If you have a chimney breast, why not make it the centre of the room. Choose your blend of brick slip and mortar colour to get a texture and colour that can't be rivalled. The traditional brickwork of a chimney breast is a classic look, but using brick slips you can style that look how you want as opposed to having to use the structural bricks that are there already. You can even build a false chimney breast to add character to a room!
