Are you looking to update your fireplace? Or maybe you are building a home with a fireplace? Fireplaces have become a key space in interior design as we put our televisions above the mantels and all design elements are involved to create the perfect fireplace.
Linda Mugglin, one of the top interior designers here in Panama City Beach, has designed beautiful spaces all over Bay County including some of the most beautiful fireplaces. It is always a great idea to have an interior designer to guide you through a project, especially for a remodel. Interior designers have all the resources to get you from demo to the finished product.
If your home is modern and you want a fresh and cutting edge fireplace, consider quartz. Quartz is a manmade stone and is available in a wide range of modern looks. It will give the fireplace a sleek and seamless finish. Icelake Vicostone Quartz is a top choice for this look. If you are more on the modern industrial look, go with something like Rugged Concrete quartz by Caeserstone. No mantel or a thin painted mantel will finish off your new sleek and modern fireplace.
Get a boho, beachy chic fireplace with a mosaic or porcelain tile with some color and pattern. The Kenzzi Collection from MSI surfaces or Nostalgia from Emser are two of our favorite choices for this look. For a sophisticated look for a beach home, a travertine tile is the material of choice. Travertine is a natural stone with soft neutral color tones and a lovely texture. Unlike other tiles, Travertine tiles are available with a rough edge, creating a more antiqued and charming feel to a room. A simple but timeless wood stained mantel will top off this beach chic fireplace.
If French country beach style is your choice, consider a decorative and detailed wood fireplace surrounded with a honed or polished Carrara marble inset or a brick tile inset. We love the Marble Winter Frost tile from Emser and It is available in a variety of sizes and different mosaics to get a look that you love.
Last, but definitely not least, is the farmhouse fireplace. Brick tile is the top choice to get this look. Although a brick fireplace is considered a farmhouse look right now, I’m not sure this look has ever left the world of style. It is timeless and just keeps getting better with time. Our favorite brick tile is French Quarter. It comes in four beautiful color combinations. Combine some French Quarter tile with some shiplap and a wood stain mantel, and you have yourself a fireplace that will stand the test of time.
All of the resources to create your new fireplace are available locally through Granite Plus and Tassels Interiors. We wish everyone Happy Holidays, and we will see you soon for your next home project!
