Not every home is lucky enough to have a fireplace to adorn their living rooms or Christmastime extravaganza. But some are lucky enough to have faux fireplaces inside to at least give the feel and not the functionality of the warmth and glow this nook can give. And if you’re really creative you can even DIY your very own. What’s really important when you don’t have the usable part of this luxury, is how you style the area. When you’ve got the visual, it’s important to know how to decorate a faux fireplace and dress it in all the right ways.

Eclectic Minimalist

Bright and vibrant with a clean ambiance but an eclectic spirit, the mix of accents and neutral tones is such a smart decor choice. It’s trendy with the globe and candle additions but still youthful and sophisticated as well.

Wood-Filled

Fill up the faux area with wood pieces for a rustic but trendy look. And don’t forget to pay attention to the chunky frames adorning the top!

Double Duty

This faux piece acts as two. First, it can be used easily as an entertainment center and storage. Of course, if you style it correctly you can double it as a fireplace (at least in theme.).{found on ana-white}.

Funky Spirit

This fireplace was built from the ground up in a DIY way of wonder. And we’re in love with its funky spirit and quirky color choice.{found on abeautifulmess}.

Modern Innovation

This room is full of modern style, and that goes double for the innovative, faux fireplace design. With some barren sticks to act of the fire’s foundation, this highlighted spot is incredibly fashion-forward.

Take A Seat

We’re loving this creative way of highlighting the woodwork for your “fireplace” and creating something outside-of-the-box. This is also a great way to cover up a spot that you aren’t too fond of.

Personal Touches

Add a bit of your family to the mantle-scape with every new style. Use the faux nook to add depth, texture and extra interest.{found on acultivatednest}.

Cottage Appeal

We’re in love with this cottage flavoring that’s sprinkled all around the space. The fireplace is neutralized and the decor creates a beautiful layering.

Mirrored Image

You can always add a mirror inside the hearth instead of just seeing more of the wall behind the wood or metal foundation pieces. It’ll create fun lights and even an illusion of more space.

Textured Brick

Add a bit of subtle texture inside your faux fireplace with some neutral brick. It creates a solid, blendable foundation but a pop of fun as well.

Book Market

Fill up the inside with some fun books and then create a quirky, flea market style all around. You’ll have a great time mixing and matching.

Rustic Moment

Surprise everyone by keeping your rocks or antlers inside the nook. It’ll definitely add a bit of spark and art to your rustic room.

Fire Art

Create your own fake fire and then gather around by creating your own inspiring, personal space. This could be just the right spot for a reading nook.{found on bklynbride}.

Totally Trendy

The faux fireplace here only adds to the surprising and trendy accents all around the room. It’s just another detail creating such a unique and open space.{found on interiordesignhouston}.

Simple Accents

Sometimes just a simple piece of art can do the trick, whether it be a sculpture or a canvas. Just look at this beautiful arrangement.

Candles Galore

Of course, you can always go with a more romantic setting and add some candles inside. It’ll help give off that warm and cozy vibe a real fire can do.

Florals Too.

You can always add some florals to the mix. It’s quite simple but we love the subtle charm and ease.{found on julietpegrumdesign}.

Vintage Travels

We love vintage suitcases for decorating and adorning an old-age inspired space. So why not fill up a faux fireplace with them to keep them from providing too much bulk in other corners.{found on kaseybuick}.

Kitchen Stash

This swoon-worthy kitchen gets an extra punch of adorable with extra storage held inside this fireplace. Filled with cookbooks and other goodies, it’s a kitchen-lovers dream.{found on lovethomas}.
