Fireplace Accessories to Enhance Function and Style

Fireplace accessories complete both the look and functionality of your hearth. From grates and toolsets to mantels and spark guards, this category helps you choose items that improve safety, maintenance and aesthetics for wood, gas or electric fireplaces.

What to prioritise when buying accessories

Select accessories that match your fireplace type and room decor while meeting safety requirements. Heat-resistant materials and stable bases are important for tools and trivets. Screens and spark guards reduce ember escape, and proper log storage keeps fuel dry and accessible. Consider sizes and clearances when choosing mantels and surrounds.

Common accessories and practical uses

• Toolsets — tongs, pokers and brushes help maintain efficient burning and safe operation.
• Screens and guards — essential for preventing sparks and protecting children or pets.
• Grates and log baskets — improve airflow and burn efficiency for solid fuels.
• Mantels and surrounds — add architectural character but ensure suitable heat clearance.
• Hearth rugs and ash containment — protect flooring and simplify cleanup.

Keep fire safety in mind and choose durable finishes that resist heat and soot. Clearance items and customer returns can offer value for feature pieces like decorative screens or mantels, but inspect finishes and mounting hardware to ensure safe installation.
