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.

Leather sofas can really dominate the room and can give an overall cold feeling. I would add some earthy elements, like a wood coffee table with glass or metal. Go to Restoration Hardware's website and look at their sofa room scenes. And I'm sorry I think the art is too harsh for the room. That's all your eye goes to in the room. too overpowering. I would look for something softer or maybe a cool mirror and I would add color to the room with pillows and some colorful lamps. I also think woven blinds would look great. They add warmth and give a finished look. The color of your window treatments should contrast your wall color a bit, not match it or else it starts to look generic and blah.. You have warm walls, warm floors and the woven blinds, like Hunter Douglas brand would pull it all together for you.

hi puneet , I would really suggest to get rid of these tiles (because nobody have tiles In their living room) and then plz get the wall fixed ,u can use dr.fixit or any brand u want and after that please remove that clock it looks very plastic(plastic sucks) and then please for god sake remove that curtain rod and get a new one a brass one plz and not a aluminum one please please and fr your sofa the sofa is actually pretty nice, u just have to change the coverings get something more plain and simple and go for a solid colour like violent and please change those curtains and get a solid on too like a off-white one (off-white goes well with violet) or even a cream colour but not too creamy ,then the center table I can't see plz post the photo separately and please get more lighting it's just too dim at least a 9w led and change those holders they are truly ancient and ur room's colour is good (the front wall) please change the colour of other walls to cream (again not too cream ) u can find the perfect cream colour on a asian paint store please put a big picture or a poster with wooden base (on wood ,I repeat on wood) and yeah please change the bedsheet man it's just odd remember the simpler the best and clean and also get a runner for the bedroom it's really important . thankyou

What a beautiful house, Shahbaaz! I live in a similar house - a 150-year-old colonial bungalow in Kumaon. You have already received lots of excellent advice from better-qualified people, so all I would say is, keep its age and heritage character the central theme. The white tiles do clash, I am afraid ... flooring with terracotta tiles would echo the roof and look lovely. The columns and the arches over the doors and windows are amazing. But I'd say, leave it all chuna-painted - there's a beauty and softness to it. Don't let the painters add too much neel (indigo) in the limewash -- in the hills where I live, they put far too much if I don't watch out and the result is a harsh white. Natural lime has a softer, creamy look.
