Fireplace designs that give you a warm feeling

Fireplaces get a lot of attention during the winter months, and if you’ve noticed that yours isn’t making you feel warm and cozy anymore, it may be time for a remodel. Let’s look at some of the most popular fireplace trends heading into the new year.

Minimalist Style

Sometimes less is more! The minimalist trend has been prominent in home design in 2022 and will continue into the new year and beyond. Clean, simple spaces have been proven to improve your mood and relieve stress, so why not bring that sense of serenity to your fireplace design?

For a minimalist fireplace design, you can go with a flush-mounted fireplace – it doesn’t get much simpler! The straightforward design allows the flames from the fire to be the focal point to create a calm space. When the fireplace isn’t in use, it blends into the wall.

Marble fireplace design for a clean modern minimalist look

If I had to bet on a material that will never go out of style, it’s marble. For many, marble is the peak of luxury and elegance. While marble can be used in many places around your home, it looks stunning around a fireplace.

For a timeless, elegant look, you should consider a marble fireplace surround paired with a white mantle. For a more modern, show-stopping look, you could install floor to ceiling marble around your fireplace. 

Mosaic Fireplace Designs

Using Mediterranean-inspired mosaic tiles on your fireplace is the perfect addition to a boho-chic space. We love pairing abstract tiles with a big, dark wood mantle where you can display antique candle sticks and vases. This type of fireplace is great in smaller spaces since it can still be light and airy while giving the space some character.

Fireplaces That Blend In

If you like the current “moody home” trend that has been getting a lot of attention on social media, this is the fireplace design for you. Having your fireplace match the surrounding walls will make a statement without being overly flashy. Bright, bold colors are very in at the moment, and this includes fireplace design.

To get this look, you can use tile or stones that are the same color as your wall to create a fireplace that blends in but still has texture. This can be done in a bold, moody blue or green color if you want to create a dramatic space or simple whites or grays for something more subdued.

Rustic Fireplaces

Depending on the style of your home, a rustic fireplace will bring the space together and be the perfect focal point. The pairing of light stone with a dark fireplace will give you a rustic look without looking dated. Better yet, you could also install a white fireplace with light stone will still give you a rustic feel but is a little bit more modern.
