13 Creative Ideas To Decorate a Non-Working Fireplace

Today I have picked several cool ideas of what you can do with your non-working fireplace. Yes, if the fireplace doesn’t work, it’s not the reason to neglect it, in fact you can create an eye-catching focal point in a room using these simple decorating tricks:

1. Cover it with a bold and colourful screen!  I really love this geometric pattern below but also thought of botanicals (so popular today) –  these striking designs add a pop of colour to a space:

2. How about adding a touch of coastal elegance to a space with this beautiful coral display?

3. Stacking books is one of my favorite decorating tricks for an unused fireplace – and so easy to make!

5. Artwork is another way to add a little bit of colour to a room. If you prefer a neutral, minimalistic look, pick a black and white photography and frame it in a wide passe-partout – it will look very eye-catching!

6. This one is my favorite! (perhaps because Hermes is my favorite brand?) These orange boxes look so cool together and simply can’t be unnoticed:

7. Dark, moody and a little bit rock-n-roll fireplace decorated by famous British designer Abigail Ahern:

8. You can give a homey and a bit rustic feel to a space by piling logs in your fireplace:

9. This romantic style is perfect for for long autumn evenings –  very inviting and relaxing at the same time….

10. Decorate with plants! – though make sure that it gets enough light or you use shade-loving species:

11. Put a mirror inside for a very interesting visual effect:

12. One more idea with candles, but I just couldn’t skip this adorable bedroom 

13. Place vases – they look very elegant and classic. And yes, go for odd numbers and different heights!

Love all these ideas, though for my future home, I will arrange something like this:

And what’s your favorite idea?
