Country Fireplace Accessories

A fireplace is often the focal point of a room. Nothing makes a room more warm and cozy than a nice inviting fire. Since a fireplace is such an important part of the room it is important to incorporate your home decor with your fireplace decor. Usually the best way to do this is to accessorize your fireplace with tools and equipment that match your decorating style.

A common decorating style that goes well with a fireplace is the country style. When we think of country decorating most of us think of cozy kitchens with roosters on the wall and colored cupboards and mix and matched antiques. Decorative accents can be anything from old milk bottles to cow figurines to a pail with sunflowers in it.

But when it comes to country style decorating for your fireplace we usually think of a more rustic country look. Deep woods and old style fireplace tools. More of a hunting lodge look or an old English cabin style.

If you want a traditional American country fireplace accessories then go with an antique set of fireplace tools and a rustic metal log holder. I would downplay intricate designs on the screen and go for a more plain look. You can always offset this plain look with some whimsical country decorations on the mantle like some vintage figurines or cow memorabilia.

If you want a richer deeper country look for your hearth, I would go with the rich woods and heavy cast iron or brass tools to create more of an English countryside feel. Make it kind of a English Country mansion meets a hunting lodge. This look is rather easy to pull off especially if you add some old style touches like andirons or an engraved fire back. I like the ones with a depiction of hunting dogs on them, they are very ornate and have that old country feel.

Another great country style can have more of a western feel. Usually black wrought iron accessories are good for creating this look. Western accessories and leather can make great accents for the western look. If you use a log carrier be sure to opt for the leather one instead of the canvas. You can also add other western items such as wagon wheels, figurines or old horse shoes.

The last country style that you can incorporate into your decorating is the vintage pilgrim style great accessories for this style would be brick and wood with traditional tools and a few extras like, a bellows, an antique toaster, and antique cooking pots.

Country decorating can be very eclectic and is really a hodge podge of several different styles combined. That's why it is easy to spruce up your family room with country fireplace accessories, because for the most part anything goes. You can gradually add the pieces that you like best and eventually they will all combine to create a great country style fireplace look.
