Hi! The fireplace surround is concrete. We worked with a local company Hard Topix. They do beautiful work!

I'd be temped to paint it white and either put a black cast iron insert in or line out the opening with brick (love the herringbone example shown below) and put a wood burner in. http://www.chesneys.co.uk/products/accessories/interior-panels/ches-brickherin

Hi. You can paint over it. I think you could use chalk paint or probably zinsser as a primer and then paint of your choice or there are instructions to do it "properly" that I can copy a link to. Why not use one of the paint visualiser apps first though to see what you think, dulux, crown etc have them or try photoshop if you can use it. Personally if you don't like it, I'd remove the surround which hopefully should be in a few pieces and replace it with a reclaimed wooden surround of the period. You should be able to pick up one cheaply on eBay and then sell yours

I'm sure you've already considered if there was any possibility of making this your living room. I know I'd get much more use if the doors/balcony if it was a living room and a sofa would not encroach so far into the room as the bed does. Presuming there's no chance of a swap, for a temp solution I'd move the head of the bed to the fireplace wall and place a headboard or privacy screen/room divider etc to conceal the fireplace. You'd need something that still allows the wardrobe to function but in the short term I don't suppose it would matter if it slightly encroaches on the desk (until you've removed it) By doing this you'll make it less hazardous by covering up the tiles and will also be able to see if the lack of space at the bottom of the bed is as much of a problem as the tiles/hearth were. You can gauge how much effort/money it's worth to gain the extra inches at the foot of the bed. Good luck!

Just a thought, are you changing the colour on the chimney breast? If you are changing the colour of the chimney breast to white too, then the fire surround will look good painted white also. It gives a more contemporary look & makes the room look bigger. As the above comment, you may need to seal the stone first. You can also use a chalk based white paint like Rustoleum. You may not need to seal or prime beforehand if using chalk paint but please check before you begin! All the best!
