So you have a non-working fireplace. So what! How many times would you really light a fire anyway? I do happen to have a working fireplace that we MAYBE light 2 times a year. By the time we think about hauling logs in from outside (after we make sure they’re dry, which is rare as a result of the unpredictable New England weather!), getting the fire properly lit, smoking out the house because we can’t get the flu right….forget it-I’ll just light a few candles for the effect!!
Bottom line is, fireplaces make a beautiful addition to a home weather working or not, and sometimes they are even more beautiful when we enhance them with some of the lovely options below…
a simple candle alter with birch log risers in a non working fireplace, so organic and classic
Loving this black and white theme with a mirror blocking the fireplace
For the beach lovers, coral and sea shells in your unused fireplace!
An elegant option for the nature lover’s non-working fireplace, moss and seasonal greenery, with a few candles (I recommend flame less around all those plants!)
Pumpkins galore! Overload your fireplace with pumpkins and gourds for a festive fall look, showcase family painted pumpkins for a look that’s fun and personalized!
For the holidays, arrange ornaments of varying sizes in your non-working fireplace, gorgeous!
A simple and classic idea for a non-working fireplace, filled with beautiful logs-a look that never fails
I really like the candle holder you’re showing with the candles/birch logs in the first picture. Do you know where I might be able to purchase something similar? I’ve been looking online but haven’t found a good match. Thank you!!
I use my fireplace to store my books 😉 I love it
I have the same comment as Jessica, would like to get that candle holder you’re showing with the candles/birch logs in the first picture. Do you know where I might be able to purchase something similar? I’ve been looking online but haven’t found a good match. Thank you!!
I don’t see that exact one, but there are some on Amazon.
