Fireplaces
look damn cozy in rustic and country styled homes. Plus, they are an essential for places that
have chilly winters. If you have a rustic home then here are some ideas to do
up the fireplace so that it gels with the look of the entire house.
Materials
that have a rough texture and uneven consistency should be used for building
the fireplace. Wood, stones, bricks are a good idea. Stones with a jagged cut,
rough hewn wood or barks with knots visible on them are a good pick. If you are
going for bricks then don’t paint them. A bare look with their bright red color
showing through is much better.
The hearth
can be of two types. It can either have fire on the ground level with the
hearth along the floor or it can be raised with a ledge in front of it. The
ones that extend right from the floor to the ceiling with a chimney on top also
look splendid. Then, a ceiling with wooden beams will make the place look utterly
suave.
Some
accessories that you can add in here are woven baskets, chandeliers, tin
buckets, wooden barrels and flower pots. These are easily available at www.countrychicdecor.co.uk.
The finishing touch to this set up can be a hulky chair with a squashy seat and
a footstool placed in the front. Add a lot of throw pillows to make this seat even
more cuddly. If you have a fireplace in the living room then adding a seating
arrangement that has a sofa set and hulky chairs is a must.
You can learn
of many other fireplace arrangements by browsing through the catalog of
