Some cool stone fireplace ideas for you!


Are you thinking of what designs to choose to make your fireplace a statement and centerpiece of your home? If you are looking for some cool and innovative ideas, then you have come to the right place. Stone fireplaces are a great choice for any home. They provide a sense of exclusivity to your home and they are also rather affordable. Given that a fireplace is a focal point of a room, you will want to make sure it portrays exactly what you need in your home design. Here are a few great options of fireplaces to choose from.

1.    Travertine Fireplace
Travertine Fireplaces have been a favorite choice in Tudor and rustic style homes. Travertine, like other stone, is durable, heat resistant and non-combustible. This material can withstand changes in temperature - allowing the fireplace to be lit for extended periods of time. Travertine also boasts naturally occurring veining patterns and crystallization, adding a great degree of beauty to home design. This stone in particular also has a vintage look given its earthy tones and constant variation. Since travertine is readily available, it’s an excellent choice for a unique, cost-effective, yet stunning fireplace mantel.

2.    Precast Fireplace:
Precast fireplaces are another good option for material for your mantel. Pre-cast fireplaces are preferable to site-cast products because you will have a ready to assemble mantel, as opposed to one that needs to be plastered on-site. Pre-cast material is highly versatile and gives many great options in home design, especially when it comes to fireplace design. A major advantage of pre-cast is the ability to choose color and texture to fit your design needs. You can also select the size of the fireplace. This material gives you a great degree of flexibility in customizing the size of the mantel and other design features.



3.    Cast Stone Fireplace Surrounds:
If you are looking for a stone fireplace, cast stone fireplace surrounds are an option to consider as well. Cast stone mantels will not limit you in designing exactly the right fireplace you need. This material can easily accommodate clean lines and geometric shapes, as well as detailed carving of floral, shell and leafy patterns similar to those found in French palace design. Cast stone also allows for the selection of particular colors and textures that work perfectly with your style and color pallet.

Hopefully, this has provided you with some cool ideas that will help you design a new or existing fireplace surround. Impact your space to the maximum with these suggested material and design options. And, while you’re at it, you can also save some money with attractive, budget friendly suggestions for your fireplace surround.
