21 Fireplace Makeovers to Give Your Hearth a New Look [Video]

Add Décor

You don’t need power tools to give your fireplace an impressive update. “Sometimes your fireplace just needs a little décor to elevate without renovating,” says Amanda Wiss, founder of Urban Staging. Adding a mirror, art, some books, candles, or plants can be a quick way to make the fireplace look like it belongs in the room.”

Reflect Light With a Mirror

Adding a mirror above a fireplace gives the space a new look and reflects light into your room, making the space feel larger. It’s a traditional spot to have a mirror, so it can make a dated fireplace feel more intentional. “If you leave a dated fireplace bare, it can sometimes feel like it’s out of place or unwanted,” Wiss says. “By adding a layer of décor, you bring the fireplace into the larger scheme of the room.”
