Here are three tips for how to use your fireplace in the summer, from Greater Cincinnati’s leading chimney cleaning company:

  • Decorate Your Fireplace: Unused fireplaces can still add warmth to a room if you incorporate it into your décor.  Consider putting greenery, blooming flowers, or a collection of vases on display inside its inner hearth. Find a fireplace cover to give the effect of a walled-off space, or fill it with candles or an ornate candelabrum.
  • Use Your Fireplace For Storage: Most homeowners have small belongings that don’t easily fit anywhere, such as housewares. Turn your fireplace into a storage area while you work on decluttering or finding a better space for those items.
