Colour for fireplace wall

Hi, I am having new covers made for my sofas at the moment - picture of the single sofa below is the fabric I have chosen and this is a picture from the fabric brochure.
Please could anyone advise me on what colour to paint the long wall with the mirror and fireplace on. At the moment the whole room is very cream! I want something that makes a statement! Thank you!

Comments (17)I would go for American oak boards - an amazing bargain and the long wide boards look great. We re-floored a three-story house in 2002. The house has been tenanted ever since, so the floors haven't exactly had much in the way of TLC, but they still look great. And of course, because it is solid wood, we can always just sand and re-oil if needed (though we haven't needed to yet). At the time, it cost less than £2000 for the timber for the whole house - a decent laminate would have cost twice that, even then. We bought a 1930s apartment overlooking Hyde Park in 2006. It wasn't in great condition but, under the grotty carpet, the original parquet was still there, and all the original panelled doors. We fixed it up respectfully and it was a great, and very comfortable, place to live. It broke our heart when we sold and the new owners gutted the place and threw everything in a skip....See MoreAdvice for curtains and wall colour to match fireplace. V traditional
Comments (6)That is just a lovely thing! If my tiled fireplace looked like that I would never have replaced it. Gorgeous Deco styling deserves something spectacular. More room pics please!

Comments (2)Suite, sofa? I wouldn't choose a sofa to match wallpaper. Sofa will likely be most expensive item in your room, I think you should pick what you love then match things to that....See More

7 years agoHi Sherbert. The room looks really elegant and serene and it doesn't really scream bold feature wall to me TBH unless you went bolder all over. I was just looking through an Oka brochure and I quite like the dirty salmon pink by Edward Bulmer paints in the first 2 pics. If not a warm stone colour, farrow and ball elephants breath could work

7 years agoHi,
another option could be to add bold abstract artwork to the wall rather than paint the whole wall.
Heathfield Lighting have some gorgeous table lamps, they also will supply just a lampshade and will use your own fabric
Blues are really on-trend this season, there are some great blue /greysish paints available from F&B , the little green paint company and Mylands

Thank you for your advice! In the end I didn't go with any suggestion!! But, possibly went very predictable and chose to go grey (naturally) a bit like my hair!!!!! I did appreciate and consider everyone's advice and did use a Dulux App to try and see what the room would look like with all your suggestions. (App was not very useful though!)
Anyway, I thought you all might like to see my newly revamped lounge!
Thank you.
