The fireplace is a centerpiece of the home for many. It provides heat, creates a family gathering point and improves a room’s aesthetics. For safe and pleasant fires, we recommend you own these 7 must-have fireplace accessories. Most of these accessories are available in a wide range of styles so you can find ones that complement your home’s decor.
1. Fireplace Screen
A fireplace screen is a great way to increase the safety of your hearth while adding a touch of style. These screens are made to protect your home by preventing sparks and embers from flying out of the fireplace. Choose a model that complements your decor and fits securely in front of your fireplace.
2. Fire Starters
Fire starters are a great way to quickly get your fire roaring without fussing with kindling or newspapers. They have been designed to safely and easily ignite wood fires, so you don’t have to wait for the heat on cold winter nights.
3. Fireplace Tools Set 
Every fireplace requires a set of sturdy, durable tools to keep the area clean and the fire burning. Make sure you have these essentials at hand whenever you have a fire roaring: a poker, tongs, a brush, bellows and a shovel.
4. Fire Extinguisher
Fire is unpredictable and having a functional fire extinguisher next to your fireplace is essential. You never know when a stray ember could fall on a flammable item nearby. Make sure you choose the appropriate class of extinguisher and learn how to use it properly.
5. Firewood Rack
A firewood rack provides an easily accessible place to store and display your logs. It helps keep them dry and ready to feed your fire. Some racks can convert into a carrier to help you transport your logs inside.
6. Fireplace Grate
A fireplace grate elevates your logs and allows air to circulate underneath promoting better combustion. This produces more heat and minimizes smoke. Choose a grate made of durable materials such as cast iron or steel, and ensure it is the right size for your fireplace.
7. Hearth Rug
What is more classic than a cozy rug by the fire? A hearth rug adds a decorative flourish while protecting your flooring from sparks, embers, ash and other debris. Choose a rug that is fire-resistant and easy to clean. Finally, make sure it is large enough to cover the area directly in front of the hearth.
