8 Great Ways to Make Your Fireplace a Focal Point

If you’re lucky enough to have an open fireplace in your home, make the most of it and ensure it gets the attention it deserves.  Follow our tips to creative fireplace design and décor and make it the focal point in any room…

#1 Feature wall!

Whether you have a chimney breast wall with alcoves either side, or your fire is simply mounted on a flat wall – draw attention straight to that side of the room with an exciting statement of colour or unusual wall paper.

#2 Lift your fireplace!

You will instantly notice anything that is at eye-level in a room, so consider a more modern, floating fireplace that can be installed at a height to make it more visually engaging.

#3 Exciting mantel

Adorn your mantel and hearth with interesting objects, photographs and ornaments, or perhaps try choosing a unique period fireplace that draws attention, or for a more low cost solution – simply paint your mantel an attractive and striking colour!

#4 Art Display

Use your fireplace to display a complementing piece of artwork. Whether you mount it above, or stand it on the mantel, you won’t be able to miss a big, bold piece of artwork and people will be drawn towards your fireplace.

#5 Point your furniture at it!

In our modern age, many people direct their sofas around a TV for easy entertainment – but consider instead arranging your sofas around a cosy, welcoming fireplace and see your guests get comfy in front of your fire.

#6 Simplicity

You don’t always have to go all out to make your fireplace the focal point, sometimes less really is more. Find a simple but striking fire surround that stands out from the rest of the room.

#7 Mirror image

Mount a large, decorative mirror above the fire. Not only will it make your room look bigger and brighter by reflecting more light and space, it will also create a traditional and appealing focal point with very little effort.

#8 Extend your fireplace

If you’re looking for something a little more unique, try elongating the fireplace across an entire wall or opening up the length of the chimney breast to create a visually striking and unusual focal point.bigger and brighter by reflecting more light and space, it will also create a traditional and appealing focal point with very little effort.
