Fireplaces in the living room will always be a coveted feature in any home. There are several ways to dress them up, dress them down, or DIY them to fit your style. The unique components of living room fireplace ideas include the surround, the mantel, the legs or pillars, the firebox, the hearth, and the header. Not only is the exterior design unique, but also the function of the fireplace. There are wood-burning stoves, electric fireplaces, gas fireplaces, and fireboxes with candles or no fireboxes at all.
In decorating your living room with the fireplace as a focal point, consider the seating arrangement in relation to where the fireplace stands. Will it be at the front of the room, or off to the side? Is the chimney texture visible to the ceiling, or does it stop at the mantel? Do you have any design elements framing your fireplace such as shelves or windows? These are all ways to make your fireplace stand out while simultaneously blending in with your other living room décor choices. Take a peek at the photographs in this collection to inspire your fireplace aesthetic.
