a bit of window-shopping before buying the accessories. You can make a rough estimate of the

cost of the accessories by measuring the opening of the fireplace and the hearth. 2. You can

choose the accessories depending on whether you want an occasional fire or a frequent one or

whether you want an electric one or a gas log set. The fireplaces have the manufacturers name

and the model number. This makes it easier for you to choose accessories, as you already

know the fireplace specifics. 3. Choose the accessories keeping in mind your home architecture

and design. The accessories must complement the color of wall, the tones of furniture and the

palette of lamps and fixtures. In short choosing accessories is like choosing jewelry to go with

your party gown.
