What to do with our chimney breast?
We've almost finished decorating our dining room. The walls are Stone Blue and the ceiling Dimpse - both Farrow & Ball. We're leaving the coving white as a contrast between the two.
But we've so far left the chinmey breast as we're not sure what to do with it. We can't decide whether to paint it all blue, all grey, or blue on the main but with grey inside the fireplace. We're anti the all-blue idea as we think the fire will be lost against a blue background.
Any opinions?

You can find the log mural here
Do let us know if we can help anyway :)

You room looks great, you can add some candles to the side of the wood burner, lots of different sizes. Add an unusual focal point with pictures or a large mirror. At the side of the fire place use some small tables with a lamp or floor lights at add light back to the dark corner. I think the colour of the fire place is lovely and really sets it apart.

I painted the fireplace grey and the same colour as your walls, to show you...
My reasoning for painting it the same as your walls is that you will probably have the door in white or possibly another colour, which makes it quite a stand out feature. That's one. And then you will add furniture to the room too, maybe a rug, curtains... so you'll be adding a lot of different colours anyway. So I'd keep the rest fairly calm. And I really don't think that the blue fireplace makes it less of a feature. But there we are. It's up to you :-)
