Fireplaces

Fireplaces are usually made in living rooms, and accenting the wall with it is a great way to add coziness and comfort. Clad the whole wall with a different material, for example, brick or stone, and make a fireplace. You may also add firewood storage and a mantel to make the fireplace stand out even more. If covering the whole wall with something different isn’t what you want, make a vertical stripe to highlight the space, and it will make the ceiling look higher.
