Comment décorer sa cheminée

Decoration, colours, materials: everything you need to know to enhance your fireplace this winter

What if, this winter, your fireplace became the real star of your interior? It's the perfect season to show it off with a few decorating tips. Simple ideas, but ones that always make an impact!

For a cosy style, focus on accessories that transform the fireplace into a real winter decoration. Think fairy lights, scented candles, woollen blankets and, above the mantelpiece, why not a few fir branches or dried pine cones? All these elements create a warm and comforting atmosphere and accentuate the benefits of a log fire.


When it comes to colours, for a successful mix-and-match effect, opt for browns, beiges, creams and ochres: natural, timeless shades that go with everything and reinforce the cosy feel of your home.


When it comes to materials, play with textures: curly wool, corduroy or even raw wood. These elements add charm and personality to your fireplace. You can also display your logs in a pretty basket: a great way to combine practicality and aesthetics!

Our ideas for creating a cosy atmosphere around the fire

To take it a step further, why not create a cosy space around the fire? A place to gather, read or chat, close to the warmth and light of the flames.

Simply arrange some XXL cushions, thick rugs and soft throws near the fireplace. Alternatively, the onset of winter could also be an opportunity to rearrange your living room and place armchairs and sofas around the fireplace. The fireplace then becomes the central feature of the room, the beating heart of the home. This layout creates a convivial atmosphere, perfect for get-togethers.

To create the perfect atmosphere, pay attention to the lighting. Choose dimmable accent lamps rather than ceiling lights and pendant lights. The goal is to create a subdued atmosphere that invites relaxation. Finally, to awaken your senses, add a scented candle, synonymous with escape.

Our decorating tips for a chic and contemporary style around the fireplace

While winter and fireplaces are often associated with a cosy, chalet-style atmosphere, you can also play with contrasts and mix styles. For a look that blends tradition and modernity, combine a classic stone fireplace with more minimalist elements: round mirrors, brass lamps and discreet but elegant decorative objects, such as a ceramic vase or a Berber rug. Here, we favour beige tones, while daring to add a touch of black contrast with a set of candlesticks, beautiful blankets or small pieces of furniture. Gold and brass accents enhance the overall look and bring a breath of modernity to the fireplace area.


For a more upmarket living room, take inspiration from the Japandi trend, which combines Japanese serenity with Scandinavian cosiness. Keep the lines clean and soft, favouring beautiful materials without overloading the space with accessories. Here, the fireplace and the flames are enough on their own. It's the perfect combination of elegance and warmth, ensuring that every fire becomes a moment of cosiness and harmony.

This timeless style will easily transcend fashions and seasons. But you can personalise your fireplace as winter approaches with a few seasonal accessories (blankets, cushions, candle holders, plants, etc.), which will disappear when spring returns!
