Finding just the right fireplace accessory for your living room or family room can be a lot of fun! Fireplaces warm a room beautifully and an open wood fire can add a touch of ambiance to your room like no other. Decorative fireplace screens come in all shapes and sizes, and there are no two fireplaces alike. If you choose a fireplace screen that has one single panel, these are usually the easiest to fit flat across the fireplace in a straight line. Fireplace screens that have more than one panel will probably have a more curved effect to the screen. All you have to do is measure your fireplace width and add 10 to 12 inches, then measure the height and add three to 5 inches for a proper measurement.

Adding this extra width and height will allow enough fold to keep the screen from tipping over. Comparing your dimensions to the ones listed by the manufacturer is important when it comes to sizing decorative fireplace screens. Remember that both width and height are important for any fireplace screen and you will need complete coverage for maximum safety and protection.

Picking just the right fireplace ensemble has never been easier than when shopping on the Internet. Many merchants offer a wide range of fireplace screens along with a full compliment of other fireplace components to choose from. Remember that safety is important and if you find a beautiful screen, toolset, and log holder, don't just purchase them on aesthetic appeal alone. Selecting decorative fireplace screens is fun and you will have many to choose from including wrought iron, copper, white enamel and more. Many online merchants carry hundreds of different styles to fit everyone
