    Whether you’re refurbishing an original or building from scratch, a fireplace created from brick or stone is a solid choice that communicates rustic authenticity. Limestone, granite, marble, slate and travertine each lend a distinct personality to the environment. Natural stone is a beautiful choice that does require some extra care and maintenance, while brick is lauded for its proven longevity and durability. A wood fireplace is an elegant option, particularly in historic homes.

    Hearth Shape
    A fireplace with an extra long hearth is an interesting design choice that adds extra seating in your living space and denotes a modern attitude in any interior. A raised hearth is a classic and inviting look that emphasizes the fireplace as a central focal point.
