Fireplaces can be great design elements and can make any space in your home feel more cozy and luxurious. Below are several reasons why a fireplace may be the perfect addition to your home. They can save you money on energy bills, become statement pieces in a space, and increase your home's value.
The most popular place to install a fireplace is in the living room or the family room. But, one could be added to any room to create a warm and inviting atmosphere; added to the bedroom, dining room, or even the bathroom. If you're thinking about adding a fireplace to a room in your house, there are a number of styles you could choose. Here are 25 ways you could style a fireplace to suit any room of your home.
1. Surrounding shelves
Adding built-in shelves around a fireplace can give you more opportunities to add decorative elements to a space. This design is typically used in living rooms and bedrooms.
