I would paint the entire fireplace including the mantel, all trim and shelving white. I like the Whisper White, but you must bring the paint samples into the room to see for yourself. The sheen on all woodwork should be semi-gloss, easy cleaning and looks crisp. I agree with painting the walls and I would paint the part above the mantel the same color as the walls, Summer Hue is beautiful, but once again I have no idea how that would look in your room. The walls should be flat most brands make a fairly easy to clean flat. If the fireplace were the focal point of the room, it could look very cool and dramatic to paint it a very dark gray almost black. But at least in this picture it seems that the entertainment/shelving unit is the focal point. hmm .... better stop while I am ahead.

do you want help with color for wall paint?

Hi Maam, By kind, do you mean the types of laminate example gloss, matte, textured ETC or do you want a suggestion for the design finishes or color patterns? Lemme know as I need to get the facts clear before i suggest anything as there are other options besides the laminates as well : ) - Layden Wangmo [senior interior designer] MAD DESIGN
