Your living room should have a strong focal point that captures attention and sets the mood. Now, imagine your fireplace as the star of your living room. If that sounds like a great idea, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park is here to share ways you can turn your fireplace into the crown jewel of your living space and how a general contracting company can help.
Refresh With Paint
Repainting your fireplace is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to give your living room a makeover. The right paint color can open up your space and make it look much larger than it is. Choose a neutral shade of white or pale gray for a subtle yet stylish look. For an eye-catching design, use a color wheel to choose a combination of complementary shades.
Add Luxury With Marble
For a classic yet luxurious look, you can’t go wrong with a marble fireplace. It will add a touch of grandeur to your living room and radiate timeless elegance. Whether you opt for colorful Arabescato marble or creamy Carrara, a marble fireplace exudes sophistication and beauty.
Go for an Antique Look
Antique-styled fireplaces never go out of style. You can create an evocative and romantic focal point by salvaging and repurposing old materials. Pair these with modern decor to balance old-world charm and contemporary elegance.
Tiled Design
Tiles are another versatile option for fireplace designs. They come in diverse colors, patterns and finishes to suit every style. A well-chosen tile design can turn your fireplace into a captivating art piece in your living room.
Mantel Makeover
Don’t be afraid to play around with your mantelpiece and show off your taste. Create a stunning display with cherished family photos, prized antiques or beautiful artwork.
Lighting and Accessories
Consider accent lights that illuminate the fireplace even when it’s not in use. A well-lit fireplace can be a cozy, inviting sight, particularly at night.
Consider a Fireplace Insert or Upgrade
If you feel your fireplace needs more than a splash of paint or new decor, consider getting a fireplace insert during your home remodel. This modern upgrade improves the efficiency of your fireplace. It also gives the fireplace a sleek, updated look.
