Comments (7)Hi Kat. Your ceiling looks really low to me unless it's the pic. If it is I wouldn't go for a bold wallpaper as the contrast with the ceiling will accentuate it. I might lighten the fire surround and add art or a mirror to give a little height. I'd either follow the lines of the insert or bricks re size of art/mirror but try it with a paper template first to see what size works best. If you want wallpaper I'd paper the alcoves but something with a light background colour to work with the walls. Something with a vertical pattern might work light a trellis or trailing flower etc...See MoreChimney breast design, paint full wall or alcoves

Comments (9)As others have said, it is a personal decision. There are lots of photos of fireplaces ‘recessed’ between alcoves, and it can look very smart, especially with a big mirror. (I found this one on Houzz.) For me, I’d find a big wall of wardrobes would be too much homogeneous-wardrobe-door and I’d go for the fireplace every time. However, be aware that fitting a decorative fireplace can be a hassle if the hole was bricked up rather than boarded over. You’d also need to source a fireplace you like that suits the period of the house, which is harder for 1920s houses than Edwardian or Victorian ones. … but you’ll gain a real feature and add so much character so definitely do it if you feel drawn to it!...See MoreCarolina
