At this time of year, halls, including fireplaces, are decked. While the classic stocking and pine combination will likely make an appearance, there are many ways to transform that standard fire heap into a beautiful Christmas fireplace. After all, it has kept us cozy and roasting our chestnuts from season to season. And thus, they deserve to be fussed over. The best part is it won’t get lost in a sea of lights and treasured ornaments.
To make your fireplace noticeable, think about the aesthetics you want. A fireplace with an accent wall can inspire a different palette direction than the traditional reds and greens. Try incorporating more of your personal interests in the décor for a unique twist. There’s also the option of going minimal and doing more with less if you’re not in the mood to fill every space on your mantel. From simple to eye-catching, continue on for more fabulous Christmas fireplace ideas.
