Hi! So I'm not much help with paint color, but wanted to share two things that we did which you might consider: first, we got a high-heat black spraypaint (Rustoleum from Home Depot) and painted the fireplace face plate (the brass part) black, which instantly updated our fireplaces for about $10; second, I did not care for our red brick fireplace, and hand-painted it to look like a different color of brick. Without priming, I hand painted each brick Benjamin Moore Eagle Rock, then sponged on a lighter grey (Willow Creek) and a darker grey (Ironhorse, I think). Later, I decided it needed some brown, so I sponged on a bit of watered down brown paint (can't remember the color). I took care not to get paint on the mortar. The whole project took about a day. It came out great and I get tons of complements. If you are at all hesitant about getting the "painted brick" look when you do it all in one color, I would consider tying this method first. 99% of people would not know that the brick had been painted. If you don't like the way it turns out, you can always go back to your original plan!

Personally I wouldn't paint the door and window but if you don't like it I'd paint it a soft white. I'd go for a pale but warm grey on the wall with full length curtains to match and add your favourite colour/s in accessories. If you're not keen on pale grey I'd go for an off white with a yellow undertone (farrow and ball do some great colours which would work) IF you can get an upholstered bed I would but if not add cushions and a throw. I'd also add a rug under the bed for softness. Do you have a ceiling light? A mirror and some great art would complete it. I wouldn't add a curtain to the wardrobes, I don't think it needs it

Hi Cynthia, thanks for your comment. I still haven't decided about lighting. First, I'm trying to get as much natural light as possible. If there are still some dark corners left, then I'm planing to use light on those areas.

Hi there! You can use beige tones- they go really well with brown if you add a hint of blue accent on. Also grey walls go well too (depends on the type of sofa you have- would be great if you can share pictures of your furniture here)!
