What To Do With Your Fireplace This Summer
Santa won't be coming down the chimney for months, but the fireplace can still be a focal point. Here are some warm weather decor ideas.
Baby, it's hot outside, and the last thing we want is to listen to the fireplace roar. Summer nights should be cool and breezy, but that doesn't mean you have to forget about the fireplace.
Instead of staring at dusty old logs all season long, why not switch in some seasonal decor? We rounded up a few easy options to get you inspired.
First up, a nifty candelabra, like the candelabra from SEI pictured above. It holds nine candles (not included — but there are several sets of flameless LED candles available) and is made of metal with a black matte finish. This works well as a standalone piece, but you could also jazz it up for summer by adding some sea glass, shells or other beach-themed decor.

Another great summer option is this faux log set from Plow & Hearth. You can actually burn five tea light candles in this display, but for simplicity and safety's sake we'd recommend getting the same glow with flameless LED tea lights.

Don't want faux or real flames burning? This unique screen turns an empty fireplace into an asset in an instant. Its bronze and gold design fits well with summer hues but could easily transition into a display piece used in cooler months as well.
Dragonflies sure make us think of summer, and this seasonal screen gives the fireplace a fun and festive feel. There's a large and small version available to fit your particular fireplace size.
