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.

It looks like there are windows on the two walls adjacent to the fireplace, so I'll take your word for it that the TV can't go anywhere else. You make a focal wall by putting on it things you want to look at. I would clear the mantel, install built ins, get a lighter and bolder graphic rug, and pull the seating in closer. Before I did any of that, though, I'd see about improving the light. More lighting, or maybe just warmer color temperature bulbs.

Your drapes look like they're fine. It's hard to see if they're long enough--do they just touch the floor? That would be the right length. Make sure the paint you pick blends with the color of the drapes and the two chairs. The Edgecomb Gray looks like it would work or you could go with an entirely different color and add pictures and rug to pull it all together. Love the color Sea Salt by SW.

Hi Geeta, Victorian theme is all about grandeur and elegance. Here are a few key design elements that would help you achieve the perfect look - 1] Pastel Walls and/or damask wallpapers are characteristic. 2] Wall Panelings for a two tone wall (as in the above picture) or as a pattern on the wall add character. 3] Large sized mirrors on walls work wonders. 4] Upholstery in rich fabrics and pastel colours also contribute immensely. You can also go for red or violet fabrics for a chair or two to add drama. And yeah, lost of cushions! 5] Mixed bag of furniture/ non modular furniture with white and golden polish for arms and legs. Polished teak also works well. 6] Decor items like figurines, vases, bracket lights and crystal chandeliers collected from second hand or antique shops. These days even well known home decor brands keep antique items. 7] Floor length american pleat curtains frame the openings and add layers to the walls. 8] Wooden flooring topped with carpets give the space a cozy feel. Tip: If you have space and a budget, do add a fireplace with a mantel. It will add an old world charm to the space. Hope these ideas inspire you. All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur
