Add Style To Your Home With Fireplace Corner Mantels
The corners are some of the hardest places to decorate in a room, whether that's living spaces, bedroom, or kitchen. One way to add function and style to a corner is by building a fireplace lined with surround mantels. This is particularly ideal for residential homes that are rather compact, if not limited, in space, such as that of a condominium unit. Although the heating unit is places in a corner, it can still be a centerpiece in a room with the right fireplace corner mantels.
Going for stone surround mantels is a great idea for homes with relatively enough space for a loveseat and one or two ottomans. Stone materials have the tendency to make the room feel rather constricted, so it choosing ones with smoother finishes, like marble, limestone or granite, will avoid this. Uneven surfaces of dressed stones and bricks can be accommodated for fireplaces in wider spaces, and caps can be used to further effect.
Such mantels also allow the homeowners to manipulate the design of the fireplace. There are plenty of decent pre-fabricated units to choose from, but there is nothing like having one's signature on the fireplace. Custom designing of surround mantels is quite upscale though and may be limited to those with enough resources. Be that as it may, there are a growing number of people who are decorating their fireplaces with mantels, D-I-Y style.

Fireplaces in living rooms are always in competition with another likely centerpiece, which is the television. By placing it somewhere above the fireplace on a shelf, the space becomes more integrated and visually focused; people immediately know where to place themselves when they enter such a room. Having stone surround mantels instead of wooden surrounds, allows for a television to be near the fireplace without damaging its electrical components with the heat. Besides a TV, photo frames and other memorabilia can be added decorations to the corner fireplace. |
