However, the fireplace is often the center of the home, especially during the colder months, and a fireplace update can add style to the entire room. If your fireplace is looking a little outdated, perhaps it\u2019s time to give it a fabulous facelift!<\/p>\n

Before You Begin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t waste your time doing all this work only to discover that you can\u2019t use your new fireplace! Avoid the heartbreak and schedule a CSIA certified inspection<\/a> to identify potential structural and safety issues before any work begins. Doctor Flue, inc. will ensure your fireplace is ready to enjoy when the dust settles.<\/p>\n

Fabulous Fireplace Update\u00a0Ideas<\/h2>\n

To decide what kind of fireplace update would be best for you, consider the type of style and mood you want to add to your home. If you\u2019re living in an older house, natural, earthy, and cozy fireplace designs will compliment your home\u2019s aesthetic, while newer homes can benefit from a modern or artsy design. Use these tips to get started:<\/p>\n

To bring the feeling of the outdoors into your home, consider installing a natural wood mantle with a raw stone surround. Choose materials that complement the existing space and connect with your style, be it raw and rugged or warm and sophisticated. For rooms that bring in natural light, this organic look will welcome you into the space and transform your mind and soul.<\/p>\n

3. Earthy<\/strong><\/p>\n

To achieve an earthy aesthetic, go for a stone mantel with a ceramic tile surround. Incorporate reclaimed tile or decorated Pewabic gift tiles<\/a> for a local touch. Line the shelf with pieces of Mark Nafziger’s hand-crafted pottery<\/a> or other handcrafted clay pieces. This look will leave you emotionally charged and rejuvenated.<\/p>\n

4. Cozy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Cozy<\/a><\/p>\n

Designed by Habitat Studio<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re after a warm and inviting cozy room, consider adding library build ins to your surround and filling the shelves with books, colorful vases, and treasured family photos in various styles and sizes. Careful, though; once you sit down, you won\u2019t want to get back up!<\/p>\n

5. Modern<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to bring more updated and modern elegance into your home, installing a stainless steel fireplace surround will help you do just that. Pairing especially well with darker stone or wooden walls, stainless steel adds a sleek touch that also nicely reflects other decorative touches in the room.<\/p>\n

6. Artsy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"An<\/a><\/p>\n

Designed by Rookwood<\/a><\/p>\n

For a room as creative as you are, use art and installation tiles from Motawi Tileworks<\/a> or similar tiles for a surround that makes a statement. Position a few lively paintings, sculptures, and blown glass from local arts and crafts fairs to direct the eye around the piece.<\/p>\n

Another great way to decide which type of fireplace facelift you want for your home is to choose a color scheme and go searching for art, craft, and photography pieces that reflect the style you wish to incorporate, then design your new fireplace around them. With a bit of planning, you can have a gorgeous fireplace and surround that truly compliments the style of your home.<\/p>\n
