If you’ve got a fireplace in your living room or bedroom, a great way to freshen up your space is to apply a new colour. This will instantly change the style of your room as the fireplace is a lovely focal point. Once you’ve decided on the colour, you can then play around with new decor ideas on and around your fireplace for a minimal and low-cost spend. If you’ve got a dark fireplace matched with dark walls, apply white paint to your fireplace to instantly brighten up the space. Alternatively, if you’ve got white walls and white fireplace, paint it black to make the space pop.
