Must-have Fireplace Accessories

I think there are two types of people in this world, those that have a fireplace and NEVER use it and those that have a fireplace and ALWAYS use it (and I guess that group of people without a fireplace, but that kind of solves itself, doesn’t it)! It’s likely you’re one or the other based on a couple different obvious factors like location or what your family’s always done– but I suspect, in many cases, it could simply be out of lack of convenience. I’m a believer that if it’s difficult when you go to use it, you won’t use it! Not because we’re lazy or unmotivated, but you just kind of talk yourself out of it if the trouble is greater than the benefit you get.

With that being said, I’m a strong proponent of keeping your must-have fireplace accessories at arms length, so they’re ready at a moments notice! 

And if you know me, you also know I’m a strong proponent of decor that makes your home feel cozy, curated, and warm! That’s where fireplace accessories that are beautiful AND functional meet in perfect harmony. To give you a headstart on prepping your fireplace for a little more love this year, I’ve rounded up some must-haves everyone should keep close by!
