How to Determine the Right Fireplace Style
Once you reach this step, you are ready to select the style of your future fireplace. What exactly does that refer to? The visual style of your fireplace can vary depending on the kind of fireplace you have and the media you use for it. We'll discuss five main styles to help you get what you need.
Different Style Types
- Traditional: As you might imagine, the traditional style fireplace is what you typically think of when you think about fireplaces. This style features wood or gas logs and creates a comfortable, classic space in your home.
- Contemporary: Contemporary fireplaces can differ greatly from their traditional counterparts. Instead of wood, they typically use fire glass or other more modern media. This pairs well with the clean lines and sleek designs also featured by this fireplace style.
- Linear: Often confused with contemporary fireplaces, linear fireplaces are very popular in contemporary interior design. Wider than they are, tall, linear fireplaces have become increasingly popular for their broad viewing area and pleasing aesthetic.
- Bay Front: If you don't want a 2D fire experience, you might like a bay front fireplace. With three viewing angles, these fireplaces offer various view and installation options.
- Free-Standing: Free-standing fireplaces have become quite popular lately. Since they don't need a wall to be built into or hung on, they're ideal for open living spaces if you want to add something extra!
Now that you've picked the style of your fireplace, we can move on to the fire itself—that is, we'll be talking about ignitions next.
