You can make a focal point from other features like a window, or a piece of furniture or a painting. A room doesn’t need a fireplace to work around. The important thing is to decide what part the furniture plays in the room and what people will be doing in the space sitting, eating, watching television, talking etc. The spherical shape of these decorative balls bring contrast to the rectangular fireplace.
Natural materials like a wood mantel are intrinsically beautiful and these can be a feature in their own right. Whether your fireplace isn’t usable or you simply want to keep it interesting during its cooler moments, consider placing unexpected objects inside of it to maintain it as a focal point. If you want a more minimalist style in your home you can leave the mantel bare, particularly if you have a modern style log burner instead of an open fire.
When dressing the mantelpiece decide what most suits the style of your room and either opt for symmetry with a pair of something like candlesticks on either side, or go for asymmetry and use groups of different things but don’t be tempted to overcrowd the surface less is definitely more The surround can be an excellent place to display objects and the space above it is perfect for a large mirror or beautiful painting. A focal point can make this easier and a fireplace provides a very natural focal point. Not only does it provide welcome warmth but when lit it provides movement. Layout of furniture in a room can be challenging, so we spend time working alongside our clients to maximise the potential of each room.
