Picture Frame Fireplace Screens
"Fireplace Art Is As Near As Your Hearth..."
Most home decorators remain ignorant of the new designs and advances in fireplace screen art.
Picture frame fireplace screens are fast replacing the old wire mesh or glass door screens of the past.
The picture frame fireplace screens are designed to be a work of art, more than a fire prevention tool.
This development was born in the revolution that saw electric and gas fireplaces being installed in areas for their beauty and elegance, more than their need for warmth and function.

Hundreds of Designs
Decorative fire screens come in more than five hundred designs and styles. The industry has boomed to bring out new designs and styles to match the home decorating schemes used in today's homes.
It is still possible to find an antique style, or even a stained glass screen to accommodate a reproduction room. In fact, picture frame fireplace screens are often made to accommodate both the old and reproductions, and the new and modern.
One good example is the iris firescreen. This example of a popular design in decorative fire screens has been modified to satisfy both the old and the new. It comes in two styles.
Fireplace Tool Set Do you have a fireplace tool set? Don't fool yourself; it is an essential accessory that is often overlooked. That's a fire inside of your home! It is very important that you have the proper tools to safely control that fire. Your tool set should also be a decorative addition your room and compliment your fireplace.
Iridescent Glow
The first style of iris firescreen is a stained glass pattern. The jewel like pieces of blue, green, and white glass are held together with a pewter like metal, a perfect imitation of a stained glass window. The flame catches on the Chrystal like panes of glass, reflecting iridescent lights around the room.
The modern decorative fire screens are a dramatic decorating tangent from the classic styles. This stark contracts is vividly expressed in the iris firescreen design. The modern style depicts an abstract water painted style of iris.
The glowing hues of blue and greens blend together in a captivating cascade of color. There is no metal to separate the colors.
Non-Traditional Construction
Decorative fire screens have evolved even more than common sense would dictate. Now that firescreens are created to be artistic instead of functional, the designs are incorporating non-traditional construction elements like wood and candles.
The stained wood is flammable, and should never be used when the fireplace is operational. This is not a problem. Today's fireplaces are rarely heated to a level that might burn people who are sitting close.
Today's homes are usually not heated with wood. Wood and even gas fireplaces are only meant as an auxiliary form of heat. This is why picture frame fireplace screens have taxed both designers and artists creativity to the limit. Don't overlook the fact that in some areas the heater fireplace is common and needs consideration.
The wonderful element of decorative fire screens is their utility and versatility. Even a novice home decorator can find a picture frame fireplace screen that will serve to hide a heater or gas fireplace, and double as the room's focal point. This makes selecting a fireplace screen a pleasure instead of a decorating nightmare. Don't forget the classic fireplace screens copper....
It's so easy to breath new life into a room by adding a beautiful fireplace screen,
