5 Tips for Enhancing the Appeal of Your Fireplace
There is hardly a more picturesque winter evening than one curled up fireside. Except, perhaps, one curled up next to a particularly chic fireplace. That being said, it may be time to assess the current state of your fireplace. Could it benefit from a few cosmetic upgrades? If you’re nodding yes in response, check out the five following ways to give your fireplace an entirely new attitude. When set aglow, the fireplace naturally becomes the focal point, but with a few changes, your stylish fireplace could be the center of attention 24/7.
Paint the mantel. A splash of paint on almost anything will result in an instant upgrade, and the fireplace mantel is no different. Help it to stand on its own against your furnishings by choosing a color that is complementary to your decor. Want your mantel to be even more eye catching? Choose a paint in a high-gloss finish for a sophisticated sheen.
Accessorize it. Just like jewelry makes an outfit, accessories will make your fireplace. Detail it with eclectic pieces across the mantel and seek out a unique fireplace screen to complete the look. A lamp on the mantel will further spotlight your fireplace.
