1. Wedged With Wood
There is something so warm and cozy in a fireplace filled with
logs. Not only does it add warmth, it creates a natural rustic look
as well.
2. Rustic Display
Not loving the log idea, but still wanting to go for a rustic
look? hop onto the antler trend by creating an artful antler
arrangement.
3. Book Nook
If your fireplace never worked (and never will), there's no reason
to pretend otherwise. Put the interior space to work by installing
shelves to store books or display a collection. For even more
punch, brush on a few coats of saturated color, like the bright
blue shown here.
4. Toy Corner
A fireplace may seem too stiff or austere in a child's room, but
when filled with toys it gets a light fresh makeover.
5. Reflections of Space
If you have a small space, try placing a mirror inside your unused
fireplace, it will bounce the light and make your room feel
larger.
6. Candles
In the winter months opt for the easy glow of fire without the
mess of ash by duplicating the glow and flickering with candles.
Low maintenance and yet still cozy.
