Shabby Chic Style
If you love the elegant style of French interiors or the more modern alternative of 'shabby chic' you can achieve all of this with a beautiful fireplace.
First of all you will need to work out some measurements of your fire opening and take these with you when you visit a showroom or look online. Take the time to look around reclamation yards and flea markets for those bargains and you might even find a real gem! These days many fireplace shops will sell fireplaces new that look old, in order to achieve this look.
Stone fireplaces are a timeless classic, something like the Maria Limestone works well and is really popular. Teamed with a wood burning stove or cast iron gas fire, the look is elegant as well as functional.
As the focus is on shabby chic here, the beauty is nothing really needs to match decor wise. You can choose from pastel colours for curtains and soft furnishings, use prints and mix old with new. As long as the look feels gentle and even a little retro, shabby chic can come to your home.
Where To Buy?
- Reclamation yards
- Flea Markets
- Car Boot Sales
- eBay

Also, I often have fireplaces for sales that have been removed from people's houses. I only re-sell those that are in good condition and all gas fires are tested before hand. I put most of these for sale on ebay at ID: fireplacesnthings. Go online or contact me for more information.
