Creative Ideas and Tips for Your Fireplace Area


Fireplaces add beauty in your home. Dress it up with accessories and inspiring wall decorations. Fireplace inserts need to be adorned with some interior touch because of that fact that it's located in the living room. This is the place wherein you would accept visitors during house parties and other special occasions.

The presence of your fireplace is acknowledged by the furniture. You should arrange the furniture into a U shape which is the easiest design to do. Position it in a way that the fireplace is at the top. Place a small table in between the cozy fireplace and couch for board games and book reading. Placing a flat screen television over the fireplace mantel would also be great.

Wall decoration and arrangement is pleasing to the eyes. If you lack the ideas on how to decorate the fireplace area, you can place a large framed work, photos, or painting which is centered at the mantel. You can also hang a decorative mirror to the wall which compliments the motif of the fireplace. Then, you can line the fireplace mantel shelf with framed white and black photos of various sizes. However, you need to take note of the unifying factor of a single color frame, which also matches your Dimplex insert if you have one.

Now that the other interior designing for the fireplace has been taken care off, it's time to decorate the fireplace mantel. You can set different motifs such as candle sticks, vases, flowers, silk topiary, or sculptures. You can also place decorative and antique plates, bottles, and figurines. Just place those small ones to avoid unnecessary accidents.

Don't forget to include fireplace tools for the maintenance. Without the right fireplace tool sets, you may find it difficult to maintain its beauty especially if you have the traditional wood and gas fireplace.
