The Corner Fireplace Mantel
The corner fireplace is such a lovely addition to a room. A well-crafted corner fireplace mantel can turn every kind of fireplace, whether wood- or gas-burning, into an attractive centerpiece for any room.
Whether it is a real fireplace or an electric insert, in my opinion the corner is the best spot for a fireplace. Typically corners are a hard spot to decorate. It is hard to put the right piece of art on the wall in the corner or find the right size table to fit that spot. With a corner fireplace that problem is solved.
The greatest benefit of a corner fireplace is the great use of the dreaded bare, dark corner. Alternatively you will Directly have a warm intimate corner. Even better than that is the great big shelf on top of the corner fireplace.
If the fireplace is electric you will have the most space possible. None the less, the traditional smokestack fireplace will give you a large deal of space as well. This space is a great place to present decorative figurines, candles, pictures or even a Tv Set.
Directly the challenge of finding the exact mantel. Whether painted white or stained in a pretty black walnut finish, I think the easiest choice here is the wooden surrounding mantel. It appears Rock or marble would just be overly big for such a huge space.
Another large factor is the obvious cost difference. Since there is more area required in the corner fireplace mantel, the cost of a corner fireplace mantel will be bigger than that of a flat wall mounted fireplace mantel. Rock and marble are much more high-priced than the wooden mantel and given the larger area the less expensive option is distinctly the wooden mantel.
When it comes to actually buying the mantel, shopping around is the sole option. Even if you do not want to make the purchase online, searching online will give you some great ideas. The wooden corner fireplace mantel can run anyplace from $400 to $2,000.
For a genuinely unique mantel have it handmade. Still better would be to build it yourself. If you are happy to take on the job, there are a couple of “how to” videos online. Whichever type of corner fireplace mantel is selected, be sure to follow all safety guidelines in regards to fire safety. These components must be considered when settling on the new mantel for your corner fireplace.
