ideas for part-rendering chimney breast
Comments (12)slightly mellowing the rest of the room would possibly help? It is a "feature" but is there anything to stop you removing some of the stone to give it a more cone shape top? Or even create alcoves with attractive kitchenware in them . It reminds me of the old Lime Kilns we have on the Moors...See MoreDesign ideas for this chimney breast space

Comments (8)Hi Tom, congratulations to your new home! You can put some glass or wooden shelves in the alcove (for the plates, glasses etc.) with hidden LED strip lights or turn it into a display cabinet if you are a collector. Another idea is to put a minibar in it; or if you like drinking coffee after lunch and dinner you can create a small coffee bar there. Above the alcove hang an artwork on the wall or use other paint colour to make it a feature wall....See MoreChimney breast design help
Comments (3)I'm afraid I am always wary of fixing the tv above a fireplace & heating source. My concerns are a/ the height it puts the tv at - is really a comfortable viewing angle?? I see currently you have the tv lower on the chest/drawers. mock up the tv on some card an hang it where you were thinking of mounting the tv and look at it for a while to see if it really is the best location. There are some mounting systems that might allow you to mount the tv flat in the alcove and bring it forward when in use. b/ heat rising from the heater and damaging/overheating the tv. We often don't realise how much heat makes it's way directly above. If you decide to position the tv in the alcove, then a darker color in the alcove would reduce reflection....See More

4 years agoLovely neutral room so a different wall colour would look good. I don’t know what shades you love (or hate!) so I’ll just suggest some shades that I think would look good. Sage green, or any green, would look good with your sofas and floor. I also think warm caramel shades would also look good. Blue looks good with cream, although some shades can be cold in north facing rooms. Is your room sunny? Navy is lovely too, but not for everyone. Here’s some pics:

4 years agoSouth facing is great, just like my kitchen. Going back to green, how about a sage grey-green such as Farrow & Ball’s Pigeon, or Dulux Overtly Olive? In your sunny room the green will be more muted. Of course you could paint it grey which can look very smart with the cream sofas. Dulux Chic Shadow is a lovely true grey. A rug is a great way to cosy up a room.
