Convert old fireplace into showpiece
Do you want to make a striking change with your home remodeling?
Give your fireplace a new look that will add ambience and eye-appeal to the room.
Your fireplace is just one of the considerations. Think of the items that make the fireplace part of the room.
• A mantel above the fireplace is a great spot to show off favored memorabilia, photos and plants. Maybe you already have a mantel that just needs to be refreshed. Or you have always wanted a new mantel more in style with your taste and the times.
• You may want to install new flooring near the fireplace. You have an almost unlimited selection of materials offering fire-resistant surfaces that won’t warp from the heat.
• The bricks around the fireplace can be painted or even replaced. Would you like marble, granite, stone, shiplap or tile– and would you like this area to go higher or wider than the current surround, as that section is called?
More ideas
• A large-screen television is a popular choice for the area above the fireplace.
• In your design choices you will want to make sure that furniture, paint and other items match the “new” fireplace. Your style choices include classic, contemporary and rustic, just to name three.
• Your choices of fuel are wood, gas and electric. All have pros and cons.
Wood exudes a romantic, woody atmosphere, but it can be dirty and smoky. Gas looks good and puts out great heat, but installing a gas line can be expensive. Electric fireplaces are eco-friendly but their artificial flames are nowhere as charming as the flickers of an old-fashioned wood fireplace.
