I love the reclaimed wall look. You can get slips that look like brick that are easy to install and look exactly like a real brick wall. If you are to nervous to go all out I would get the slips and paint them white, then you have the brick effect without it being too imposing. Best of luck with it all. Emma

Thanks for your comments Emma. Going to go with the slips for sure and planning on keeping the reclaimed look, although was considering painting the original bricks inside the fireplace matt black too look sooty, if you know what I mean??

hi ! lining up the sofa to a feature such as a fire place is a good start... but if moving the door complicates issues then maybe it might be easier to move the fireplace ? As it looks like its not got one at the moment ? so you'd be putting it in anyway ? personally i like a pair of chairs and a decent height table betweeen them in a bay ... somewhere to play chess etc ... its tricky to comment more without room sizes ... if the fire you are thinking of is a faux one, I'd suggest maybe consider sofa on existing tv wall, and tv/ fireplace on internal wall might offer up another option ? that way you could maybe have seating on the wall between dining and lounge and the external wall, and bay ? its quite nice to see seating when you walk in a room, (with pics above ) and then get the bonus of a feature like a fireplace when you are in there ! ...changing the internal doors to glazed might give a bit more light into hallway which might be nice ! if current are fire doors though - then keep as they are! ( if it has ground floor and more than one upstairs level they will / should be fire doors )

Hi. Have you chosen the brick yet? depending on the colour of the bricks you may want to choose the White to blend with them
