Unify Your Fireplace and Room Designs
There comes a time when every fireplace will start to lose its prominence as the focal point of a room. Whether from wear and tear or just the changing whims of style, your home's fireplace is a great outlet for your remodeling creativity. Many options exist to either update your existing hearth or completely revamp it with a new hearth system. Whichever you choose, a well executed fireplace renovation can bring back the cozy, charming atmosphere you previously enjoyed.
Unify Your Fireplace and Room Designs
A big part of understanding how to best update or renovate your fireplace lies in understanding the room surrounding it. Take stock of your design scheme. Is it modern? Classic? Does it fit a particular motif? (Colonial, Southwest, Asian, et cetera.) If you're renovating the room as well as the fireplace, you should consider making the fireplace one of the room's main design anchors.
