Who says a fireplace hearth has to be plain? 👀
We love how Instagrammer has transformed this once rather dated fireplace into a real feature of the room — and our tiles play a starring role. 🤍🖤
With Halloween just around the corner, Sarah has given her non-working fireplace a suitably spooky makeover with skeletons, pumpkins and plenty of character. 🎃💀
But look beyond the Halloween styling and there’s a great tile design idea here that could work all year round…
✨ A classic chequerboard pattern creates impact across the hearth, while using one of the darker colours from the pattern to create a border with rectangular tiles gives the whole design a beautifully considered finish.
It’s a great example of how you can play with pattern, colour and tile format to create something much more individual than simply laying one tile throughout.
And, importantly, if you have a working fireplace, always check that the tiles you choose are suitable for use around heat and for your particular fireplace installation. 🔥
Thank you to Sarah for showing us just how much potential a fireplace hearth can have!
Would you go for a statement tiled hearth like this in your home — or would you keep it more understated? 👇
