More than just a heat source, fireplaces nowadays have become the focus of living spaces, making them must-
haves for most home owners. However, picking the best fireplace and accessories from the endless brands and
devices available can be daunting. To help you make a choice, there's What's In Style Fireplaces. This book
reviews all the options available, including the latest trends and technologies, so you can design a stylish and
efficient system that's also a sound investment
Joanne Still, a product and design writer, breaks down her suggestions based on form and function: how your
fireplace will look and how it will heat the room. Vivid color photos illustrate fireplace styles and architectural
forms, as well as the detailing and accessories you can choose to complete the look. She also suggests how to
arrange furniture to take advantage of the heat and offers tips for creating decorative mantel displays and plac-
ing art on surrounding walls. And once your vision is clear, you can use her resource guide of manufacturers
and associations to start shopping.
