Choose a nice pastel colour and spray with PU paint-it will look stunning

Your photographs are lovely and very high quality. I would advise you to pick one favourite image in portrait format and have it made into a wall-mural. There are several companies that will use your own image to create a bespoke wallpaper, including Photowall and wallpaperink. Whichever firm you choose can make a bespoke, image that with fit the wall perfectly.

Hello Nicola E, How you treat the paint work entirely depends on what you want to stand out.. The fireplace or the wardrobes.. This too depends on what else is happening in the room... If just a bed then it's entirely possible to create a feature of said wardrobes by painting them a bolder colour or the chimney breast a darker colour.. Look at the room and consider what you'd like to have as a focal point and how big the room is.. Shades of cream and off whites are far nicer than white.. So if you decide to include a white scheme, definitely look at shades of off white and creams.. Little Greene has a lovely range of chalky colours.. such as Whitening, White Lead, Stock etc.. These can be chosen for wood and walls.... They give a warm, chalky and sophisticated look which can blend beautifully with colours such as Celestial blue or James just to talk of blue and these are warm not cold blues .. I also like Juniper Ash which is a slightly mauve colour but look for warm versions of a colour you like.. So if the fireplace is to stand out and the wardrobes are a pale creamy colour the accent and focus is the fireplace which will benefit if the room is smaller than you'd like.. If you have a large bed then this might be the best way to consider it. If the room is large and you want something to create a statement then consider the fireplace and wardrobes.. A shade or two darker for wardrobes than chimney breast will create a frame surrounding both the fireplace and for the bed if this is facing on the opposite wall.. Blend the bedding and cushions, should you choose them into the scheme to create a cohesive and stylish finish. Lastly if you want a pale room with painted wardrobes these will form a statement and frame if you have less in the room... : )) Blended.... Contrast... This one isn't a bedroom but you get the idea..

Hi Sarah, for a pop of colour have a look at our Wall Art. Or as you're keeping the classic look of the house have a look at our wooden dream catcher wall clock. If you have any questions about these please let us know. Thanks :)

Antique mirror over fireplace mantel

As an alternative you could just mirror the alcoves and have art over the fire. It may not need to be toughened then. If you want it over the mantle I'd just have a mirror rather than go the whole width of the chimney breast if that's what you meant

I think it's better suited to the top one. It's beautiful. I would paint it to make more of a feature and I would paint the central panels either side of the mirror the same as the main walls and the rest (including the mantelpiece) in a darker colour. Hope this helps.
