If the fireplace is used primarily to make fire, you can also turn it away so that it becomes a real object of decoration. One does not prevent the other !
Moreover, it is not uncommon that in some houses it is doomed to make the figuration then as much to enjoy it to enhance it and offer your home charm and authenticity.
A short tour of images ...

A style mirror to decorate the top of your fireplace

A mirror, yes. But not just any one!
The mirror that was once placed above the fireplace was called a pier.
He was installed on the chimneys in the royal mansions and was considered a sign of wealth. The idea was to give importance to a chimney sometimes a little dull and banal.
Today, the principle is the same: a mirror is placed above its chimney in order to embellish it, to give it character.
With the difference that it is now possible to play with the styles and bring to the fireplace the desired look. Modern, design, classic ... make yourself happy!
