Granite blocks arranged in dry-stack style creates this rustic fireplace surround.
Lodge-Style Hearth
This stone hearth evokes the snug comfort and relaxed ways of a vacation hideaway. The rough-cut fireplace surfaces complement the lodge-style home.
Prominent Display Mantel
Made from stacked limestone, this fireplace serves as a focal point for the room. The hefty mantel is a good counterpoint to the heavy stone surround and provides ample display space for an array of items.
Floor-to-Ceiling Stone Fireplace
Cultured river rock runs top to bottom, accenting the height of the vaulted ceiling. If you plan to extend the stone fireplace facade clear to the ceiling, as shown, consider using cultured stone; this man-made material is much lighter in weight and easier to install than natural stone.
Stand-Alone Fireplace Design
Made from cultured stone, this floor-to-ceiling fireplace looks real but can be installed without reinforcing floor joists. The stone arrangement is visually interesting and needs little additional adornment.
Entry Fireplace
This direct-vent fireplace and its surrounding view greet guests when they come through the home's front door. The unusual combination of windows and stone make this a memorable design statement.
Contemporary Fireplace
Concrete stones and glass windowpanes combine to create a stunning backdrop for this contemporary wood-burning fireplace. The exposed steel chimney pipe adds an industrial look.
Great-Room Fireplace
This great-room fireplace surround is made of limestone also found on the front of the home. The generous scale of the entire hearth complements the size of the room.
Kitchen Fireplace
Angling in the kitchen island keeps the tall, stone-surrounded fireplace in view. The artwork above the mantel adds a simple, powerful touch.
Formal Limestone Facade
This exquisitely carved limestone facade is clearly classic, fitting well in a formal living room.
