1. Slate Fireplace
The material of your fireplace can bring together an open floor plan and make it feel much more homey. Tying some of the textures from your fireplace back into other areas of your house is a great way to utilize more of your space. A slate fireplace gives your home an edgy persona, and you can use the same material for a built-in bench for added seating and firewood storage. Muted colors work well to pull from the warmer colors used in your furniture or fall decorations.
2. Be a Shell Out
When it comes to your indoor furniture, it’s acceptable to be a “shell out.” A tabby fireplace with sizeable chunks of shell captures a fresh seaside style. A distinct fireplace material benefits from aligning your fall decor and design elements. Warm hues of oceanic blue, orange, and yellow accent the structure to co-exist nicely with the fireplace design. A relaxing recliner or plush sofa are excellent pieces to include near the fireplace to enjoy the warmth of fall or to daydream about the warmer days you’re missing.
3. Laidback
Simple can still be better. A classic, posh fireplace adds a simplistic sophistication to your living room space. A fireplace built into your mantle helps to seamlessly transition the neutral rooms in your house to a more vivid composition. Limestone is a popular material to catch eyes without overwhelming your space.
Mounting a TV above the fireplace signals to your guests that it’s time to come together after your holiday meal and sets the foundation for a cozy entertaining space. Set out ottomans and sectionals nearby so all of your fall time guests can comfortably gather around the fire and enjoy the company. Keep plenty of throw blankets and pillows nearby to round out the warmth of your decor.
4. Keep it Casual
During the change in season, many of us are most looking forward to having some time to relax. Getting cozy by the fire is a great way to unwind and relax when the weather is getting cold. An indoor design with light tones creates a casual, comfortable vibe. The simplistic, natural stone surrounding your fireplace adds a neutral, beachy tone to your decor year-round. If your mantel frames your fireplace, it’s great for added space for your fall lights and decorations. A smaller mantel helps to keep a minuscule design rather than an oversized, gaudy structure taking over your room’s laid-back tone. Setting up your fall centerpiece and furniture-side tables bring your space together and provide the necessary elements to entertain or take a long afternoon snooze.
5. Add Some Drama
Adding a dramatic color to your fireplace and decoration space helps provide a strong statement to the rest of your home decor. Rich, dark colors around your mantel help curate your accessories and complete your interior design. It can be a good idea to stick to a few repeated forms and colors to add drama and heat to your fire setting. Keep in mind the color of your furniture as well. Sticking with a lighter color palette throughout your home will pull the details from the darker hues to make your fireplace stand out the most. Whether it’s your sofa or coffee table, keep similar colors and gradients in mind.
6. Can’t Beat Classic
With a traditional, classic mantel, your fireplace can exude casual elegance. Adding brick creates texture and a smooth, muted color helps maintain a consistent, clean look throughout your fireplace. Adding a mirror above the mantel reflects light to help open up your indoor space and create a nice airy feel. A neutral design will match any furniture or decorations you plan to include. If you’re setting up pumpkins or harvest wreaths, the decor will blend perfectly for a festive and cozy design.
