In her century\u2011old condo, with exposed concrete ceilings and beautiful large windows, Daphn\u00e9 imagined a warm and comforting spot \u2014 a place where the light would dance, even without real flames. A DIY fireplace<\/strong> designed as a grounding moment in the room, a small refuge.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s exactly what she created.<\/p>\n With leftover wood, carefully chosen candles, and the perfect tile selection, she built a corner that feels entirely like her: soft, calming, and full of character.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u00ab I could already picture a massive Christmas tree\u2026 and a faux fireplace right beside it. \u00bb<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n Even before she moved in, she had the entire scene in mind. But once she placed the vintage fireplace mantle she had found, the proportions didn\u2019t work at all. Too small, too odd in the space.<\/p>\n \u00ab So I ended up building my own structure with materials I already had at home. \u00bb<\/i><\/i>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n What truly defines this DIY fireplace<\/strong> is the tile choice. Daphn\u00e9 chose the Cosy Cottage tile<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, with its handcrafted look and soft texture.<\/p>\n \u00ab I fell in love with two tiles in the store. I finally went with the one that felt the most timeless and subtly charming. \u00bb<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n A thoughtful crush that gives the fireplace a chic, authentic look and that blends beautifully with her condo\u2019s raw yet refined aesthetic.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”79092″ img_size=”2000 x 1500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n No functional fireplace? No problem. Daphn\u00e9 chose candles<\/strong> to stand in for the flame.<\/p>\n \u00abThe dancing light of the candles creates a nearly magical atmosphere. \u00bb<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n She plays with height, colors, and shapes. The result becomes a gentle, hypnotic display, especially as evening falls. Proof that a DIY fireplace can add warmth without actual heat.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u00ab My dad told me about La Tuilerie a long time ago. I\u2019ve been going back ever since. \u00bb<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n What makes her stay? The attentive service, the range of unique tile collections, and the quality of advice even when things get a bit technical.<\/p>\n \u00ab They helped me so much\u2014even with a more complex heated flooring system. I always feel like they really listen. \u00bb<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n An easy collaboration, like we love to experience!<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”79088″ img_size=”2000 x 1500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\u00ab It\u2019s my favorite spot in the whole condo. \u00bb<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n The mix of tile, microcement, soft light and custom woodwork makes this space feel calm<\/strong>, balanced<\/strong>, and simply peaceful<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u00ab I won’t be able to take this fireplace with me If I move one day\u2026 but I know I\u2019ll build something like it again. \u00bb<\/i>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1761733853828{background-color: #f0f7ef !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”79096″ img_size=”1000 x 1000″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”44px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Daphn\u00e9 Morin is a design enthusiast drawn to natural textures, soft light, and spaces that feel intentional.
