The urbane bronze with revere pewter is a nice combination, something like this:

I love to see a dark blue-gray or dark gray-green too, like a Gibraltar Cliffs or Charlotte Slate or Gentleman's Gray or Needlepoint Navy.

Maybe this fireplace wall could tie in the blue you paint on the kitchen cabinets, or a darker version on the same chip.

Thank you!! I love the blue on the fireplace too!

Do you plan to put art over your fireplace?

Because I think that would suffice, unless you have a particular piece in mind and want to bring it out more. Don't see other reasons to accent that spot. It is pretty enough. And it's open, it's part of a big wall.

Which doesn't mean you can't paint it differently. After all you're there, and I'm not.

Sometimes one just falls in love with a color and wants to use it-I know because it happenned to me, and I did use it-but it was an easier place to accent.

Or maybe you can paint a smaller space you want to paint anyway, like a powder bath, and use Urban Bronze or another color that's deep and evocative.

If the room was small I'd give different advice maybe but it seems too big to pull off being painted all dark.

In any case-I personally would paint everything one lighter color, (and tint the ceiling with it accordingly-it has many angles etc..I would try to have less contrast between ceiling and walls), what color-hard to know until one makes samples and looks at them in different light..it might turn out to be Revere Pewter, or not.

And I wouldn't worry about blue-it's easy to bring it in accessories, small accent pieces of furniture, fabrics, etc. You won't need to match precisely future color of kitchen cabinets, just go with the same "warmth" of blue and vary it-lighter, darker, different materials that reflect light differently and seem similar but different because of that-, so it won't read too flat and too matched, but layered and interesting.

Thank you!! I have a big clock or a big mirror to put over the fireplace. I know that the fireplace will be the focal point and wanted to give the room some depth. I have a light blue love seat and a dark leather sofa going in. As well as coral accent pieces. We are having the ceilings painted white. (My goodness I wish I could afford to get rid of the popcorn now, but that doesn’t fit in the current budget.) We are paying for the whole house to be painted is quite a bit, so wanted to keep the colors in touch with what is stylish, yet classic. Thank you very much for your input and time!

IMO, the first thing you need to decide is what it wall and what is ceiling and then paint accordingly. Choose a darker paint for the walls…it will pull the room in for cozy.

For the niche over the fireplace, take a look at ceiling tin tiles.

Pull the furniture into the room…think cozy.

Wow! I never thought of wall tiles! Great idea! Thank you very much!
