Cozy up this cold season with these stylish and innovative fireplace concepts
In the world of interior design, fireplaces are no longer confined to traditional settings. Today, they're making a bold statement in ultra-modern apartments, blending seamlessly with clean, monochrome palettes.
One such example is the integration of a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, a feature that exudes charm and adds a touch of rustic elegance.
For those living in older buildings where open fireplaces were removed in the 1960s and 1970s, there's a growing interest in special tiles designed to modernise and integrate these spaces. Unfortunately, as of now, no specific companies have been identified in the search results that offer such solutions.
For those seeking a more sleek and contemporary look, consider a glass-fronted fireplace. These models not only provide a real flame but also offer a relaxing experience while soaking in the bath, transforming the bathroom into a spa-like retreat.
Floating fireplaces, suspended from the ceiling and positioned almost anywhere in a room, are another popular choice. As long as they're attached to a strong joist, they can be placed almost anywhere, adding a touch of modernity to any space.
Brick fireplaces, whether exposed or panelled, continue to be a favourite. An exposed brick fireplace with a pale brick archway and a plain black grate exudes charm, while a Tudor-style panelled fireplace surround can be updated with a wash of Mid Azure Green paint, creating a cosy, deep teal atmosphere.
Pairing thin brick slips in a fishbone pattern on the hearth with the traditional brick pattern on the fireplace adds a modern vibe to a classic fireplace. This combination creates a stunning visual effect, making the fireplace a statement piece in the room.
Ornate marble fireplaces can also look contemporary when paired with a bold shade. Farrow and Ball's Red Earth or a dramatic cobalt blue, for instance, can bring a touch of the avant-garde to these traditional pieces.
Lastly, polished concrete fireplaces offer an industrial luxe appeal with their cool grey tones and silky surface. They can cosy up an open-plan space in a modern apartment, providing a perfect balance between modernity and warmth.
Whether you're looking to add a touch of rustic charm, a dash of contemporary flair, or a hint of industrial luxe, a fireplace can be more than just a heating solution. It can be a statement piece that transforms your space.
