Transforming your living room into a warm, inviting space begins with an eye-catching fireplace. As the heart of your room, a well-designed fireplace can take your space from ordinary to extraordinary. Trusted interior remodeling contractor DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington shares tips on how you can make your fireplace shine.
Subtle and Sublime
A subtle yet remarkable transformation can have a great impact. You can make your fireplace stand out with stunning artwork, a unique mantle, or even a fresh coat of paint. Make sure that your chosen accent pieces match the existing style of your room. You can also try combining different materials and textures to create an interesting and unique effect.
Balance and Symmetry
Symmetry can elevate your fireplace to a stunning focal point in your living room. Well-arranged furniture or décor can create a harmonious look that naturally draws the eye toward the fireplace. Doing this will create an inviting atmosphere that is pleasing to the eye and ties everything in your living space together. Symmetry also utilizes negative space to its full potential, bringing visually interesting balance to your room.
Color and Contrast
Color plays an integral role in enhancing your fireplace. A contrasting color scheme can lend boldness and spirit to your space. By combining vivid colors with muted tones, you can make your fireplace the centerpiece of your living room. Consider creating a contrasting backdrop behind your fireplace, like painting the wall a different shade from the rest of the room or adding a wallpaper accent.
Stunning Stone Accents
Stone accents create a warm, inviting atmosphere in many interior home remodel designs. Adding these into your fireplace creates a luxurious and timeless look. Different types of stone can be used; for instance, light-colored beige stones exude a classic appearance, while white stones helps establish a bright and airy atmosphere.
Highlighting the Fireplace Through Lighting
Elevate your fireplace with well-placed lighting. Recessed lighting aimed at the hearth or wall-mounted sconces on either side of your fireplace can make a huge difference. You can also use accent lighting to create a warm, inviting atmosphere in the room.
Incorporating Artwork and Accessory
Adding artwork and decorative accessories to your fireplace not only enhances the cozy atmosphere of the entire room but also sets the tone for the space. These pieces should reflect your style and create a harmonious balance.
