I just bought a 1980s small cabin and could use some advice on the living room color scheme. There is faux wood paneling on the walls that I am contemplating painting sage green. The sofa is hopefully soon going to be in a shade of brown. There is carpeting that is a mixture of brown and cream. The dilemma is the corner fireplace that is covered in white with some grey faux brick called Zbrick. Right now it clashes with the paneling and I would like to paint the Zbrick. Any ideas on color for fireplace would be appreciated. And if anyone has other ideas for paint color on paneling other than sage green I am open to suggestions. Thank you!

Google "how to paint zbrick" and you'll find very clear instructions. As for color, you have to decide if you want the fireplace to be the focal point or not. How much strong artwork, doorways and Windows it would compete with. The "how to" site gives you tips on making it look like tile. I love artwork and strong western patterns, so I'd probably paint it the same color as my walls, but paint or finish the mantle in a wood-type look. Or a fun color. One strong horizontal line can give the impression of width and not distract from whatever patterns or art you choose to use.
