This photo by Carla Coulson is of the home of Vicki Archer, author and blogger at French Essence. The room is beautiful and the fireplace is is the crowning glory.

A simple and timeless setting. The scale and design of the stone fireplace is perfect in the space. Photo from 1st Dibs

I like the way the dark wood of the fireplace surround is the strong element in this setting of soft neutrals

Love this elegant room. The fireplace, furnishings, window treatments and styling are wonderful.

Beautiful European style and a blazing fire.

A mirrored fireplace from the great Elsie de Wolfe. Fireplace glam.

Fireplaces in bedrooms were once common place now they are more of glowing luxury.

Fireplace at Versailles, the grand daddy of them all.
Stay warm and close to your fireplace this winter if you are lucky enough to have one.
