You don’t have to be stuck with the same ‘ol fireplace. There are so many things you can do to give your fireplace a makeover. For instance, a painted fireplace is a fun and inexpensive DIY project that can dramatically change the appearance of your living space. So, if you’re ready to update your fireplace, here are 5 bright ideas for a painted fireplace summer makeover:
White Painted Fireplace
You can never go wrong with the timeless elegance of white. For a clean, smart appearance dip your brush into White Opulence from Benjamin Moore. A fireplace painted with white bricks is the perfect summertime flavor that gives the room a smart appearance. Relax with a vanilla ice cream sundae as a gentle breeze flows through the room from a nearby open window you will have a perfect summer time escape any time.
Sky Painted Fireplace
Surround your fireplace in beautiful crown molding and paint it a cozy shade of blue like Wild Blue Yonder from Benjamin Moore. Or take this shade a step further and paint your fireplace bricks too. It will be like stepping into the clear blue sea without getting wet. This fun and bright shade will give your room the look of a summer beachfront cottage even in landlocked Northern Colorado. All you need are a couple of chairs and a cool refreshing glass of mint iced tea and you will have a quaint living space with a cheery fireplace that reminds you of the bright summer sky.
Sun Painted Fireplace
It’s always a sunny summer day in your living room when you paint your fireplace in a beautiful shade of yellow to match the warm glowing sun such as the sophisticated color of Sherwin Williams Torchlight. You can offset the look with a lightly stained wood mantle for an eye-popping focal point. Of course, painting your mantle in the same or complementing color is a wonderful option too.
Grass Painted Fireplace
Remember sitting on the grass while picnicking in the park during those lazy days of summer? Now you can bring those wonderful times indoors with a beautiful painted brick fireplace. Plume Grass is McCormick Paint’s 2018 Color of the Year and it’s the perfect shade for a fashionable summer fireplace makeover. Decorate your fireplace with scented candles and you have a cozy retreat for a romantic indoor summer picnic any time of year.
Sand Painted Fireplace
There is no better way to enjoy summer than walking along the shores of a sandy beach. But just because you don’t live near the ocean doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the experience. Painting your fireplace in a Creamy White from Benjamin Moore’s premium off-white collection will give your space a tranquil summer vibe. Decorate your mantle with a couple of large conch shells to complete this summer look.
