Hey, everyone!

We here at RAD hope you’re all having an amazing week! With summer around the corner and the wonderful weather we’re having, we turned our thoughts to something in our houses that is often neglected during half of the year: fireplaces. Fireplaces are great for cold winter nights, but they can also be a great design focus in a room all year! So here are a few ideas for what to do with your fireplace during the next few months!

Perfect for a beach cottage.

Love the bust mixed with the more coastal feel of the coral!

Art doesn’t always belong above the mantel 🙂

Arranging firewood in a different way can make all the difference!

The fireplace can be a great place to display some vintage pieces, like the suitcases and frames.

For a sophisticated beach house.

The fireplace can be a wonderful spot for plants!

The fireplace can be a perfect place for a bigger design piece like the statue above!

And for candles! (Also a safe place for candles)

Simple and easy way to decorate a fireplace: large shell.

Or a nice crystal.

Different place for a mirror 🙂

Large shell with corals; very beachy vibe.

These are a few of the many great ways of transforming your fireplace into a beautiful design feature! Oh, and make sure to thoroughly clean your fireplace before adding any decor pieces to it 🙂

If you guys have any other ideas for fireplaces, let us know in the comments section. We’d love to hear from you!!
