Sea fans, or sea whips as they are sometimes known, often come in a variety of colors including red (as seen here), yellow and purple. The rich red of this sea fan is ideal as a decorative accent in a room which needs a little extra color or tonal contrasts. As I have found over the years, there is rarely anything to match or exceed the beauty of Mother Nature’s creations and this is certainly the case with this delightfully delicate looking red gorgonian with square base. You can read more about what sea fans actually are here: Gorgonians.

Great places to situate this red sea fan are numerous but some locations include on a dining table, a coffee table, a shelf in the bathroom or on a cabinet in the master bedroom. Alternatively, it can be placed on a hallway table and thus become a beautiful focus for visitors when entering your home. If you have a botanical or ocean themed interior, then this red gorgonian will make an excellent completing feature to round off the décor scheme. If you know of anyone who studies marine biology or botany and has an office or library at home, then this red sea fan will make a fabulous gift for their workspace.

One of the most important functions for any type of fireplace screen is safety. Sparks, ash and loose coals and logs can often fly or fall out into the room. Whilst this is not usually a problem when someone is present, it can be a danger if the room is empty if even for a few minutes. A fireplace screen is the perfect guard against such dangers and can be easily placed in front of the fire whenever you need to leave the room to make coffee, dinner or to visit the bathroom.

For a family with children, a screen like the rustic botanical fireplace screen will be a good safety barrier against the wandering fingers of toddlers. Flames are exciting flickering toys to little children and despite warnings, they can often find the fire irresistible. This isn’t such a problem if you have just one child but if you have a visiting group it can be a difficult thing to cope with. A screen will hide the fire and render it invisible to children’s eyes whilst still providing warmth to the room.

Lastly, a screen also provides a cover for the fireplace, especially for the next morning. Ash, soot and blackened wood are not usually visually attractive elements to a room in the morning daylight and so usually it’s best to keep the area hidden. A rustic screen like the one pictured will provided a lovely botanical accent as well as keeping hidden the unsightly remains and dust from the previous night’s fire.
