We have a black antique fireplace, that we love with a black and gold mirror over it against red walls. The red paint was sort of textured, giving a slight sandy feeling. The floor is wood, maple, with a dark brown leather couch and furniture, and light cream curtains. It's long overdue for a repaint. We were going for an old world atmosphere in keeping with fireplace, but it's not very cheerful! We would welcome suggestions for wall colour :D

I would choose very light warm colors such as a light butterscotch or vanilla cream. Something that might help you is playing around with a color scheme generator. They are simple and usually free to use for the most part. But the idea is you pick a couple main colors that you are using and it will generate 4 or 5 others to go with it in a matching or contrasting scheme. If you do not like what is first generated, simply remove the ones you dont care for and it will come back with new choices. Seeing how certain colors actually blend when along side others gives you a whole different outlook about what you think goes with what. Some colors I would of never thought to put together go together beautifully, I would of just never of occurred to me. I will list a link to one below, but you can do a google search for a color scheme generator to find one that specifically works for you. The link for a fairly simple one I use is coolors.co/
