How to Revamp your Fireplace Area

March 15, 2018


Your fireplace is truly the heart of the room. Providing warmth and happiness to many, it is the main centerpiece, whether it is just during a larger party, or just a small family gathering. After many years, these fireplaces can start to wear and make you think about getting a new fireplace. If you are thinking of making the switch to a gas fireplace or an electric fireplace, it is a great idea to look at options. If you have a wood fireplace or a fireplace that you can not replace, as you don’t want to spend too much money, there are many inexpensive ways that you can switch this up. Let’s take a look at how to revamp your fireplace.

Paint, Tiles & Sealants: The Ultimate Inexpensive Update

Painting a Brass Surround: Painting your brass surround can be a great way to avoid replacing your entire fireplace. You will need to make sure that your paint is heat resistant, but also, you could just buy a fireplace insert instead of going through all that trouble.

Painting a Mantel: Mantels can be the perfect renovation on a fireplace. By painting this area, you can completely transform the look of the space. Just keep in mind, it does take about 3 weeks to dry, so be careful!

Retiling: Retiling can give a nice, sleek finish to your fireplace that was not there before.

Sealants: This material helps to make sure that your tiles or stones are never affected by the smoke and soot of the fireplace. By adding a sealant, you can preserve the beauty of the natural stone.

Painting Brick: Brick painting is always an option, and adding a color such as a matte black or a dark gray can really add a different layer of complexity to your living room.
