Help with Fireplace wall
I need help with this wall. I feel like it is boring. I’m not sure if I just need different display items or a bigger change. I toyed with painting above the fireplace a different color but due to the drop down on the ceiling would either have to make a cut line with paint straight up or continue the paint around the ceiling which I don’t love. Another option is to paint or put a neutral wallpaper on the wall behind the shelves on either side of the fireplace.
The walls are all light gray except for the accent wall next to the stairs that you can see in the second picture. I welcome any ideas on how to make this look better. Thanks!

I love the Charcoal accent wall in the entry. Use that same color on the ceiling here and give the room some intimacy in this open floorplan. Define and unify the two spaces.
Put plants in the windows for some softness. Books on the shelves bring a sense of coziness by the fire. Move the Fiddleleaf to an area with more light.
Here is my concept...the ceiling is the same shade as the accent wall. Yes the ceiling fan stays, I just didn't place it in my idea boards.

Comments (29)Beautiful home. Love the big windows, the fireplace, and the antique dresser. I wanted RH Flax for my dining room redo, but it did look very dark in my room. Also, it was a good contrast for my armoire and dining set, but not so great for the old very dark sideboard on the opposite wall. If I had had a bigger room, I would have tried it. You do need a good contrast color for the fireplace stone and if you are working with a mix of RH Cappuchino, Flax, and Antique White, I think you just might have it. The first photo Squirrel posted was my favorite, and on this monitor (not my regular computer) it looked like a dull green. Only go for green if you really want it though. I think the brown combo is going to be wonderful. Flax is pretty deep, but in a well-lighted room, it would be lovely. Red...See MoreHelp with this fireplace/wall situation.
Comments (0)My husband and i bought this home almost 9 months ago and so far this is all I have and I'm not liking it.. I have no clue on how to decorate, I don't even know what style I'm into. I like a lot of blacks, whites & greys. I have heard of Rustic , shabby chic , modern and industrial (im sure theres plenty more) thanks to Pinterest and YouTube but I'm not sure I fit into any of those categories. I would greatly appreciate any ideas or even DIYs (easy one, not to great with projects) I have a friend who told me she uses this app all the time and it's very helpful....See MoreNeed help with fireplace wall - difficult asymmetrical configuration!
Comments (7)if you want to spend more money, you could have a symmetrical bookcase type wall unit built on both sides of the fireplace, maybe with a bridge over it, that would completely block out the window on the left. Leave a large space for a mirror above the fireplace. if you went this route I'd do it in a color to match the wall or similar light color. It looks like you have other windows off to the right side. You might have to add a little more lighting at that end of the room to make up for lost of the window. A cheaper solution would be to put drapery completely covering the window on the left and a matching one on the right side of the fireplace just covering the wall but the whole thing in a symmetrical arrangement. you could have the drapery rods at the same level as that uncased opening on the right....See MoreHelp with fireplace wall!
