2 Questions to Ask Yourself When Purchasing Fireplace Mantels

Whether you’re having a new home custom built or you’re looking to remodel, you have a lot of decisions to make. And some of the most important choices will come when you are considering fireplace mantels. Sure choosing your fireplace surround may seem straightforward enough, but consider the following questions.

1. Do you want to customize?

First and foremost, you need to decide if you want a fireplace mantel like the neighbor down the street or if you want something customized to your own specifications. Obviously those looking to remodel or customize their homes would be wise to have their fireplace mantels composed to match their space.

2. What material should you choose?

First let’s look at your main options: limestone and wood. Is that even a choice? Wood deteriorates. Wood stains. Wood fades. Limestone does none of those. And let’s not forget that wood can catch on fire, which doesn’t work very well when used around a fireplace…

When you answer these questions, the correct decision is pretty obvious. Choose limestone fireplaces for one of a kind, durable, and safe fireplace mantels.

Why Choose Marble Fireplace Mantels?

What is the focal point of your living room? If you’re like most Americans, it’s most likely your television. And not that there’s anything wrong with that, but imagine if you changed that. Imagine for a moment that instead of centering your gathering room on a television that cuts conversation and sends everyone into their own trance—instead of that you decided to turn the focus on something that brings warmth, comfort, and even romance. That’s exactly what you can do with marble fireplace mantels.

Make a Statement with Marble Fireplace Mantels

Most homes come equipped with fireplaces. These days it’s pretty much standard. But often they are cookie cutter fireplaces that, aesthetically speaking, leave much to be desired. This wasn’t so in the old days. In fact, traditionally the fireplace is the signature statement of the home. So if that is the case—what is your saying about your house?

When you go with marble fireplace mantels, you can instantly take the quality of your home up five notches with a truly unique piece. So make a statement and contact Barbara Tattersfield Design, Inc. now!

Through international travel, upper echelon homeowner’s have become culturally savy and more refined in their preferences to incorporate natural stone as a means of function and design. Architects and landscape architects alike are further developing available square footage to enhance exterior lounges and outdoor kitchen areas which call out for appointments in natural stone. These outdoor living spaces have furthermore migrated from simple patios to principal seating areas with distinctive stone features. Garden settings are becoming more defined by integrating stone planters and carved benches, ravishing fountains and period urns. Fully functioning limestone fireplace mantels have also become more widespread within these custom home projects.
