Stone Fireplace Ideas for a Cozy, Nature-Inspired Home

Stone is a great material to bring into your home: it is completely natural, looks spectacular and adds structure and therefore interest to your space. How do you incorporate it into your interior design? For example, create a stone accent wall, opt for stone floors, or build a stone-clad fireplace. I would like to share some ideas about the latter as it is the easiest option and fits many rooms.

A stone fireplace or hearth doesn’t always mean it has to be made of stone: for example, it can be made of concrete and clad in stone for an eye-catching look. You can combine stone and brick in the interior, marble, or even opt for river stone and stone to create your own unique look. A stone fireplace can be placed in many rooms, from the living room to a screened porch, and it can also separate rooms, such as a living room and a kitchen. It also has many interior styles, from farmhouse to modern, and fits perfectly. A stone fireplace or stone surround is a very smart solution as you get a 100% safe material that can withstand any heat while adding interest and structure.

How do you choose a stone fireplace for your space? Define the style you like and want. If you have a modern or minimalist space, you may want a built-in fireplace with surrounding stone as a pillar, or a real stone fireplace or hearth with a modern fireplace built right inside for a quirky look. If your space is more rustic, forest, cabin, etc., you may want a cool cabin-style fireplace made of rough and perhaps dark stone with a wooden mantel. Yes, don’t forget the mantels – they make your fireplace look older and more vintage, and ditching them will give you a more modern and elegant look.

How to decorate a stone fireplace? First, you can whitewash it or paint it white – if you want and need that. You can choose a mantel or no mantel – it depends on the look you want. Decorate the mantel with various figurines, potted plants, artwork and candles, and when the fireplace is not in use you can also put a few candles or at least some firewood. Firewood niches in the fireplace and baskets around it are very welcome to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in the room. Any seasonal and festive decoration is also welcome, let yourself be inspired!
