Fake Fireplace
Suggestions to create Fake fireplace If the house does not have a fireplace, making a fake fireplace is a solution to make your room look cheerful in winter. Before starting to build a fake fireplace determine the material of the fireplace. This depends on the design and style of the room and the style of fireplace. Choose paint tiles, faux bricks, and wood molding plywood. Determine the type or style of the fireplace. The options range from a flat front style fireplace to a wooden construction of an actual fireplace and mantle. To install a fake stone choose the area and paint a background color. Then mark the area that will be the firebox and give it a dark color. Cut the household sponge into an irregular shape to give an appearance of stone. Dip the sponge in some earth colors. Stick these sponges onto the background of the fireplace alternating the sponge sizes to give it a natural look. Small pebbles can also be stuck on the background of the fireplace. To add a mantle move a wooden shelve over the fireplace area. The mantle can be decorated with curios, photos and so on. Place candles inside the fireplace as this would give a complete illusion of fireplace. This would be great design to give the room a rustic look. Tips to add significance and elegance to faux fireplace 1. Fireplace style should complement the architectural design of the room. That is the fireplace should be in scale with the room. 2. Add candles in the fireplace to enhance the effect of fireplace. To create better illusions add decorative fire screen. 3. Hang art or mirror above the mantle. Keep photos and curios on the mantle top to add elegance and charm to the room and the fireplace. 4. On festival days, for instance Christmas, you can decorate the mantle with drapes and sparkling ornaments. Real or unreal, fireplace exudes not only warmth and charm but also gives a homely touch.
