"We had left the living room with no design because it was such an awkwardly shaped room. So it had no artwork, character, or focal point. The walls were painted a simple shade of white, with no molding, texture, or detail."
"Her main goal was to add more interest to the two main walls in the living room. One wall was completely bare, and the other had a few guitars hung up serving as decor. When considering ways to add more character to the room, Hana's mind was immediately set on building a custom fireplace."
"To create the fireplace from scratch, the first thing Hana did was build a frame. It's really important while building the frame to ensure that all your corners are square. Next, she attached the frame to the wall, then gave it some texture with faux brick."
"That came in a shade of red that didn't really go with Hana's style, so she painted it black to give the fireplace a more sophisticated look. Using a couple of different colors and layering them in an organic way helped the brick look a little more realistic. From start to finish, the fireplace took approximately two weeks."
A new-build living room lacked design, artwork, character, and a focal point, with plain white walls and no molding or texture. The goal was to add interest to two main walls, including one that was completely bare. A custom fireplace became the central project to create a familiar, memory-making feature. The fireplace was built from scratch by constructing a square frame, attaching it to the wall, and adding faux brick texture. The faux brick was originally a red shade, then painted black for a more sophisticated look. Layering different colors helped the brick appear more realistic, and the project took about two weeks to complete.
