4. Cozy Fireside Companion
An empty fireplace hearth during the warmer months can look cold and neglected, but it presents the perfect canvas for creative styling. Position a cluster of oversized, rustic demijohn bottles or vintage glass carboys filled with voluminous pampas grass plumes right next to the hearth. The organic curves of the glass vessels combined with the wild, sprawling nature of the grass soften the hard angles of brick or stone fireplaces. This styling choice bridges the gap between seasons, bringing a cozy, fireside warmth to your living room even when the fire isn’t lit. It creates a cozy reading nook vibe when paired with a nearby leather armchair and a chunky knit throw.
