Warm Your Living Room Decor With a Fireplace

Fireplaces belong in the living room – there are no surprises there. But if you’re struggling to redesign your living room, it might be worth some reminding. Opting for the fireplace as a focal point can produce an effect of communal living, of family gathering, as well as a sense of peacefulness that cannot be attained when the focal point is a television.

For example, consider the above Zen living room. Notice how the fireplace perfectly coordinates with the elegant simplicity of the design, and how it amplifies the effect with its hypnotic flames. You don’t have to have a Buddhist-inspired decor for that – this principle stays true across many contemporary and modern decors.
