5 inspiring fireplace designs for 2021
A fireplace is always a cozy addition to your space, whether you’re building a home or a commercial office space. The right modern fireplace design can provide a stunning centerpiece to the room.
If you’ve been considering adding a fireplace to your home or office, below are some of the biggest trends in 2021. Whichever design you prefer, talk to a fireplace designer and installation professional about what you’re looking for so they can help make your dreams a reality.
Frameless Fireplaces
Indoor linear was a highly sought-after item in 2020 and is still a growing trend in 2021. After you see a frameless gas or wood fireplace glow in a room, it’s easy to grasp why their sharp, clean edges are popular.
The seamless design is often complemented with tile, marble, or stone, and your designer can make it a one-sided unit or see-through with two sides.
The frameless look also affects mantel trends this year; it’s popular for frameless fireplaces to be installed flush with the wall without a mantel.
A big plus for the indoor frameless fireplace is it’s easy to integrate it with automation systems in the home, so they’re a breeze to use.
Three-Sided Corner Fireplace
The three-sided fireplace is also known as a peninsula fireplace, and it features a modern, clean appearance and offers impressive views from several angles. Designers and architects love this style because it brings coziness and warmth to a room without taking up open space.
A three-sided wood or gas fireplace is a lovely statement piece for your home or business. And if you want a gas fireplace inside the house, this is an excellent choice. According to many in the industry, this style can work well because of its ease of installation.
Large Fireplaces
According to many in the industry, extra-large fireplaces with gorgeous chimneys and larger viewing areas are popular this year and should stay that way.
If you choose this bold style, you can pair it with an oversized, dark hearth featuring light-colored stones that will draw attention to the room.
A massive chimney with stone overlays offers a rustic style that many prefer if you have a high ceiling. But if you want a cleaner style, you also can opt for a metal or white paint finish.
Bold fireplaces such as these can ‘wow’ guests in hotels and museums and could be a perfect look for a larger home with a high ceiling.
Double-Sided Fireplaces
Versatility is a top fireplace trend in 2021, and a double-sided, indoor or outdoor fireplace fits the bill. These units can be used year-round, whether it’s a warm summer night on the deck or a cold winter afternoon on your couch.
Indoor and outdoor fireplace designs vary a lot. Whether you prefer a gorgeous stone with a rustic, wood mantel, or you prefer the fireplace flush with tile, the piece can fit your style while offering cozy warmth indoors and outdoors.
Wood And White Farmhouse Fireplace
You can bring some contemporary farmhouse appeal to your home with a combination of wood and white design with your fireplace. White shiplap is placed around the fireplace opening, and the white continues to the top of the product with a distressed whitewash look on the fireplace stones.
In the middle is a thick wood mantel – an ideal place to show off some greenery and other home decorations you love.
The fireplace designs we mention above are popular, but most of them are classic or contemporary designs that should fit well in your space for years to come. Talk to your fireplace design professional and make your fireplace dreams come true!
