  • Hot Ideas for the Hearth: Custom Fireplace Designs

    As autumn settles in, the age-old custom of gathering around a glowing fire becomes ever more appealing. The fireplace in your home can be a conversational centerpiece with the right application of design skill and imagination. Your fireplace should reflect the overall look and feel of your home, whether traditional, modern, or somewhere in between. Here are some options to consider when you’re planning a custom fireplace design for your home:

    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.
