Painting your kitchen walls is one of the quickest, and easiest ways to re-do a kitchen. Before you rush out and buy gallons of paint, think carefully about what your dream kitchen looks like. Experts agree that it's not just the color on the walls that determine how a kitchen looks and feels. How the wall paint color relates to the cabinetry, countertops, tiles, molding, appliances, lighting and flooring is very important. Before you buy paint, test sample swatches on your walls and observe how the colors look at various times during the day and evening. second option you can put a colourful candles check some candles designs at https://www.whiteparisluxury.co.uk/scented-candles.html.

Idea for fireplace and alcoves

I like idea 1 with white shelving and walls, and red paint inside the alcoves - we had something similar in our old house and it worked really well (although we actually had blue tiles inside the fireplace). If it's north facing I would go for a warmer white (not cream) which will help bounce light around, and the red alcoves and fire surround will make it cosy in the winter. For my taste the all over red is too dark - might be nice in winter but not for the summer. The grey painted one does look nice in the picture but I avoid grey on principle ;-) I like the fabric but since the tiles are in situ I would be coordinating paint with tiles and fabric with paint in that order! I think fabric with a rich blue might look really nice too.

Agreed with Enova, a bespoke one door contemporary cabinet would look great and keep all of the wires and boxes hidden away and you can still have control with the sky box with sensors etc. If you have the door touch release (without handles and have a low sheen finish, it would almost blend in with the wall.

I like Carolina's idea to put TV in the existing alcove. You could also get a tradesman to make the other side of the fireplace look similar and add shelves there (and mirror or artwork above fireplace). I don't think it matters if one alcove is wider than the other. We have that in our sitting room and it looks fine. The finish on the 'new' alcove will look good if it is plastered and painted (to match other side). Or you could ask builder to use mdf/similar to fill out the top and then wallpaper the chimney breast and the the bits above the two alcoves to match. Not sure - just an idea.
