How to Decorate Your Fireplace
-
Start with paint
Choose a paint color that is most suited to your room’s decor. Two colors will add depth to your fireplace decor. -
Display a basket of pine cones
Choose a beautiful and decorative basket. Fill it with pine cones or pretty wooden pieces. Place it on the floor near the fireplace. -
Add a bowl of nuts
Display a decorative wooden bowl, an iconic nutcracker, and a few nuts that are still in their shells. -
Create comfortable seating
Add an armchair or a rocking chair, and a soft rug. A firescreen will keep the sparks from damaging the rug and the furniture. -
Place logs near the fire
Add logs for a beautiful visual effect. Having logs handy is also practical.
