of the wall. The room needs balance, the off center fireplace has to be balanced on the other side. Just my opinion....See MoreFireplace hearth options.
Comments (1)I'm a DIYer so teke this advoce with that in mind! With the grille in the lower part of the fireplace insert, I don't think you can build up the hearth (one layer of tile on it probably okay, creating a "raised hearth" not a good idea). Since that looks like an insert to me, bet the white mantle would pull right off. Then you could tile up at least halfway and put in a new mantle (white/traditional or reclaimed/barnwood look or whatever you want)....See MoreFireplace redo in family room
Comments (18)Consider using a visualizer tool on a tile site to see what you may like. It's surprising how changing grout colors and layout makes a difference on the same tile. Arizona tile has a couple of fireplace walls in OTHER: https://justimagine.arizonatile.com/Default.aspx?_ga=2.123517643.1534067370.1583191193-1816866876.1583191193#/type/residential Tilebar allows you to upload your own photo: https://tilebar.com/features/roomvo I think a dark patterned tile could tie the fireplace surround to the TV without being too weighty,. Black and white might be too stark, but maybe deep dark blue or a charcoal that could read as dark blue since you have blue in the room. There was a Houzz article today about all the new blue tile tones. https://tilebar.com/paige-antracite-10-hexagon-matte-cement-look-porcelain-tile.html https://www.flooranddecor.com/porcelain-tile/marbella-polished-porcelain-mosaic-100609148.html https://tilebar.com/diesel-camp-blue-rock-4x12-ceramic-tile.html https://tilebar.com/angela-harris-inspira-oxide-12x24-porcelain-tile.html...See MoreWood Trim - what to paint and what not to paint.
Comments (8)It's your house. Paint as much as you like. This is rare for me but I do not mind the wood around the windows. I might keep it because it goes well with the colors I like. However, you are not me and it is fine to paint it all. Have you considered changing the railing and balustrade? From what I can see I would call the architecture modern. I would not add crown molding. If you paint the fireplace don't use the brightest white. It would be blinding with all those windows....See MoreBadass Chick Extraordinaire
