Are Custom Fireplace Screens The Secret To A Bling Living Room?

Are Custom Fireplace Screens The ‘Missing Ingredient’ In Your Designer Home?

Custom fireplace screens are one of those things that we don’t really think about, until someone or something points it out to us.

I mean, no one really wakes up in the morning and says “Gee, I’d really love a custom fireplace screen. I’ll think I’ll get one at the mall”. Rather, custom fireplace screens are something that can be the missing ingredient in your home - something you never realised was missing until after you acquired one. But why exactly are they so important?

The short answer is that custom fireplace screens can make your fireplace look amazing. For example, if you have a brushed pewter fireplace, you can have a brushed pewter fireplace screen custom-built to match.

Similarly, if you have a Victorian-style fireplace, you can have a Victorian-style fireplace screen built to match. This can really make your home something to be proud of. After all, you don't want your beautiful fireplace hiding behind something that would be ugly even if it were a hockey goal.

The other great thing about custom fireplace screens is that you can have exactly the right features you need. For example, if you have children, you may want a fireplace screen that allows easy access to the fire itself. This way, you can all enjoy the pleasure of toasting marshmallows, cooking hot dogs or roasting chestnuts in the open fire.

On the other hand, if you have pets, you may wish to have a locking fireplace screen that prevents animals from accidentally burning themselves. Glass fireplace screens are also great for keeping your home safe while showing off your gas or log fire to great effect.

In short, custom fireplace screens can turn your hearth into the showpiece of your home. Get a style that complements, rather than detracts from the style of your fireplace, and get the features that suit your lifestyle. After all, home is where the “hearth” is!
