The fireplace from the moment of its appearance in the house immediately becomes its organic part and the energy center. He attracts the attention of guests and collects all households around him.
When choosing a model of the device in the store, you, of course, first of all take into account its technical characteristics and functionality, but a portal design is no less important criterion. You can select his style in accordance with the general concept of the room or vice versa, decorate the room for an already equipped fireplace, but it is important to make sure that everything is organically combined and the impression of a holistic picture is created.
It is not possible to find two identical fireplaces, since everyone wants to make the design of his home individual and unique. However, the main styles of portal decoration are distinguished:
Classical. A simple and elegant fireplace in the English style has an open firebox and a P-shaped portal, decorated with bas-reliefs, columns, sculptural compositions or tiles. For cladding, marble, dolomite, nephritis or onyx are most often used.
Empire and Baroque. The Baroque style is characterized by the presence of numerous carved elements and Florentine mosaics. Portals, which are often depicted by battal or biblical plots, are decorated with gilded bronze, and marble is used to finish them. Empire fireplaces are monumental and pompous structures with a variety of decorative elements.
Country. Wooden fireplaces organically look organically in summer houses or cottages decorated in a hunting style. It is not uncommon to finish rustic fireplaces in the style of country shell, brick, sandstone or tuff.
Tramy fireplace. Portals lined with artistic tiles look luxurious and rich. In most cases, such a fireplace becomes the main decoration of the house.
New styles. The fireplace modern is a child of modern civilization. It is characterized by straight lines, original shapes and an unusual location in the room. For a city apartment or office, mights in the high-tech style are most often chosen: for their manufacture, non-trivial materials are used, and a variety of forms allows you to choose a model for any interior.
The choice of materials for the design, decoration and accessories is limited only by the imagination of the owners and their financial capabilities. The main thing is to remember no matter what style you prefer, it should become an integral part of the entire interior and harmoniously supplement it.
