Don't have a fireplace? No problem. Each of these were created by simply building a mantle and surround to give the illusion of a real fireplace. Paint the inside your favorite color or spice it up with bold wallpaper.
Look closely and you'll see, that's not a burning fire inside the fireplace - it's a TV! In a small space, this could be a great solution.
I adore the framed art collage surrounding the mantle. The vertical mirror adds height and a bit of drama to the whole effect.
What a fun an interesting shape. Love the mixture of different textures.
Other uses for your fireplace (maybe if it's non-working) - us as storage, as shown here with a large trunk; or as a display for vases filled with white stones, candles, etc.PHOTO CREDITS: DOMINO MAGAZINE
You have a wonderful blog!! So glad I found it:) I am totally loving those fireplace uses. Wish I had one!!
ReplyDeletei've been obsessed with this idea after seeing multiple examples in domino, but have never had the resources to pull it off. have you come across any sites that give a proper description of how to make it work? i'd be eternally grateful!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to cuddle up with a book next to any of these!
ReplyDeleteWe have a spring now in Aus but I never say "No" to cozy pictures.
ReplyDelete...Thank you a lot for including me in your blog list.
All great ideas...make me wish we had a fireplace. And that it was cool enough right now to use it. Summer's my favorite season too, but our hot weather is making me feel like I'm in limbo.
