8 Impressive Fireplace Decorating Ideas for All Seasons

The fireplace could be said to be the heart of the home. Few things are better than the sound of wood burning in the fire, or the warmth it radiates on cold winter days. Even if it is not functional, or it is simply summer and not used, with the right fireplace decoration, corner or not, it will be a reference point for the entire home in every season!

Use a mirror

Decorating above the fireplace is a fairly simple affair, and it usually starts with a mirror . There are many types on the market, so you can easily find a mirror that complements the design of your fireplace and is the perfect size. For a more "relaxed" style, you can not even hang it on the wall, but simply support it on your fireplace.

Hang a painting

Alternatively, instead of a mirror, you can hang a painting . The fireplace always tends to "attract" attention, so it is certain that the painting above it will not go unnoticed. The style of the painting will mainly depend on whether the fireplace is modern or traditional.

Place jars

A collection of vases that are different in material, color, and size will enhance your fireplace and provide much-needed pops of color . You can combine them with fresh flowers, dried flowers, or fake flowers .

Turn it into a relaxation corner

A comfortable armchair and a plant or two (real or artificial ) are all you need to make your fireplace a corner where you'll look forward to relaxing at the end (or beginning) of the day, enjoying a drink or reading your favorite book.

Renew the bricks

If your fireplace is a traditional style, consider painting the bricks beige, cream, or even white. The light color will make the fireplace seem less "closed" and at the same time will bring life to the space.

Place a basket

Moving on to decorating inside the fireplace, a wicker basket in the fireplace area will not only help to visually "warm" the space, but will also create extra storage space for blankets, pillows, or various small items. Another trend that seems to be gaining momentum is decorating the fireplace with candles, especially in the summer when the fireplace is not in use.

Turn it into a library...

By stacking books inside the fireplace, you can create a makeshift bookcase , which will "catch" the eye of every guest and become a topic of conversation. It is mainly recommended as a fireplace decoration if the fireplace is no longer functional, for obvious reasons.

...or in a small garden

Alternatively, instead of books, you can place real or artificial plants in elaborate flowerpots and flower stands . The bright colors of the plants will be a wonderful contrast to the monochromatic colors that fireplaces usually have, enhancing the final result.
