Family Room Fireplace Decorating Ideas
It's officially fireplace season! From those first few chilly nights of fall through the holiday season and beyond until spring, a roaring fireplace is an essential element of cozy fall decor for any room. The warmth a hearth creates within a colorful living room or an intimate home library goes beyond its crackling flames; it can serve as a gathering place for family and friends within any comfortable living room for relaxing and sharing stories.
Often seen as the heart of a room, the fireplace also allows designers and homeowners to seamlessly showcase storied collections and extraordinary pieces of artwork. No matter if you are looking to dress up your mantle for the holidays with Christmas mantel decorations, add another layer of comfort to your bedroom with peaceful decor ideas, or even add a source of heat on your porch or outdoor living room, there's a fireplace design style for you. These 60+ fireplace ideas from the VERANDA archives will inspire a stylish focal point in any space.
