If you love the sense of setting that a fireplace lends to a room, or the possibilities that the mantlepiece above it presents, but cannot have one, whether out of love for the environment, asthma problems or the sheer expense of keeping it, here is an elegant, eco-friendly and modern solution to this dilemma: the eco fireplace.
By lining the back of an MDF or wooden box with a metal sheet, we can gently reflect the light from the pillar candles, offering a softened glow.
If the chosen pillar candles are soy candles with cotton wicks, then they are safe to use indoors for long periods at a time and are environmentally friendly!
Try to use candles of differing heights, especially taller ones to draw the eyes upward.
Afterwards, you can unleash your creativity on the mantlepiece design. For this one, we chose an ornate black frame and placed silk of a very rich, delicious green shade inside. With the objects below, we chose to toe the line between antique and modern with a grouping of abstract sculptures and a vintage-style figure that still bears geometric designs evoking modernism.
An advantage that the eco fireplace has over the traditional fireplace is the fact that, unlike the traditional fireplace, the eco fireplace is not permanently fixed. You can rearrange its position to your heart's content!
