Mirrored Fireplace

Ethan Herrington

We love the space-doubling qualities of mirrors for small rooms. Why not bring the strategy to your fireplace? Studio Dorion covered this chimney breast in a Brooklyn home with mirrored panels, a look that transforms the antique fireplace into something edgy and fresh.

Beaded Fireplace

Beads aren’t just for your favorite bracelet. Here, in an Atlanta home, designer Jessica Davis brought the millegrain look to the plaster fireplace surround. We have a feeling this is a trend that’s bound to bubble up…

Muted Blue Fireplace

Sam Frost

Design power couple Jeremiah Brent and Nate Berkus certainly knew how to set the mood in this Montecito, California estate. They painted the entire living area—fireplace included!— in a dusty shade of blue. Try the monochrome strategy for yourself by using Portolo Paints’ Sirene shade.

Miguel Flores-Vianna

Sure you can paint your entire mantel, but why not view it as a creative canvas? Here, in an exuberant Aspen home with interiors by Patrick Mele, the fireplace features a whimsical classical design.

Crisp White Fireplace

Even if you’re the type to color way outside the lines as far as interiors are concerned, it’s smart to leave some blank space. In the case of this polychromatic New York home, designer Katie Ridder painted both the ceiling and fireplace in a crisp white, a move that keeps the maximalist look light.

Wainscot-Backed Fireplace

What could be cozier than a fireplace? A fireplace with wainscoting behind it! The designers at Istanbul-based firm Sanayi313 brought extra warmth to this stately sitting room via earthy plaster finishes and travertine floors.

Transform your chimney breast into a work of art via artful tiles or panels. In her New York showroom, designer Laura Gonzalez specified one that has the quality of an organic bas-relief artwork.

Extra-Large Mirror Fireplace

Stephan Julliard

You can hang a mirror over your fireplace or—if you’re as dramatic as Paris-based designer Sarah Dray—you can use a reflective surface to completely swallow your fireplace. This look’s taking “fireplace surround” quite literally.

Muted Fireplace

Muted can be mighty chic, as designer David Lucido proves in this soft-spoken Los Angeles home. By matching the fireplace to the cream-colored walls and choosing warming, tan hues for the floor and ceiling, you feel like you’re sandwiched inside the world’s most glamorous s’more.

Asymmetrical Fireplace

Matthieu Salvaing

This Ibiza home has a delightfully asymmetrical fireplace to fit the room’s idiosyncratic shape. Casa Munoz embraced these eccentricities by incorporating equally akimbo accessories. Nobody’s perfect, but this room comes pretty close, imho.

Black Tile Fireplace

Now here’s a look that brings the drama! In the remodel of a generic farmhouse, architect Frederick Tang gravitated towards striking contrast. So, working with his firm’s director of interiors, Barbara Reyes, he clad the entire fireplace in oblong black tiles. “At first the clients weren’t sure about redesigning the fireplace,” says Reyes, “but when they saw the possibility of what it could be they were super excited.”

Low-Slung Bedroom Fireplace

William Jess Laird

It’s always snuggle time in this cozy Long Island bedroom. Here, the peaked ceiling gives the feeling of being tucked into a rustic lodge while the low-slung inset fireplace brings the heat. Top it off with a painting by Lucy Dodd and you’ve got the sleeping space of your dreams.

Beaux-Arts Fireplace

Noe DeWitt

We can’t all live in a home as grand as this (it used to belong to newspaper tycoon Joseph Pulitzer) but we can certainly admire its wedding cake levels of decoration. Designer Jean Liu, the owner of this unbelievable pied-à-terre, leaned into the aesthetic of the original marble mantel a vintage bust and a pair of antique candlesticks.

Raspberry Marble Fireplace

Bold Breccia Arrabida marble? Check. Bold raspberry paint job? Check. This idea, courtesy Alton Bechara, leans into a maximalist mantel—and then some. “I told them that I really like pink,” the homeowner says. Dreams do come true!

15

Rustic Stone Fireplace

William Waldron

White is a color for all seasons, but it can be especially cozy in the wintertime. Photographer William Waldron leaned into winter whites in his Hudson Valley farmhouse by painting his stone fireplace in the bright hue. With the rustic timber ceiling overhead and the roaring flames, we couldn’t picture anything more inviting.

Green Painted Fireplace

Victoria Pearson

Want to enhance your fireplace without breaking the bank? Try painting the surround in an intriguing color. Here, designer Schuyler Samperton shows us how it’s done in a bohemian beach house. In this case, the fireplace got a rich coat of Farrow & Ball’s Studio Green.

Midcentury Cone Fireplace

in the center of a living room is a cone fireplace, various artworks on the wall behind it and books piled next to it, vintage wooden armchair and side table by a window, and a low slung leather lounge chair
Richard Powers

For a look as groovy as it is graceful, consider a cone fireplace, à la this corner in designer Carol Egan’s midcentury-modern dream house. Because it’s freestanding, this fireplace (which is original to the house) allowed Egan to create a bold gallery wall directly behind it.

Rustic Wood Mantel Fireplace

Stephen Kent Johnson

This Provincetown, Massachusetts, house began its life as a fishing shack, and its current owners wanted to maintain that seafaring history. In fact, the living room was modeled after a ship’s saloon, with its English Art Deco chairs and vintage wood mantel—a scheme that practically shouts “Ahoy, there!”

Reclaimed Fireplace

Annie Schlecter

This dining area, in the Brooklyn home of ELLE DECOR’s very own executive editor, Ingrid Abramovitch, proves the power of “reduce, reuse, recycle.” The period-perfect marble mantel was actually a salvage score.

Black Marble Fireplace

in the corner of the bedroom are two chairs with three seat cushions each, a small round marble topped pedestal table, a floor lamp with a globe shade, built in book shelves, and a black marble fireplace
Tim Lenz

Contemporary and cozy needn’t be mutually exclusive, as designer Augusta Hoffman expertly proves. In the primary bedroom of her own New York apartment, the sculptural black marble fireplace stands out against a caramel-colored wallcovering—textures and hues that match the adjacent 1940s Loro Piana–upholstered chairs.
