I am often asked what to do with the spaces on the sides of a fireplace if there are no built-ins. I’ll show you some ideas. Here are some of my favorite design ideas.
Table of contents
1. Cabinets
Put console cabinets on each side with floating shelves or mirrors above them.
2. Console table
If you have the room, you can also do a console table.
3. Workspace
If you want to add a function to the space, create a workspace here.
4. Benches
If you have windows, benches work nicely here.
5. Asymmetrical solution
Here's a good example of an asymmetrical design.
6. Shelves
Floating shelves are always a great option here.
7. Tall furniture
If you have tall ceilings, put a tall piece of furniture on each side.
8. Chair and plant
If you like simple, go for a chair on one side and a plant on the other.
There’s so much you can do that’s simple and effective. Let me know what you do on the sides of your fireplace. Leave a comment!
