Paint traditional pieces in non-traditional colors.
"Fire screens are generally brown, black or brass. Why not paint one a more vivid hue? A huge amount of fireplaces are never used and look great in a bold color. For a modern look, use a high-gloss paint in a fun hue like turquoise, and be sure to give it at least two coats; for a more classic look with a twist, use red or kelly green. For a working fireplace, make sure to use heat-resistant paint."
