3 Interior Fireplaces to Inspire Your Holiday Spirit

Enjoying the warm, cozy atmosphere of a fireplace is one of the best things about colder weather. Part of it is the aesthetic appeal and the way natural stone incorporates color, texture, and personality into the living space. The practical qualities of a natural stone fireplace are appealing, too, including durability, low maintenance, and heat retention. Adding a fireplace to your interior design is an asset to your home any time of the year, but the holidays give it an extra special appeal! Last year, we shared this blog post with inspirational fireplace designs; here are three more interior natural stone fireplaces dressed up for the season.

Old New England Rounds fireplace by the team at Rangeley Builders. 

The fireplace in the photo above features Old New England Rounds, which creates a stunning color contrast with the wood on the floor, walls, and ceiling. The weathered texture of the rounds gives this project a rustic, cabin-like feel, and is a perfect spot to relax and recover from the holiday rush or ring in the new year. In addition to natural stone, this photo includes another one of our favorite things: a furry friend to enjoy the downtime with! (If you love this photo, check out our team's own "Delgado Dogs" here!) 

Harbor Mist Roughly Squares and Rectangles supplied by Ernest Maier.

The Harbor Mist Collection (shown above) adds a full range of greys and some tan to the fireplace and living space, and the Roughly Squares & Rectangles pattern enhances the room with a smooth, modern feel. The chimney (not pictured) incorporates the same stone, which brings different features in the interior and exterior together. The cohesive design is an attractive element all year long, but it is especially appreciated during the holidays when hosting and getting the most use out of these features.  

Connecticut Blend helped transform this brick fireplace into a standout feature.

This fireplace features the Connecticut Blend Collection, which brightened the room and added a full range of colors including cream, brown, tan, grey, and blue. The wood mantel stands out and helps bring the stone and the wood together in the overall design. Lastly, the stone double-features as a backdrop for the TV, making it central to entertainment and socializing through the holiday get-togethers. 

There are many different product and design options for natural stone fireplaces, and as you can see here, each is a unique creation! The stone collections, combined with the skilled craftsmanship and vision of the masonry teams, help build memorable features customized for each home and family.
