When implementing large amounts of marble, you should consider the direction of the veins and where they will be going. For example, if the veins look more like splodges from a small distance, then your lovely new fireplace might look more sooty than regal \u2013 even when it\u2019s perfectly clean.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When used correctly, a marble fireplace can be extremely effective in the home. It is a material that can be manipulated to create both traditional and modern looks with great success.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>&nbsp;<img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3642\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/iStock-859825494-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Marble fireplace in a vast living room with panelled floor, joined with bright kitchen\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/iStock-859825494-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/iStock-859825494-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/iStock-859825494-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/> <img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3643\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/iStock-956894684-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage bathroom in classic space with old fireplace and parquet floor, modern interior design\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/iStock-956894684-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/iStock-956894684-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/iStock-956894684-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/iStock-956894684.jpg 1470w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Bright White<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A bright white fireplace can be difficult to keep looking pristine, but it is well worth the cleaning for its beauty.

You can tile the entire fireplace, the front, or a simple band along the top depending on your choice of tile. A simple tile may effectively cover the entire fireplace to make a statement, but the bolder the tile design, the more likely that tiling the entire fireplace will produce an aggressive image.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another benefit of a tiled fireplace is that they are easy to clean so you can keep your fireplace looking nice and tidy without too much effort.<\/p>\n<p><center><a data-pin-do=\"embedPin\" data-pin-width=\"medium\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/196891814946728519\/\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Organic Materials<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sustainability is more than just important for ensuring that future generations are able to grow up in a clean environment, it\u2019s also very fashionable.

These fireplaces are typically placed in the centre of a room or between an open plan kitchen and living room as this is where their near 360-degree viewing is most efficient and graceful. Alternatively, you can use glass to add another angle to your fireplace, as shown in the image below:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3651\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realflame.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/iStock-1082464602-1024x732.jpg\" alt=\"3d illustration.
