The stone fireplace is a room centerpiece that represents both warm and pastoral charm. Although stone fireplaces have been around since the days of old, they have definitely moved into modern times with much flair. By design, stone fireplaces are usually the strongest element in the room. The key to decorating a stone fireplace is to play up its strengths without detracting from the beauty of the stone. Homeowners armed with good common sense and some understanding of some of the basic principles of decorating stand the best chance of creating a beautiful fireplace display. Instructions as follows: Firstly, look at the theme of the décor already in the room. Fireplace decorations should not clash with what's already in the room. Make your decorating plan from that. Secondly, decorate the upper walls of the fireplace, the hearth and the mantle for the best decorating results. Decorating elements that are seen on the mantle should be repeated in those on the hearth. Thirdly, hang items such as wreaths or tapestries on the stone wall above the mantle. These look best when displayed 2 to 3 feet above the mantle, right at the center point. Fourthly, consider mantle covers or table runners that have been converted to fit the mantle to bring the room's theme colors to the fireplace. Fifthly, create a homey feel to your fireplace by decorating with books. Coffee table books, leather bound or faux leather bound books, or fancy children's books add flair when they're placed on the mantle or the hearth. Haphazard, rather than orderly, placement gives the place the feel of home. Sixthly, wine bottles, antique perfume bottles and even fancy oil bottles make great accessories for the fireplace. Look for bottles with pretty labels, interesting cuts in the stone industry, we are in possession of a powerful technology group and high-efficiency operations management system.
