Adding some flare to your fireplace- with built ins


So often, the wall space around our fireplaces can be a bare area, lacking function and style. Built in units are a wonderful way to add invaluable storage space while also adding drama to our rooms natural focal point... Here are some of my favourites from Houzz.com...

Love how this built in unit seamlessly incorporates both hidden and open storage as well as an area for the TV....

Sometimes, closed storage is all you need. This unit keeps things simple and neat...

Often times we'd rather not see the TV. In this unit, bi-fold doors are the perfect solution to hide the TV. They can open and slide into the media cabinet when it's time to tune in to your favourite show.

The combination of a stone fireplace and painted built ins looks wonderful.

Even if your fireplace is in a corner, some clever built ins can add lots of storage and style to your space...
