It leaves it looking as if something is missing. Fireplace surrounds help to build the fire into the room visually, framing the fire in a way that suits your unique living space.

The mantel occupies a key position, and it doesn’t take to bring a fresh ambience to your living space with just a bit of creative thinking.
