Fabulous Fireplaces Heat Up the Modern Home

Forget the wintery weather and get cozy! We’re big fans of glossy and chic modern design (think clean lines and sudden bits ). But just because a room is modern doesn’t mean it can’t be warm and inviting.

These two bedrooms have been grounded by a fabulous fireplace layout. A fireplace adds warmth to a room and creates an ideal spot for gathering and entertaining. Additionally, it functions as a focal point for the room. Create comfortable seating areas that confront the fireplace to make the most of the room. The majority of these designs are custom, but lots of the ideas are readily adapted for any dwelling, at any price point.

A large fireplace is given equilibrium as a result of a large, picture printing by Polly Apfelbaum. The minimalist additions to the mantel include a fabulous pop of colour.

This statement-making fireplace was custom made and designed by Concretework’s Mark Rogero. The steel-and-concrete fireplace reflects light in the 36 dangling Bocci pendants in the neighboring dining room, and the flickering glow in the fire offers warm illumination.

Allow the fireplace produce ambiance. Install inexpensive dimmers to overhead lights. When the fire is lit, then dim the lights to allow the room glow.

This space was a collaboration between California designer Erin Martin and SB Architects. A massive fireplace creates an inviting space to sit back and relax.

Should you decide on a massive fireplace surround, then incorporate other pieces that also have weight but are simple and can balance the attention-grabbing element.

We love this home, made by Berkeley, California, architect David Wilson. This customized fireplace, such as so a lot of our favorites, was created by Concreteworks, a fabrication and design company in Oakland, California. The rustic sensibility of this hearth balances the streamlined elements throughout the rest of the open living room.
