Chesney’s Joyful Summertime Fireplace

Chesneys Joyful Summertime Fireplace A Chesney’s fireplace always creates a grand focal point in any room and in the winter months this can be a feature, which looks great while also being a source of warmth and light.
However in the summer, how can you draw attention to the striking architectural presence of a Chesney’s fireplace in a different way?
Dressing the fireplace with seasonal blooms and foliage will show it in a fresh light:

  •     Try using catkins and willows to drape on and around the fireplace to maintain its focus in the room.
  •     Cascading foliage, flowers trailing to the floor from the mantel, a grate crammed full – and tumbling over delightfully with honeysuckle and jasmine, can be bright and romantic.
  •    Change the static and characterless vase of dried flowers, often stuck in the hearth when the fireplace is not in use, to make your Chesney’s fireplace a    joyful and colourful centrepiece for the summer!

Featured here is the Marseilles fire surround from Chesney’s Stone Collection:

An 18th century provincial French design in bathstone, of warm colour and rugged texture, with console jambs, plain frieze and a generous mantel shelf. This design can be seen in chateaux and manor houses throughout France.
