Bring Warmth To Your Home Design With A Fireplace

You have forever ignored the fireplace in your bedroom, seeing it as an eyesore and using the hearth to pile things that you feel sort of hide it from your sight. However, this fall, you may find that your bedroom is a bit chilly and decide you want to make use of the fireplace. First, though, it would make sense to take the “ugly” out of it and make it blend in with your bedroom in an attractive way, bringing warmth to you not only through heat of flames but also with design.

You can make your fireplace match other pieces in your bedroom. Your bedroom dressers are prominent pieces that also set against walls and bring out a certain design or color in their appearance. While it may be difficult to change the design of the fireplace, you can change out the mantle above it to repeat the style and color found in the dressers so that everything matches. In fact, in terms of color, you can always paint the fireplace!

Another piece of furniture in your bedroom that you can match is your headboard. A contemporary headboard with an old-fashioned fireplace clash, and you can easily redecorate your fireplace to make it blend in with your contemporary furnishings, especially your headboard. For example, if you have modern wrought iron design on the headboard, think about having a screen made of wrought iron or a piece of art décor hanging over it of wrought iron.

Of course, if you have a four poster canopy bed, you’ll want to do everything you can to make your fireplace look classical and whimsical, blending in with your fanciful bedroom décor. You can find any number of paintings that can be hung over a large, heavy, oversized mantle to bring out the personality of your bedroom. Even if you don’t have a canopy and would like a four poster bed, you can find something that would pervade this style in Kathy Ireland beds, such as the Sorrento Poster bed. When you get ready for fall this year, don’t discount your fireplace as an excellent source of décor for your bedroom.
