As cold weather blankets the Midwest, it’s time to turn on the fireplace and bask in the warmth of a vibrant flame. The fireplace fosters a spot to gather, cozy up, and enjoy relaxing moments. If you’re thinking about updating your fireplace, you have to check out these unique contemporary projects we’ve created. We hope this sparks some creative inspiration for your next remodel project.
1. Minimalist Statement
This fireplace is an absolute work of luxury with its clean, minimalist design. We used the two-sided Marquis Grand Infinite Linear gas fireplace for this room because it’s designed to give viewers a wide view of the flames from both the front and the back – perfect for a room divider. We then chose the exquisite fluted Canal Roma tile to surround the fireplace. Its marble-like appearance and unique fluted design turn this fireplace into a contemporary masterpiece. It lives in the home’s basement game room, making it a stunning backdrop for get-togethers.
2. Outdoor Patio Stunner
Talk about never wanting to leave your backyard… How cool is this outdoor patio fireplace? It was designed to look like a natural wood-burning fireplace, but it’s actually a vent-free gas fireplace. Perfect for those who like the traditional wood-burning look, without the maintenance. The surround is made up of a textured tile called Gasa Topo Moko Deco, and the linen-like appearance adds a beautiful organic element to this patio. Plus, the TV above the fireplace makes this the ultimate outdoor lounge day or night. These homeowners have a pool in their backyard and wanted to create a cozy spot for warming up after taking a dip. What a lovely escape!
3. Bold Floor-to-Ceiling Feature Wall
How beautiful is this contemporary design? It instantly catches your eye with its floor-to-ceiling surround. The Bentley fireplace is surrounded by a stunning light Dekton Trance slab that contrasts nicely against the dark fireplace unit. That light blue veining in the Dekton Trance ties beautifully with the blue walls on both sides of the fireplace. Above the stone face, a vertical wood accent panel adds an extraordinary sense of height and visual drama. It’s such an elegant focal point for this updated living room.
4. Clean, Elegant, Timeless
This transitional fireplace combines a more traditional carved wood mantel with a clean, minimalist tile accent wall. The large Japan Blanco textured tile adds a subtle shimmer and vertical height that makes the fireplace feel grand. The sleek firebox and cannon balls add a unique touch, showing how a little texture and geometric shape can beautifully update a formal, classic space.
Clean lines, layered materials, and daring scale give these fireplaces such a gorgeous, updated look. If you’re interested in creating a contemporary fireplace in your home, you’ll find so many beautiful design elements here at Benson Stone Company.
