When you need ideas for your living room because something doesn’t feel right, a black fireplace may be what you are looking for. A statement in itself, a black fireplace can become a focal point in your space drawing the eye of friends and family when they gather around.
Combine a black fireplace with an otherwise neutral and off-white décor to create some drama. Or pair it with green walls to make a more muted and moody vibe. A black fireplace will also work with a more traditional shiplap that can help bring some country and farmhouse charm into your space. The good thing about a black fireplace wall is there are a lot of opportunities to make it an integral part of your home.
Even if you don’t have a working fireplace, a faux or a black electric fireplace can come to the rescue. Check out the ideas below to get your imagination going and see how others incorporate this piece of décor in their homes.
