Interior inspiration: Fireplaces

I seem to have neglected the interior design aspect of this blog, so today I’m posting some inspiring pictures featuring fireplaces. To me, a fireplace is truly the heart of the house; it gives warmth not just to the body, but also to the soul. A fireplace is comforting, makes the room cosy, and instantly becomes the focal point of the interior.

All these images show my love for white interiors, elegance, simplicity and  clean lines.

I like the idea of using a small recess in the wall for storing  fire logs – beside being functional, it’s a great way to add natural texture to the room.

A fireplace that opens on three sides can be enjoyed in two rooms, and even act as a divider, like  in this  renovated industrial space. Although I’m not a fan of  wood panelling,  the panelled feature wall works well here, thanks to the  high ceiling and spacious interior.

I love the airy feeling of this interior, warmed up by the fireplace and natural texture of timber floor and wicker chairs.

Imagine sitting by this  large open fire, gazing at the garden, the smell of baking bread wafting in from the kitchen…bliss! I like the feel of the modern open plan apartment, too, with the fireplace just in the middle of the living area.

Finally, a perfect example of  the  elegance of white on white, warmed up by natural texture.

Did I manage to inspire you, and maybe make you feel warmer?? Any favourite fireplace? Leave a comment and let me know
