How to cover an ugly fireplace in a rental
Ethan Hayes
The naturally occurring tile stone is the best possible thing to hide the ugly fireplace or it could be placed directly. There is a vast variety of tiles and their ranges. There are different colors, patterns as well as finishing. They go with all the three, contemporarily, modern and traditional too. It’s much more difficult to stomach when you’re gazing at a space that appears to be plagued by an unsightly, outmoded hole in the wall that someone decided to call a “fireplace.”
But don’t be alarmed! There are a few things you can do to assist your fireplace transition from something you attempt to hide to something you deliberately invite people over to see.
Here are some suggestions:
Replace the fireplace surround entirely.
We can make a large fireplace point with a kind of slate frame. These frames can create a feeling of oneness. It could be in the form of mirror work or maybe a flat-screen.
It should be painted white:
While there is much to be said for the beauty of old brickwork, it may occasionally come off as dirty and worn instead of industrial and stylish. If this is the situation with your fireplace, try applying a fresh coat of white paint to the whole structure.
Framings:
Natural stone (or brick) is used to frame it, and built-in bookcases surround it on both sides. This gives a modest fireplace more respect and depth, which would otherwise be overwhelmed by a huge room.
Textured elements:
The important thing here is the textured artwork because the whole area is been white. That is why a textured stoned fireplace was a more preferable option.
Keep it basic and add artwork.
A red brick fireplace surround is the quintessential classic fireplace surround. Instead of competing, these homeowners enhanced the attractiveness of the brick by simply adding a huge piece of nature-themed art.
