Incorporate decorative elements in the space above a fireplace to create an accent wall. Often a fireplace is the focal point of the room when it contains a roaring fire. The flames draw attention to the space, and the warmth tends to be inviting to family and guests. When the fireplace is not in use, the area may seem dull or wasted. Spruce up the wall to make the fireplace part of an accent wall instead of the focal point of the room. Reflective Create the illusion of a larger room by adding mirrors over the fireplace. Mirrors placed around any room makes it appear larger, but adding them over a fireplace creates an attractive accent wall to draw attention to a burning fire or pieces on the mantel. A large frame mirror may sit directly on the mantel for shorter ceilings or mirror wall tile may fill the entire upper half of the sandstone wall for higher ceilings. When the fireplace is lit, the mirrors will reflect the room aglow with the flickering flames, offering a warming feature to the area. Faux Stone Give the appearance of an old world castle by creating an accent wall around a fireplace with faux stone. Faux stone tile is available at decorating and home improvement outlets. Its three dimensional appearance adds texture and stands out against flat surrounding stone walls. Completely surround a fireplace with a plain face, or match the tile in color to a framed fireplace. For a large or wide wall, making a large frame with the tile will pull onlooker's focus to the area. For smaller or narrow walls, cover the entire wall over and around the fireplace with the tile. Bold Color A simplistic way to create an accent wall over a fireplace is to use bold colors. In a neutral color room, a wall with a deep red or a bright blue will stand out. Select a bold color to match the decor currently in place for the room. For example, if the sofa has small green leaves in the pattern, choose a grass or forest green for the wall. This idea is cost effective for those on a budget. Paint is relatively inexpensive, and the project typically requires no professional assistance to acheive. Candle Holders Repeat the concept of fire over a fireplace with large candle holders. Large pieces, hung almost anywhere in a kitchen, attract attention. The same goes for the space over a fireplace. Wrought iron candle holders are available in large, multi-candle styles. Center the holder over the fireplace, and fill it with colored candles to match the surrounding decor. Lighting the candles in the holder when the fireplace is burning adds additional attraction and ambiance to the room. Finally, let me have a conclusion.
