Fireplace Designs for your home

Want to see picture of fireplace ideas?  With modern advances in technology, fireplace designs are no longer a requirement in the home.  Rather, a decorative feature in a home that the owners have chosen to heat in a certain way. The joy of the beautiful fireplace designs are that the provides a central point for families to gather around and communicate, a space that brings warmth and light into the home, and a great way to add a central design feature to your living room.

Custom fireplace designs are more present in traditional homes, where they were a necessity for ventilation and heat, which is why they are a rare find in newly built homes. In some older home, existing fireplaces are no longer functional, but after chimneys have been closed, the fireplaces remain as a stunning visual feature in the living room.

Fireplace Ideas

There are a ton of fireplace ideas that will give your home a unique look and feel.  There are many materials that can be used to create a wonderful fireplace design. Traditional materials such as brick and stone will bring a rough and classic style, almost rustic, into any living room. The selection of colors and styles is almost endless, with varying size bricks making fireplaces of varying heights and widths. You’ll find that many older fireplaces will be made from natural materials like stone, for their sturdiness, simplicity, and timeless style.

Wood is another great fireplace idea, but only as a decorative surrounding feature – a fire retardant material is key for function and safety! Marble and granite surrounds are another option, which can bring a real sense of glamour and luxury into your living room. The reflective surface will diffuse the light and create a shining and sparkling backdrop for your fire that grabs your attention and brings more light into your home.

Modern fireplace ideas can also come equipped with stylish and safe casing. Often fronted with clear glass, the casing will prevent any burning smells or smoke from entering your living room, but won’t limit the warmth and light you want the fire to bring to your living room. More traditional fires can use the classic equivalent of a metal fireguard.

Low fireplace designs which begin from the floor or just a little higher, are great space saving solutions. The space above is often used for hanging decorative items such as clocks, artwork, or photographs.

A stunning fireplace design can be a fantastic feature in homes of any size and age, with more immense design choice available than ever before. Take a look at these awe-inspiring examples of how to make a fireplace work in your home:
