Neutral fireplaces : the top
In order to make the most of your fireplace, we recommend that you adopt a simple precaution. That is to keep it neutral in terms of colour. Opt therefore for colours that are basic, compatible with the rest of the house, but perhaps keeping lighter shades. In this way, it will be possible to diversify the decorations throughout the year, without making everything tacky and out of season!
What to put on the top ?
So let’s start to understand what we can insert to enhance our fireplace. To do so, we have decided to divide the furnishing accessories into colour bands, according to the season of reference. Let’s discover them together !
Winter : in this month we recommend strong shades. Red, green and blue are the most popular, as they also evoke the Christmas colours. But under the festivities, of course, feel free to dare even with gold and silver. As for the objects, we recommend evergreen twigs and scented candles. Don’t exaggerate! During this period, remember that the fireplace will be lit!
Spring : the period of rebirth deserves a twist ! So let’s start with pastel shades and the first wild flowers. If you are not lucky enough to find some particularly pleasant flowers, insert family photos or simply travel souvenirs. I recommend the size : small objects and not too invasive !
Summer : the season when you forget about the fireplace. But woe betide you if you neglect it too! In this case, you can bring a bit of freshness. How? By placing shells or simple books that have some colours that go with the sky blue and orange. The main colors that remind us of this season! Also, remember that summer is the season of freedom! So feel free to dare, even if you insert typical summer flowers, such as sunflowers, even if they are not small!
Autumn : autumn is the month when you start to need warmth. So choose to decorate the inside of your fireplace as well. Create a composition also with pumpkins and mushrooms, which you will then use in the kitchen. You will combine aesthetics with taste!
