There is no right or wrong when it comes to fireplace tools. Some like the full set, some like only a couple pieces, and others go for more complex options. You could add a wood holder on the side. If you have a brick fireplace, you might try hanging a broom on the side for a nice country or rustic look.
One of the most popular choices is the vintage iron finish. You will find them in most fireplace stores as well as on the internet. These tool sets have unusual designs that fit in with any décor. Therefore, whether the room is contemporary, country, or art deco, this particular set will look great. Typically, the vintage fireplace tool sets are made from hand-forged iron. Other options for fireplace tool sets include the log holder to hold logs waiting to be burned.
It used to be that you had a fireplace and a standard set of tools sitting on your hearth. Fireplaces have come a long way in design. Many people choose to use only one or a couple of the tools rather than the entire set. It is all a matter of preference based on your specific needs.
