Books are a brilliant way to add both personality and visual interest to the space, without making your fireplace feel cluttered.
It’s important to note that, while almost any decoration is safe for an electric fireplace, you do need to be careful with a gas fireplace. This is because of the heat that the unit produces, which could damage fragile items. So, if you do have a gas fireplace, try to position your books at either end of the unit, away from the heat source.
