Living room help- inglenook fireplace

[Misblonde]

I have a north facing living room with a feature brick inglenook fireplace (needs to stay), walls painted in Dimity. Can anyone suggest style or colours for new furniture /accessories. I feel it should be a farmhouse style but that's at odds with neutral Swedish rest of house. Def needs some colour . Thank u

Red and cream? If it’s north facing and because the tone of the brick is warm I’d go for warmer undertones in whatever colour you decide. A modern cream leather chesterfield would look lovely in there and lighten up the room although it’s a pricey option. The use of mirrors may help too to increase the light

I'd swap the 2 seater for an arm chair. Rug. Cushions. Art on the wall. Bookshelves. You need a big plant or two as well. I have an inglenook and we have a large dried flower garland over the top of it. It's a lovely room, just needs some tlc!

I'd stick with scandi. Think wood, plants, textures and tones rather than colour.

This sofa is the red of your fireplace, love how they have styled it.

This room is gorgeous.

These colours might work.

The fireplace looks enormous for the size/height of room. Might it be possible to paint it to make it seem less overwhelming.

Thanks all for your suggestions, I am leaning towards neutral tones with red/terracotta accents.

I'd have the fireplace plastered and paint it in a neutral colour, the same colour as the room is going to be painted. I'd lime the wooden top too.

Soft blues go nicely with red brick. If you like a Scandi/Country theme. A blue-grey for the walls. An armchair and a sofa, don't choose the same style and colour. Maybe a soft blue, or white/blue striped sofa and pink/red/terracotta chair. A rug with blue and red hues to pull it together.
