7 Makeover Through Addition

Build Shelves into Both Sides of the Fireplace

The sight of a fireplace standing alone on a wall can be somewhat lonely. Add shelves on both sides of a wall to increase storage in your home and to fill it with more visual appeal. It will also make your room seem larger and more spacious.

Install Tiles on the Hearth

The mantels come and go. It is the hearth that has always been there, a decorative barrier between the fire and the shag carpet. Try adding some colorful tiles to spice things up. Changing the entire look of a fireplace — and a room — takes just a few weekends by installing new tiles.

Install Tile Around the Fireplace

Adding a tile edge around the fireplace instantly updates it. This is an easy project and the results are astounding. The existing tile might need to be tiled over or the whole tile could be pulled out. There are many options for ceramic flooring, including glass mosaics and marble herringbone tiles. You can incorporate a personal element into your fireplace design by working with an interior fireplace contractor.

Remodel the Mantel to Fit Your Style

A simple mantel surround made of MDF and wood becomes a charming addition to a small fireplace. You will love the new look of your fireplace after building a new mantel.

Add Columns to a Fireplace Mantel

If your fireplace already has a mantel, this fireplace makeover idea will work well. Make your fireplace more impressive by installing columns along the mantel.

Hang Wood Planks Above the Fireplace

The installation of plank wood above your fireplace will give the illusion of a bigger fireplace and higher ceilings. A dramatic look can be achieved by painting the planks in any color to match the decor. Herringbone tiles and white planks can add a beautiful touch to your fireplace.

Install Stone Veneer Over Brick

Do you want to replace an old brick fireplace? Install stone veneer or stone wall tiles to cover it and extend to the ceiling. Adding a custom fireplace mantel to a room with high ceilings will make this makeover even more dramatic!

6 Makeover Through Paint

Whiten Your Brick Fireplace

A whitewash is a reasonable intermediate step between painting and leaving a brick fireplace untouched. The rustic look and color of the brick will still remain, but if you don’t like the colors, they’ll be softened to give you a fresh look.

Use a Bold Color to Paint the Brick Fireplace

Whitewashed brick fireplaces that look beautiful are not the only choice, as you can choose other colors as well. Consider painting your fireplace black to give it a contemporary appearance. You may also combine it with a wooden mantel for a chic look! Vibrant colors, like teal, can also bring out the best results. When you want to redecorate it in the future, you can easily paint it another color.

Turn a Painted Fireplace into a Brick-Looking One

Perhaps you bought a house where the previous owner painted over the bricks, and you don’t like the appearance. You can paint the bricks so they look like bricks! This also allows you to choose the brick color that suits your decor.

Keep the Brick Fireplace Stained

If you don’t want to paint, consider staining your fireplace. For example, a gray fireplace stained with a traditional red can create a warmer, inviting look.

Spray Brass Accents

Brass is becoming popular again, but if brass accents on the fireplace aren’t your style, simply spray them away for an updated look.

Overlap Old Tiles with Fresh Paint

Painting over a fireplace surround you don’t love is an easy way to upgrade your heating system temporarily. Consider a trendy black paint or use a stencil to create a mosaic look, like a Moroccan tile effect.
