When decorating with a fireplace it is vital to think about the whole room. Take into account your current furnishing and décor and try to work with the current décor theme. There are numerous styles of fireplaces available. Choose from a wood burning or gas fireplace, or if you’d prefer something a bit more energy efficient take a look at a coal burning or pellet burning stove.
Decorating your fireplace and the surrounding space is just as imperative as choosing what type of fireplace to put in. Think about black out curtains, as these will preserve the ambiance of the fire without the interference of sunlight. Consider the mantle, surrounding walls and floors – ensure they all fit in with the mood of the room and add to the comfort.
