POLL: What do you put above your fireplace?
A focal point to any room, a fireplace gives every space an axis to work off of. But what do you place above it - a mirror, a piece of art, a TV or quite simply...nothing at all?

Besoin de conseils pour choisir les rideaux pour un salon scandinave
Commentaires (84)bonjour, ils sont très bien les rideaux que vous avez trouvé, le bleu est bien clair et dans les tons pastels que nous utilisions beaucoup en Scandinavie. Le bleu assortie pour le coussin est parfait. Si vous souhaitez vous rapprocher du style Scandinave il faut choisir entre rideaux et voilage comme on ne mets jamais le deux, beaucoup trop lourd pour nous intérieurs ou on essaye toujours garder une luminosité maximale. En Tunisie vous avez le problème contraire donc il faudra s'adapter et trouver une équilibre entre le style Scandinave et vous besoins. Si vous souhaitez avoir une voilage je conseillerai vivement un blanc uni, sans rayure! votre tableau bleu et jaune sera très bien avec l'ensemble, il est très beau!...

Commentaires (36)Microwave next to the table would solve the bad looks and the height issue. Normally upper cabinets can be about 48cm above countertop, but since it looks better to have them on the same height as the built-in hood, you'll need 60cm. But if you're 1.60m you could consider a free hanging hood and some upper cabinets next to it, otherwise all uppers would be too high for you and you'd only use the lower shelf. And even better: Buy an oven with microwave function! (already posted that I think) Oven with microwave is different than microwave with grill. I even have a 12 year old tiny Panasonic combi that makes perfect bread and pizza!... Voir plusCuisine 11 m2 avec ilot ?

Commentaires (10)Hello Catherine, It seems like a different solution is somewhat blocked by 1) the size/shape of the room, 2) the door and window positions as well as 3) the type and size of the furniture... (sorry I know this is obvious). Something has to give... Could you give the exact room size and confirmation of doors or passages? (door to the right? arched passage to the left of the piano?) Is the furniture that you have included actual or new? What are their footprints? How is the bay window done? full height floor to ceiling? starts at bench height? How is the window exposed? East, West, North or South? How high is the fireplace and is it's angled wall also full height? Most upright pianos are around 1m30 (or à little more than 4 feet). Putting a TV above it can be an option, but perhaps a little uncomfortable, not to add that visually it will be an odd addition unless you take the "fake painting" version (ex Samsung "The Frame"). thanks in advance, Lynn...

il y a 8 ansDernière modification :il y a 8 ansI have a Regency-style girandole mirror with gilt entertwined dolphins above the mantel in my main parlor. I have an engraving of one of my ancestors above the mantel in the dining room. In the lower parlor, I have a great old albumen composite of the officers of the CSS Alabama, which was built in England. One of my ancestors was an officer on board for her entire cruise.

il y a 8 ansDernière modification :il y a 8 ansMine is spookily very similar to 'Southernpointofview'. Would be interesting to compare our other rooms. It's not clear in the pic but there is a wood burning stove in the fireplace and that 'Perky' of Pinky and Perky puppets fame hangs off the side of the fireplace. In my Regency home I always like to add a touch of humour to the decor. It makes people smile.

il y a 8 ansTo take advantage of the views, I turned an unused bedroom into an upstairs sitting room, but It needed a focal point so I chose a contemporary fire and surround and placed the TV above. I think it has worked well.

These are pretty cool.
We have one that gets lots of comments. So much so we have named him!

il y a 7 ansOriginally the most popular item to put above the fireplace was a mirror, typically a wooden gilt frame and fairly tall to compliment the high ceilings of Georgian and Victorian homes.
Judging by the what our customers opt for I would say the mirror is still a popular choice, although perhaps not so ostentatious now. Take this simple mirror in the picture below further enhancing the symmetry of the arranged ornaments.

We love the way one of our customers complimented this classic style fireplace with a bold, stand-out piece of artwork. It really draws the eye as an attractive centerpiece to their living space.

il y a 7 ansWe love seeing a mirror or a painting above a fireplace. A mirror is such a simple and versatile way to reflect the room, making it feel more open and spacious, A luxurious mirror can become a stunning focal point. However a piece of art will create a focal point that draws more attention and can add a point of interest and colour. Ultimately depends on what you're trying to achieve. We love how our customer added a pop of colour to this white room, creating a subtle and contemporary harmony between the fireplace and the art above it.

il y a 7 ansI am lucky enough to live in a flatshare that has a fireplace, even if it doesn't work! I just love the way it brings the room together and encourages snuggling up on the sofas with a nice cup of hot tea and a good book to read! There is something very homely about a fireplace and although our one is bare of any mantlepiece decorations, one of my favorite artworks claimed its spot above it almost as soon as I stepped foot in the house! The color of the marble and the undertones in the paintings couldn't have worked any better if I wanted them to and I feel like the dimensions are pretty well balanced! My flatmates certainly didn't oppose!
