The fireplace has become more than just a heat source - it now also acts as a stylish interior element that can give any room in your home a unique focal point. Over the past few years, we have seen the evolution of the fireplace and how it can now be integrated into any space in the most modern way. Fireplaces are now in the limelight and for good reason! Here are some of the top trends we’ve seen so far this year:
Four-Sided Glass Fireplaces
Also called island style, a four-sided glass fireplace that allows you to enjoy it from all sides without blocking any views. It is a beautiful, functional and sophisticated trend we are seeing this year for fireplace designs. It falls in step with other popular fireplace styles, highlighting clean, linear designs that still bring warmth and light to a contemporary space.
Linear Design
All of 2020 and into 2021, we have continued to see high demand for large, linear, and contemporary gas fireplaces. Linear fireplaces offer a clean yet striking frameless design and are among the most popular for custom wood and gas fireplaces. They are often surrounded by marble, tile, or stone decoration and can be designed as a classic single-sided piece or a see-through tunnel.
Double-Sided Fireplaces
A double-sided or indoor/outdoor fireplace allows you to enjoy flames from both rooms. They bring the best of both functionality and form to your interior design. The demand for these fireplaces is on the rise because it is a hit year-round, no matter the season! Enjoy a beautiful summer night outside on the deck with a fire and a cozy winter evening on the couch with the same fireplace
Versatile Fireplaces
2021 trends reveal that fireplace versatility is in high demand. If you entertain often, or have children, having an open fireplace can be hazardous. There are now fireplaces that allow you to have an open or closed viewing. These can be converted from open viewing to sealed so you do not have to choose between one or the other. A convertible fireplace allows you to do both.
Natural Textures
While in the past, stone and brick were the primary options for fireplaces, that is not the case anymore. While stone is still in demand, we are seeing many modern materials being used in 2021 and all of them are environmentally friendly, durable, safe, and up-to-date aesthetically. Materials such as concrete, wood, plaster, metal and glass are all being used to create one-of-a-kind fireplaces.
