My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How can I update this fireplace?

8 years ago
It is a gas insert and looking to update the whole area including decor. Any suggestions and advice would be much appreciated!

    Are you looking to put a new facade or more than a new piece of art?

    1) If just aesthetic, I'd try find something that yes can sit on the ledge or hung within that space. One piece a bit bold. 2) Something more? What would I do? I'd remove those "columns" above that creates that box and install a simple clean mantel to go over the dark gas insert. Keep us updated!
