A fireplace is often considered an element of class and elegance and it’s also the detail that makes a home feel warm and comfortable. It inevitably draws attention and serves as a focal point in the décor. There are several design types of fireplaces and the classification is usually based on material as well as on design.

Stone Fireplaces.

Surround your fireplace with stone and let it meet the ceiling to create drama and also to accentuate the height of the room or make a stone fireplace the focal point if you want to highlight the inviting character of the room. Stone can also be used to create contrasts and can be used in combination with wood for a harmonious design.

A stone fireplace tends to have a more rustic look and it brings out the coziness in a room. The choice of natural materials makes it stand out as an eye-catching feature. Usually, stone fireplaces don’t match a highly modern or a contemporary space. They are more suitable for rustic-looking homes. Nevertheless, there’s also the option of having a faux stone fireplace which is a little more versatile.

Modern Fireplaces.

Modern fireplaces offer you the possibility to use them as accent pieces for a space. They come in a variety of unusual and intriguing forms and designs and they’re easy to integrate in pretty much any space. This makes them really versatile but it also means more research is necessary before finding the right design.

Modern fireplaces don’t have much in common with the traditional ones except for the warmth and comfort they add to a room. In some cases that’s purely symbolic. In modern and contemporary homes, fireplaces are not just a décor or architecture element you see in the living room. They are also used in some more untraditional spaces such as the bathroom for example.

Floating Fireplaces.

Opt for a floating fireplace if you want more flexibility. Unlike the traditional types, these fireplaces also feature less robust designs, which makes them a wonderful option for smaller spaces. A floating fireplace hanging from the ceiling can add drama to a room but it can also go unnoticed.

Although fireplaces built into the wall are the most common and popular, they’re not the only type. Floating fireplaces are quite interesting too. They sit suspended from the ceiling and they’re a wonderful option for spaces with high ceilings or for double-height rooms. The advantage of having such a fireplace is that you can place anywhere you want, even in the center of a room.

Metal Fireplaces.

It’s more difficult to integrate a metal fireplace in a home unless the design also features metal accents. On the other hand, however, metal fireplaces are just what an industrial home needs to look complete. They’re one of those things that not everyone gets so it takes a special someone to find a metal fireplace perfect for their home.

Unless we’re talking about modern or contemporary designs, metal fireplaces are not exactly common or popular. They don’t have the same warmth as stone fireplaces for example but they present other characteristics. For example, a metal fireplace integrates well in a décor with an industrial feel. It can also look well in a rustic environment, depending on the texture of the metal.

Wood Paneled Fireplaces.

It seems a bit ironic to cover a fireplace in wood. In the case of modern fireplaces that no longer use wood as fuel, this is an attempt to bring back that warmth traditional designs used to offer. It’s also an opportunity to combine contrasting materials such as wood and brick.

Wood paneled fireplaces are particularly interesting because they are covered in the same material used for making them function. Of course, in the case of modern fireplaces that’s no longer true but still, it’s an interesting concept. Wood paneled fireplaces have a particularly elegant look and they can feature different styles according to the patina they have, the color, the shape and other details.

Fireplace Room Dividers.

Fireplace room dividers combine two wonderful elements in one design. Opt for such a feature if you have an open floor plan and you want to gain a bit of privacy in the living room or if you think a fireplace would look awesome both in the living room and the dining area.

A fireplace is the perfect feature to integrate in a room divider or a wall divider. It’s an option that gives you the possibility to have a fireplace which can be seen and enjoyed from two separate spaces. Usually such a structure in used to separate the kitchen and the living room areas and it’s not a complete wall but rather a portion of it.

Corner Fireplaces.

A lot of different types of fireplaces can be placed in the corner, including the traditional ones. Freestanding fireplaces are easier to adapt to such a space while other types require more planning and effort.

Because usually the corners of a room are not used for anything and they remain empty spaces, a great option can be to have a corner fireplace. This way you use that area for something practical and beautiful and you also save space elsewhere by eliminating the need for extra room for the fireplace. Also, the room gets an interesting shape and becomes less monotonous.

Scandinavian Fireplaces.

Even though Scandinavian fireplaces can feature a large number of different designs and shapes, they’re all easy to distinguish from all the other types. This has something to do with their simplicity. It takes a special kind of interior décor to accommodate such a fireplace, whatever design it may feature.

Scandinavian fireplaces are quite different from any other type of fireplaces. They have rather unusual designs and this makes them stand out. One of the most common designs is the cylindrical one, although conical designs are also popular. This makes Scandinavian fireplaces perfect for placing in the corner of the room.

Outdoor Fireplaces.

Make an outdoor fireplace the main attraction for the yard. Organize a comfy seating area around it so everyone can see the fireplace and enjoy the warmth and you have the perfect setting for evening gatherings.

Outdoor fireplaces are quite different than those designed for the interior. First of all, they can be much bigger than an indoor fireplace because the restrictions of space are not the same ones as for the interior. Also, the designs of outdoor fireplaces have certain distinct characteristics. But it’s best if we just analyzed a few examples.
