NON-FUNCTIONING FIREPLACES
A malfunctioning or otherwise dead fireplace need not sit empty , in fact many non-working fireplaces spark major design creativity . Forget roaring fires , make way for ingenious decorative creations and put that empty space to good use .
Create the focal point of the room with stylish touches . Incorporate logs stacked from top to bottom , choose lighter coloured wood and experiment with neutral paints . Logs offer a classy , authentic appeal and can be easily falsed with a little glue . Accessorise the empty space with vases , ornaments or sculptural pieces for that wow factor ! Place tiered candles together ; the trick to the perfect aesthetic ? Choose a variety of shapes , sizes and bases and introduce luxury textures to make the space feel warm . For a simple touch , use the space to highlight a show-stopper plant or a touch of rustic charm with a neatly piled collection of vintage novels . Turn a simple hole in the wall into a stunning feature that adds character and fits with the overall style of the property .
