Many people choose to have a fireplace in their home because they love to be able to build a fire to ward of the chill of the cold seasons. There simply is just nothing better than cuddling before a cozy, gently crackling fire when the weather takes a turn for the worse. But there are other more decorative reasons that the fireplace is so popular. Many people enjoy the fireplace for its aesthetic appeal and use it as a dramatic focal point instead of a place in which to build fires. For these people the right accents and hearth décor really bring their fireplace to the forefront and make it a gorgeous focal point in any room.
One of the easiest ways to add drama and a decorative flair to your fireplace is to use a fireplace screen. Normally the screen serves a very practical function, but it can also be used solely as a decorative accent. In addition to keeping your home free from smoke and ashes, the fireplace screen provides a beautiful, decorative accent for the focal point of your room. For someone looking for a fireplace screen to fill the decorative role only, stained glass fireplace screens offer the perfect opportunity to create a stunning hearth.
No matter what your decorating style, there is sure to be a stained glass fireplace screen to mirror your individual tastes and personality. There are stained glass fireplace screens which are elegantly designed to be used in Antique, Victorian and Baroque decors, just to name a few. While not very practical for use in a burning fireplace, stained glass fireplace screens are elaborately crafted pieces of art which are a very exquisite addition to any décor. You can choose from hand crafted scenes depicting images with spiritual significance or stained glass images of your favorite collectibles or decorative touches such as light houses, hummingbirds, flowers and geometrical shapes and patterns.
There are two basic designs of the stained glass fireplace screen: folding and single screen. The single screen fireplace screen is positioned directly in front of the fireplace and completely blocks off the view to inside the fireplace from the living space. This stained glass fireplace screen would be great for people who wanted to completely shut off the fireplace from view in a gorgeous eye catching way. The folded panel stained glass fireplace screen is available in three panels and sits out and away from the fireplace. If you like to burn a fireplace candelabrum, this could be the perfect screen for you. Just imagine how the delicate light from a burning candelabrum would highlight the colors in the stained glass fireplace and reflect those colors into your room.
So, if you’re one of those people who love to have a fireplace but do not really like to have a fire, perhaps you should consider making your fireplace the focal point of your room by purchasing a delicate, exquisitely beautiful stained glass fireplace screen.
