The Arts and Crafts Fireplace -- The Perfect Way to Warm Your Home
 |
T The Arts and Crafts design movement was most popular during the Victorain Age which was well marked for its ornate and romantic details.Though commonly known as mission style,it accompanies with simple patterns and straight lines.The movement included both exterior and interior home design, and reflected the changing needs of families. This design period hit its peak in the early 1900s but is still extremely popular for homes today. The Arts and Crafts fireplace is a great way to add warmth and beauty to any home.
Because this movement placed such significance on natural materials, fireplaces will be made from either stone or wood. You won't see intricate detailing or carving, rather, this style fireplace will feature geometric patterns and clean, unadorned lines. Many of today's homeowners do the same thing homeowners of the early 20th century did -- combine the stark beauty of the Mission style with the romantic details of the Victorian Style. It's not uncommon to see beautiful wallpaper or area rugs featuring busy fruit and floral patterns in a Mission style home. The contrast is appealing and plays perfectly against the lines and colors of the gleaming hardwoods.
Iron was, and is a popular material for this type of fireplace. Many homeowners use colorful fireplace tiles to add interest to the classic look of the iron. The Arts and Crafts home is one that features lots of wood, metal and glass with an emphasis on warm colors and geometric patterns. Many feel the Arts and Crafts style home lends itself perfectly to Southwestern style decor, and indeed it does. However, you can usually manage to fit any type of decor into an Arts and Crafts style home because of its simplicity. Natural materials featuring clean lines and neutral tones go with most anything.
The Arts and Crafts fireplace is just as popular today, if not more so, than it was during its peak. You will find plenty of modern designers and manufacturers offering this style of fireplace for new homes. Modern technology has given us the portable gas fireplace, which is perfect for renters or people who cannot have a traditional fireplace. These fireplaces are made in many different styles, including Mission style. You can choose from beautiful wood and iron styles to add classic beauty to your home, no matter where you live!
