Pick the Best Fireplace for Your Home
Before you decide the design and look of your fireplace, you need to consider the style and layout of your home. Determine where the fireplace will be installed and what aesthetic best suits your home. We also recommend determining whether you want a gas, wood, or electric fireplace. Each kind of fireplace can provide similar ambiance and warmth, but there are key differences to consider, including which will fit physically and visually in the space of your home.
Modern Minimalism
If you’re looking for something new and modern, minimalism is proving itself a timeless design trend for 2023. Fireplaces without frames or little to zero clearance leave a clean space for the flames. Gas and electric fireplaces tend to be the most minimalist. For example, Valor’s zero clearance fireplaces, like the L3, seamlessly integrate into your wall for a clean minimalism.
Going Traditional
Modern and minimalism doesn’t work for every person’s taste or house. Sometimes installing more traditional fireplace is perfect for creating your home’s cozy and luxurious center. Robust wood and stone elements create that timeless traditional look that are old fireplace staples. While the most traditional will be a classic wood-burning fire, like Napoleon’s High Country series, many gas fireplaces can recreate the traditional feel of a wooden fire. You can also take a different traditional route and go with fireplace design inspired by a specific period. For example, a Victorian design with marble and steel is elements is reminiscent of the 19th century and can give your home some additional elegance.
Classic and Cool
A popular trend of 2023 is bringing back the old in a new way. This blend of the classic and contemporary can create a timeless design that’s perfect for any season. These designs take certain classic fireplace elements while combining them with modern design practices and aesthetics. Stuv and Jotul are two companies that give time-tested manufacturing techniques a modern look in their unique and timeless fireplace and stove designs.
Central Fireplace Designs
We all typically think of fireplaces built into the wall. However, modern design trends and technologies allow for fireplaces to be installed in the center of a room or between two rooms. This allows for more friends and family to gather around a fire, recreating an outdoor layout indoors. These central fireplaces are perfect for homes with open floorplans. Central fireplaces can be closed with glass on all sides, leaving the fire visible from all angles. Some designs with special venting even allow the fire to be completely open. Whether covered in glass or open, this 2023 design trend will leave guests gasping in every season.
