A story of the fireplace: set the scene
Create a corner around your fireplace that will be as cozy as it is elegant. To do this, use plush and comfortable furniture. Wing chairs, toad chairs, club chairs, you are spoiled for choice!
Depending on the atmosphere you want to create, select a few matching furniture. Leather sofas will be perfect for a vintage feel, ideal for a fireplace with raw and natural materials such as stone or brick. Patterned fabric and tapered fireplace countertop brackets will create a romantic décor that matches a marble fireplace or graceful moldings.
If you prefer a more contemporary loft style, with a fireplace with straight lines, match it with furniture with clean lines, whose touch of charm will come from the chosen materials, such as velvet or wood.
The extra trick?
A fireplace is perfect for cozy atmospheres where it is good to relax. But if you are looking for more space, you can turn it into an asset too! Place a large mirror above the mantel to add depth to your room. With the height, the lights of your ceiling light and your windows will reflect there to infinity and visually enlarge your interior.
Decoration in the spotlight
In order for the fireplace to remain the central element of your decoration, you will have to choose decorative shelf bracket that will adapt to its style and make it stand out. Like an artist, you can arrange your decoration with care and tell your story.
Start by bringing light to the shelf of your fireplace. Choose a table lamp that will be both a point of light and a strong element of your decoration. With a high enough lamp, you will catch the eye and announce the chosen style. Opt for example for a natural wood base for a touch of bohemian or traditional. Prefer neutral lampshades so as not to overload.
