Can you take a picture from farther away so we can see space better? We have a feature wall this is a dark grey.

Chalky blue sure.. but what other colors might be in the rest of the area? is kitchen open?

Ive uploaded a few more pictures of the room from different angles...

nothing in the room is blue. will you be changing any of the furniture?

you never said what the finish is. will you be doing anything on the hearth/bench?

what about some wood veneer on the front of the bench/hearth?

with the size of your room, I'd do something like this. black basalt or slate on the bench top, w/a nice wood veneer beneath it.

hang a nice piece of blue art (like shown below) over the fireplace for color

Are you liking simple art - here's light paint:

Hi @Beth H. :no the furniture will remain as it is (sofa is a mink colour ) maybe a plant in the corner but still undecided about everything. I’m so indecisive!

so the entire media wall including the bench has been plastered.

the gas fire area around can get rather hot so not sure if I could hang wall art over jt xx

I’m going to suggest you paint the chimney the white of your woodwork and take advantage of the raised hearth, making a bench seat.

@everdebz thank you. I thought I was being too safe/boring with a lighter colour. any other suggestions xx

@WestCoast Hopeful thank you. I was trying to avoid grey colours. they just seem to be everywhere. I have uploaded a few more pictures xx

Of course just sharing our darker wall idea. That said, how much light do you have? Our room is very bright so the dark feature wall section is not an issue. But your room, although shades are drawn, appears darker? I would be hesitant to paint a dark colour

@WestCoast Hopeful those pictures were taken in the evening. the room itself has 12 spotlights. It can be quite bright. i Just cannot decide what I want xx

Idk where photos are located. Does that wall get direct sunlight?

Some options for materials from paint to wood.

you could do something like this two tone.

Two tone is lovely. On our fireplace wall we mistakenly chose a tv larger than the fireplace insert. That was all on us though, it was designed not like that and we went off script...oops. Anyway you won’t have that problem with tv beside fireplace but I’m attaching pic below anyhow for an idea and how adding a bit of colour looks good. You said you didn’t want grey though. :)

@JudyG Designs thanks Judy. I’ll run this past the OH x

@WestCoast Hopeful that is stunning 😍 might have To have A rethink about that grey. what colour are the rest of your walls? you have plenty of natural light and looks open plan?

We do have an open plan with lots of light. The whole house is grey owl then the one wall is Chelsea Grey.
