Uttermost Accessories Egan, Screen 20508
Have you ever looked at a fireplace and considered it to be a huge design opportunity? Not a lot of homeowners consider fireplaces to be more than a mere firebox. Most outdated fireplaces remain blackened and are surrounded with ashen tools. If you are looking for a way to return your home’s fireplace into its glorious days, then you need to cook up something to make it the focal point that it should be. There are a lot of options from cutting edge to traditional.
Uttermost Accessories Daymeion, Tools, S.5 20338 is a decorative set of tools for the fireplace. Each is hand-forged metal with distressed cocoa brown color and a light tan glaze.
Think Out of the Box
You have to find a way to look beyond straight lines and the box in front of you. Have the open fire pit design so that the chimney will double as an industrial sculpture right in your home.
You can also have the fireplace backlit by onyx if you have a contemporary living room setup. Adding an accent wall will make the fireplace literally pop. It will become a vibrant mosaic that will emphasize the beauty that is your fireplace.
If you have a more minimalist taste, you can simply add texture by installing colorful tiles that match the color of the walls. This is a great avant-garde move to unleash your more artistic side.
Transform your fireplace by having it surrounded with equally beautiful elements. There are decorative rocks and driftwood that you can combine to come up with a natural motif.
Do you want this project to be more personal for you? Then go to the nearest river to pick out shiny pebbles, stones and round rocks. You can then have those turned into a craft project. If not, a craftsman can also assemble them for you.
You can also set up shelves atop the fireplace. These can house your most beautiful book collections. Imagine having those rare books seated atop the beautiful fireplace complete with lovely surround. And what if the fireplace surround is even honed Brazilian slate? What a sight it would be!
You can now give the walls surrounding the fireplace a renewed purpose. They can now be great storage areas for collectibles and other decorative items.
A unique fireplace does not have to be bright or supersized in order to make a huge impact. Even a traditional but well-kept fireplace will still stand out depending on the design.
Don’t you just get tired of seeing the usual bricks as the expected surround? Replace them with fieldstone in order to add a surprising texture, color tone and variety.
You can also play with the usual fireplace elements. Ceramic tiles may be common as they can resemble brick but when they are vertically oriented, then what you achieve is the unexpected.
Always pay attention to what’s inside the firebox. Less can be more. A white surround can effortlessly draw the eyes into the firebox more so when there are one-of-a-kind firestones in there.
Now veer your attention towards your living room fireplace. You can make that uninteresting sight a tad more exciting if you include panelled walls and marble surround. This should provide a classic tone in your home.
Always keep the look of your fireplace a fresh one. Add graphic fabrics such as zebra print if you want the area to stand out. Adding a two-sided insert means you can enjoy the fireplace in both the family room and the living room.
The simplest changes can transform even the dullest, unused, un-maintained, outdated fireplace. Sometimes, all that the fireplace needs is a fresh coat of white paint and tile hearth. You can also revolve your art collections and antiques. If white paint doesn’t work, then go for black. What matters is that it will reflect your personality as it will become a tangible showcase of the individual that you are.
