How much do we love the fireplace? A lot. The reasons? They are numerous. First of all, it is conceptually like a treehouse for adults (let’s not deny it), and then every fireplace, although always a unique piece, almost completes a room, making it coherent and exceptional.

And then it answers an age-old question. How do you create cozy, familiar, warm interiors with just one element? Considering that fireplaces literally warm the homes they are in, you and your guests will probably gather around it when the temperatures drop, thus creating a certain familiarity.

If you are looking for ways to update your fireplace or simply seeking some inspiration for winter design, we recommend taking notes: we will discuss everything from elegant aesthetics to more contemporary moods to unexpected ideas.

Ready for the winter dream?

White Marble Fireplace

Nothing is shinier than marble, especially if it’s white. When choosing a white marble fireplace, even in the bathroom, you should pay attention to the accessories in the room to enhance its features and try to lighten the atmosphere, perhaps using light wood floors.

The environment could also benefit from the presence of a soft velvet chair or another textured fabric, and a table in another significant material.

Green Fireplace

The marble fireplace will be so much in demand in 2020 that we want to offer it to you in another way. We love how this large fireplace is paired with the rug and the warm brown tones that pleasantly soften the whole, along with the bench and red velvet chairs. So, if you are looking to design a family-friendly living room ready for guests with a modern fireplace, consider this choice below.

Kitchen Fireplace

The perfect family kitchen should have plenty of space, large windows for natural light, and… did we mention it? Plenty of space. But if you want to take this dream to the next level, you should make the fireplace the emperor of the kitchen, as in the photo below. Wonderful.

Industrial Style Fireplace

As much as we love bold glass doors and the built-in bookshelf, we are immediately drawn to the industrial character fireplace below. The matte color works with the ceiling, and the sofa creates a less gloomy atmosphere along with the floor (truly stunning).

The whole ensemble, every feature, makes this living room the ideal place to relax.

New Look for the Fireplace

If you want your fireplace to look lighter, airier, and more modern without having to do major renovations, perhaps you should forgo classic tiles: paint it instead the same color as the surrounding walls. This way, it will blend perfectly with the rest of the environment: just add a simple mirror to accentuate the geometric shapes, along with some accessories (perhaps in ceramic) and plants to “soften” the whole.

Fireplace Idea

We told you at the beginning. Feel free to explore even slightly daring fireplace ideas. What do you think of this one? Your eyes are not deceiving you: the fireplace is entirely topped by a mirror. Not only does it make the room look bigger (perhaps it wasn’t needed, okay), but it’s practically impossible to ignore this splendid focal point as it captures light from every angle. This is a suggestion that perhaps, in a more restrained way, or maybe not, we invite you to consider.

What do you think of these ideas?

We are sure that our design and decoration ideas for fireplaces will transform any environment, even the bathroom, into a truly welcoming space.
