Need help for this big brick fireplace wall
How should I modernize this fireplace wall? I was thinking to cover it with stacked stone or to drywall over it to make it a more traditional fireplace? There is a one foot deep brick hearth going the whole length of the room as well. HELP please!

Need help choosing the kitchen wall color with the cabinet
Comments (2)The color of walls of your kitchen completely depends on the color of your cabinet, but you can opt for white color as that color is plain simple and goes with any color cabinet. But in kitchen while making food there are many things like smoke, grease or staging of oil or masala can make the color of wall look dull and bad and it gets more dull after every cleaning, whereas by applying wallpapers, your kitchen will look much more younger than paint and wallpapers can also survive almost 10 years if maintained properly. A few wallpaper Ideas that i can suggest for your kitchen are:- Modern wallpaper - Modern wallpaper designs are not constrained by any particular patterns or fashions. A wallpaper pattern featuring exotic fruit or animals is just as likely to have a quirky lobster theme as it is. Other possibilities include 3D geometry, abstract florals, and odd ornamentation. The wallpaper will have more effect with modern furniture. Retro and vintage- When the kitchen walls are decorated with antique and retro patterns, a certain whimsy and nostalgia are added to the space, creating a really particular feeling. Flower Power themes, arty or modern designs from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, and large geometric patterns are characteristic for this. Brick and stone patterns- Materials used in country/historical kitchens over the years that are indestructible but also incredibly cosy haven't lost any of their attractiveness and function flawlessly in 21st-century kitchens. Stone appearance wallpaper styles, such as brick, sandstone, clinker, or even concrete, emanate a feeling of solidity and sturdiness while yet having the potential to seem completely modern when paired with the appropriate furnishings. Marble- Superior marble is the epitome of subtle elegance. The best option to realise gorgeous and glitzy kitchen decor ideas is with deceptively genuine, costly imitation marble wallpaper models. Marvelous effects are produced for walls by contemporary, inventive marble forms and colours. Tile Design- Numerous kitchen design ideas are derived from instances in nearby and distant other nations. These are only a few instances of the vast possibility offered by tile imitation wallpaper. Other possibilities include artistic Spanish Majolica-style tiles, oriental decoration tiles, Delft tiles from Holland, and Roman frescoes....See MoreNeed help with the center table and the wall treatment.
Comments (21)Perhaps a large round table might mean a rug is not at all necessary. It could be a metal tray table, or carved wood like Rebecca Mitchell Interiors illustrates. Ideas also to consider, using multiple tables can be found at http://www.houzz.com/multiple-coffee-tables. I also agree with comments above that some color is needed on the walls. You could then hang round mirrors, or an unusual curved shape like RMI shows above....See MoreHelp me design my kitchen...instead of proper kitchen it's one big roo

8 years agoBe absolutely sure before you paint the brick as there is no turning back. I could see an off-white color on it. Add a much deeper, beefier mantle. Add the cushions as suggested by spraguec. I would go with grommet top or clip top drapes to hang as high as you can & take them down to the floor.

8 years agoI agree with Sandra, painting the fireplace a solid color is a bit, scary and if you dont get the color just right it will look awful and outdated. I would suggest a white wash instead.
Heres an example.

Here is more of the room--pulled out the carpet. This chevron patterned hardwood was underneath. Leave it or put in brazilian walnut flooring? All the furniture is going too!

8 years agoI'm personally not a fan of most parquet but I understand just how valuable it is and that you should keep it if you can.
If you want to do a surround and not just a mantle, Wayfair carries some reasonably priced. If you can afford to have a surround custom built, even better. I think a surround would be a better option for this with the TV above as the TV and fireplace are both dark but the TV is larger so it looks a bit top heavy. Build/Buy a surround that beefs up the fireplace to balance the two.If you want to you could even extend the build to include the TV.
Another option would be to sheetrock over the entire brick area. This would be a good idea if you were wanting a more modern, streamlined look.
