One of the main focal points in a living room is the fireplace — as you enter the space, it immediately captivates and draws your attention. Whether you opt for a statement piece or a subtle design, the fireplace can influence how you style the rest of the room. It is the perfect opportunity to define your aesthetic, incorporate unique textures, and infuse your personality into the space. 

Stray from the typical brick fireplace, to incorporate a decorative element in your space using natural stone, glass, ceramic and even metal mosaics, or choose to elevate your space with the wow-factor of a natural stone slab. 

Whether you are looking to update an original fireplace in your home, or renovate a contemporary new build, get inspired by eight gorgeous fireplaces featuring AKDO products; there’s something for every design aesthetic.

Floor-To-Ceiling Contrast

Negro Marquina (Polished) 3/4″ Slab, Design: Lis Arcos Interiors

This modern living room features a bold floor-to-ceiling fireplace in stark contrast to the neutral space. Marble being a heat-resistant material, serves as the perfect medium for a fireplace surround. This marble slab is fabricated to incorporate a TV niche, accented by built-in shelves to beautifully draw the eye to the innate beauty of the stone.

Cozy Coastal Interiors

The light blue hue of Fog art glass complements the coastal-farmhouse style of the living area while blending into the shiplap. The use of the mosaic on the lower half of the fireplace draws your eye downward to ensure the room feels large and open. Up close, the rich art glass colors and multi-faceted geometric shapes create a jewel-like appearance.

Neutral Decorative Accent

Small decorative mosaics are an easy way to add dimension around the fireplace. This marble mosaic plays with geometrics in a fluid, but sophisticated way, for a transitional look that transcends time. The neutral beige tones tie in with the molding of the fireplace and keep the space from looking too busy.

Tastefully Invoke Textures

The bold pops of blue add color and dimension to this mid-century modern-style living area. Due to its three-dimensional nature, the color of this glass mosaic shifts with the ever-changing surrounding light, adding further depth.

Classic With A Twist

Shimmering Effect All Day

Use a metal mosaic to create a floor-to-ceiling fireplace surround that is a glamorous and eye-catching focal point in the living area. Tying in other gold elements in the space, this space adds a “wow factor” that catches the light to create a shimmering presence.
