What do you imagine when we say ‘fireplace’? Perhaps something of red or whitewashed brick, with a couple of chairs in front of it – very traditional and very boring. What about a fresh take on this traditional piece? I’ve gathered a whole bunch of colorful fireplaces that are to blow your mind, dive in for inspiration!
Colorful Fireplaces
How to make your existing fireplace colorful and catchy? First of all, you may paint it – that’s a great and the easiest way to make your fireplace outstanding, whatever the material your fireplace is made of. Rock bold colors – pink, sunny yellow, emerald, electric blue and others. Your mantel can be done matching or even contrasting – of some other bold shade! Don’t want any additional attention here? Choose a neutral or black mantel then. Such a fireplace will make your room unique showing off your bright personality.
If you are going to clad your fireplace with tiles, choose bright and patterned ones, that will make your fireplace unique. Don’t limit yourself to any colors or patterns, use whatever you prefer! And again, a colorful mantel will be a nice finish for your bright fireplace – it can be matching or contrasting but it’s totally a great idea.

Colorful Mantels
If you don’t want to redo the whole fireplace, if it’s too difficult and takes much time and effort, or if you aren’t allowed to make any changes in your rented home, this idea is for you – add a bright mantel! You can paint the existing one or just make a new and super bright mantel to cover the fireplace. The same idea can be used if you literally have no fireplace and want to make at least a faux one, just attach a bright mantel to the wall and place some candles into your ‘fireplace’ and voila! You may also style this mantel if it’s made as a shelf and display some lovely pieces on ti to add to the decor.
