Summer Fireplace Decorating is one of the many ways to use your fireplace as a salute to summer. Or, use it as an area to show off sentimental seasonal decor.

Keep that flicker of fire in your fireplace without the heat. Just because the weather is warm, your fireplace does not have to be a dormant! Use summer scented candles, such as honeysuckle or lilac in your fireplace tealight. Try Lavender herb, or Lemon grass oils to extend the delights of the time of year.

Let your fireplace provide the frame for a tropical haven vignette when summer rolls around. Display large seashells and glass fishing balls—some perched on white candleholders to give them height. The adventurous might put them on a base of rippling white sand.

Fill an even number of pastel colored pales with sand. Then, add white votive candles. This will fill your living space with light and a breezy summertime style. Draping tiny white Christmas lights in and around the candle buckets will add a more impressive look.

Pull out your photos of fun family times camping, hiking or enjoying the ocean. Purchase matching white picture frames and display all your precious family photos from past summer vacations. Try enlarging several of the best shots and arranging the rest of the photos in an attractive and cheery display. Displaying these photos of pleasant times spent during the summer will not only bring back warm memories, but will also provide superb conversation piece for guests.

Fill a wicker or metal fireside basket with a ivy plant to add a touch of nature. Let the ivy hang onto the hearth to keep the look informal.
