Thinking your fireplace needs an update?

We have the list to inspire your next home project!

1) Matte Black 

With matte black trending as one of 2019’s biggest trends, your fireplace is sure to be up to date, and an eye catcher.

2) Reclaimed Fun

Using reclaimed wood can be a great way to  add some drama and lovely warmth, while still being rustic.

3) Stylish Shiplap 

With Chip and Joanna making this such a popular and now timeless look, Shiplap is a great way to add some texture and pattern in a neutral way.

4) Lightened Brick 

if you love a more antique feel, a German Smear is a perfect and easy way to add a distressed centerpiece to your home. Top it off with a simple green wreath above, you are sure to get some compliments.

5) Colorful Tile

if you already have an existing white fire place- consider changing the back panel with some colorful tile to match your decor. This is a perfect way to add that pop of color and a great centerpoint.

6) Firewood Beauty 

An easy update can even be the way you store your wood, thinking about

7) Farmhouse Chic 

Exposed brick is a great way to add some charm to any room in your house, as well a more rustic feel.
