Fireplace Surround
Hi. I have a Pine fireplace surround (with black insert) and HATE the pine. I want to paint it but am a bit scared it will look rubbish! I am not particularly inventive with colours and tend to be very safe. I was thinking a deep green or a grey brown like Farrow and Ball Elephant's Breath. I didn't just want to do it cream or stone really but you might say different. It is surrounded by William Morris Honeysuckle Wallpaper which I have included a pic of. I would be so grateful for some advice. Thank you so much Jo

Painting fireplace surround
Comments (2)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!...See MoreAdvice Removed 1930 tiled fireplace surround and fireback

Comments (1)You can use eggshell or Satinwood, they are both paint types suitable for wood. I painted a couple of bookcases in eggshell water based, but I think oil based is more hardwearing, if rather smelly! Make sure you also user a couple of coats of primer first. Make sure each coat is allowed to dry fully before applying the next. Good luck....See More

Sorry, I couldn’t paint it properly as you have to press the screen 100’s of times if it’s not a wall! Anyway I like either of the colours of the leaves but prefer the darker (these were as close as I could get for colours!). If you have any leftover wallpaper you could always colour match
