Metal fireplaces that give a modern look to any room

A fireplace is a focal point in every home where everyone can gather, sit and enjoy the warmth. We’re all used to traditional brick or tile-clad fireplaces, but how about more modern, bold and unusual versions? I’m talking about metal clad fireplaces that can add style and elegance to any home.

Are metal fireplaces practical?

Metal fireplaces are among the easiest to install and can instantly transform the look of a room. When choosing your fireplace, maintenance is extremely important. Metal fireplaces can tarnish and are exposed to high heat. Ensuring that all repairs and maintenance are kept up to date is crucial to longevity.

Colors And Textures

Metal surrounding your fireplace can be of various colors and can have various textures, too. It will easily highlight your decor style or make a bold statement if you want that. It can be a sleek and shiny metal clad fireplace, an aged and textural one, a blackened metal fireplace and there are many more ideas to go for – it usually depends on the style of your space, for example, a sleek metal fireplace will match a minimalist room, while an aged textural copper one will be a nice idea for a mid-century modern living room. You may experiment with copper, steel and other metals and looks that match or contrast your color scheme and style. Such a fireplace usually doesn’t suppose a mantel, though you may try a simple wooden one. You may also go for a built-in firewood storage space, which is a popular idea to add a rustic feel to your room.

Decor And Use

Make your metal clad fireplace outstanding taking a whole wall with it – it will be your statement feature in the space. Go for a double-sided space to separate the rooms and give coziness and a warm feel to both. Create some built-in niches for firewood even if the fireplace is a non-working one, they will provide more coziness. Skip mantels or keep it undecorated – metal surrounded fireplaces are usually about more laconic decor. If you still want some, you may go for artwork and various seasonal decor (fall leaves pumpkins, skis, lanterns and other stuff) and pinecone and firewood storage. Get inspired by the ideas below!
