A fireplace adds beauty to a home, in addition to adding emotional warmth, and yes, physical heat! With a little carefully planned TLC, your hearth can become the centerpiece of your home, no matter what the style of your house, from traditional to modern, and formal to casual.
Many elements create beauty in this area of your home, from the style and material of the fireplace and chimney, to the design of the mantel and hearth, and even the décor and furniture near your fireplace.
Las Sendas resident Linda Palm is pleased to announce the opening of her new Mesa store, Window to Design. Linda has more than 35 years of interior design expertise, specializing in custom window treatments, including drapery, upholstery and fabric.
Linda provides suggestions to consider for your fireplace environment:
- Choose from a variety of materials — stone, tile, cement, brick, paint and more.
- For relaxing and warming up, place big comfortable chairs or low ottomans near the fireplace, or place giant floor pillows nearby.
- For a unique look, purchase an antique wood or stone carved mantel and surround.
- As an option, don’t have a mantle at all! A fireplace can look beautiful with the brick, wood or stone extending to the ceiling.
- Hang a beautiful piece of art or a mirror over the fireplace — or position your flat screen TV here! Your TV can even be installed behind a remote-controlled piece of artwork.
- For both function and beauty, add a unique fireplace screen and fireplace tools.
- Highlight your fireplace in the summer months too, by adorning the inside or edges of your fireplace with live or artificial plants, or a beautiful arrangement of candles.
