"With the weather getting rainier and cooler in many parts of the country, It's finally starting to feel like fireplace season - one of my favorite parts of October through March-ish. One problem? I don't have a fireplace."
"What I currently do is turn on the yule log background on my apartment TV and light a bunch of candles (including a crackly one) to create a similar vibe, and it's actually shockingly atmospheric. But I could take it one step further and DIY a fireplace facade, like these nine DIYers."
"These nine faux fireplace ideas from Apartment Therapy's archives give cozy fireplace vibes to renters and homeowners alike - no gas line or chimney necessary."
Nine faux fireplace projects provide cozy, firelike ambiance for cooler, rainier months without a gas line or chimney. Options suit both renters and homeowners and range from temporary setups to semi-permanent facades. Simple approaches include playing a yule log video and arranging candles, including crackling-scented varieties, to mimic hearth warmth. More involved DIYs build a fireplace surround, mantle, or electric insert using common materials and basic tools. Designs emphasize atmosphere over heat while maintaining rental-friendly reversibility where needed. These ideas enable seasonal transformation of living spaces with minimal renovation and expense.
