A Look At Wood Fireplaces
Wood fireplaces are ornamental features that are designed to go around working or faux indoor fires. They are becoming increasingly popular in home decoration, and will improve the look and feel of any living room area. Wood fireplaces come in a huge variety of shapes, styles, colours and finishes. There is so much choice available it is often hard to know where to start, however if you follow these tips you will be sure to find the best wood fireplace for your home.
The first thing to do is to measure the area around your fireplace where you want the fireplace to go. If you are renovating the walls behind the fireplace you can draw directly onto the walls with a pencil to see how it fits. Never guess the sizes, always use a tape measure to get an accurate reading of the size you will need.
After you have decided on the size and shape of the fireplace it’s time to consider the look and finish you want. You will want it to complement the lounge area and tie in with the decor of the rest of the house. Do you want a minimalist style or a more traditional, rustic one? What colours would go with the paintwork, your curtains or the carpet? Take all these things into consideration. You will also need to decide on what type of wood you want it to be made out of. Solid timber will provide a beautiful high-quality finish, but it can be very expensive. If you are on a tight budget a fiberboard or MDF fireplace will be a more affordable option. You can always paint over the wood to create a popular shabby chic finish to your wood fireplace.
Another option is to get a fireplace custom made exactly to your specifications. This option is much more costly than purchasing a ready-made fireplace from a store, but it is sure to be more unique and individual. Ordering a tailor made fireplace will also take a long time to complete, so make sure you take this into account before ordering.
