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.
