Since this room has a heavily beamed ceiling and a smaller window I think it needs a lighter shade than the DH slate. Farrow and Ball have All White and Old white these have a green quality and look good with the wood and the floor. Both colours can be colour matched if you can't source F&B near you. Personally I would remove the top doors to the cabinets so that you are left with just the base doors and some shelves above. This will help see the beams and also help the room seem taller. If you can get it past the OH I would paint the beams or have them sand blasted and then paint the cupboards too. I would use the lighter colour on the ceiling between the beams and behind the shelves in the alcoves. I would probably paint the radiator and skirtings in the wall colour to make the room seem taller. Since it is probably not an original fire surround I would probably paint this in the ceiling colour- you could also paint the inside of the chimney recess in the DH slate. This is another room that needs a rug and a mirror- a round mirror above the fireplace would look fab- alternatively a floor standing mirror opposite the fireplace would be good as all the features are currently on one side of the room and this mirror would reflect them. Furniture wise a long cabinet or settle on the wall opposite the door will help the room seem wider.

Thanks Patrina, I was trying to steer away from grey as my last house had so much of it. Love the dusky pink but maybe as an accent colour rather than the walls? Don't want to overpower my other half ;)

A complementary colour is the right way to go but it needs to be desaturated. The more 'blue' or 'green' a colour is, the more orange or red your brick will look, they accentuate each other. I would go for a grey that has a tinge of something such as French Grey or Light Grey.
