We have touched on fireplaces as focal points several times, but it helps to have a visual guide. The following from House Beautiful is a gorgeous guide of cozy fireplaces that will work with any design.
Cool evenings make fires a must, even in summer. "There's a camping-out feel that's very attractive," designer Markham Roberts says of this living room in a Pacific Northwest home. At rafter height, galvanized-steel light fixtures with botanical cutouts, designed by the original architect James Cutler, cast a gentle glow on Douglas fir timbers. The custom corner table holds an antique vintner's bottle lamp from James Sansum Fine and Decorative Art — also the source for the African drum between the chairs — while a Cedric Hartman swing-arm lamp hits a classic modern note.
