If you ask me, I’d say, there’s no living room without a fireplace (and many other rooms, too!). A fireplace is a real generator of coziness and warmth, it’s a centerpiece in any room, even if it’s a non-working or faux one. Have one of these? No problems, you can style it in a very cool way so that it became a centerpiece in your room again. Today we are discussing how to use a fireplace for storage, take a look!
We often lack storage space in our homes, and a fireplace, even a faux one, gives you that additional space that you may use. Your fireplace can be turned into a very creative open storage unit with a display function. What to store inside it? Books and magazines, this is the most popular idea for any home, and you may not just put them there, you can build in some shelves, put them in baskets, buckets and so on. Make an accent using very colorful books!
