In any room, a fireplace
stands out as a focal point. Taking that into account, it's important to plan
properly so your fireplace complements the space and existing furnishings.
Choose the design, materials, and mantel carefully so they command attention
but don't look out of place.
These
Tualatin homeowners wanted a clean, traditional classic mantel with surround to
tone down the brick of their existing fireplace. We demo’d the top portion of
the brick mantel, and in coordination with the homeowner’s, designed the
surround to fit the existing structure. Because of the existing window on the
right and shelving cabinet to the left, the surround design had some
confinements. The custom built recessed panels and layers of trim moldings make
this fireplace exude casual elegance. The stately profile of the mantel is
eye-catching and because it’s now wider and can house personal treasures. The brick
adds texture, but the light color helps maintain the clean look. The new TV
mounted above the fireplace signals that the room is suited for relaxing.
