Fireplace Design in the Home

By September 11, 2023No Comments

With fall just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about the cozy weather and what that means for home designs. There’s plenty of ways to get cozy in the cooler weather, but one of the most tried and true pastimes is getting comfy by the fire. 

The fireplace is central to any home, not only adding a beautiful architectural element to any room, but also providing an important function during the cold seasons. And while the fireplace started from humble beginnings hundreds of years ago, its design has come a long way. Here are the latest trends for your home fireplace to consider this fall. 

 

Victorian Fireplaces

The period or Victorian fireplace is making a comeback. Whether it’s nostalgia for older homes with plenty of character or because these detail-oriented builds are simply beautiful, this timeless trend will certainly add a statement to the room. From ornate designs and intricate tiles to cast-irons and tall, striking mantles, a Victorian fireplace is a beautiful added feature and will certainly keep you cozy. 

 

Wall Mounted Fireplaces 

For an ultra-modern spin on the fireplace, a wall mounted, electric fire is a great option. These sleek designs are minimal and take up less space than a traditional fireplace. Plus, they’re easy to install and operate. Say goodbye to lugging chopped wood inside, or tampering to get the fire just right. A wall-mounted fireplace gives you the perfect fire, instantly. 

 

Built-In Fireplaces 

There’s building it against the wall. There hanging it on the wall. But, there’s even a third option: put it inside the wall. Built-in fireplaces are coming in hot for home design trends. With clean lines and seamless integration into your home’s architecture, what’s not to love? From built-in corners to elegant horizontal to stunning double-sided fireplaces, these built-in features are absolute show-stopper. 

 

No matter which fireplace you prefer, you’re sure to be cozied up with any option you choose. Grab your softest blanket, your most delicious tea and a favorite book. Fall season is almost officially upon us!
