Fireplace design ideas needed

5 years ago

Looking for ideas to finish our fireplace that is in the dining area/kitchen in an open Craftsman home. The fireplace is off center and there is green granite that is in front of the fireplace that matches the kitchen countertops. Kitchen cabinets are cherry with a Shaker style. Ideas are as follows:

1. Stone or slate to the top of the ceiling with a wood mantel around the hearth. Do you extend the mantel the total width of the fireplace?

2. Frame the fireplace with a mantel, craftsman tile within, and extend the mantel it the full width. Paint everything above the mantel. Any color recommendations

3. Should there be smaller wood or tile design elements that go the full width of the fireplace to make it look more cohesive.

I'd just do a craftsman detailed mantle and side columns (wood) with tile surround inside of all that. Stone or tile to the ceiling would be way too heavy and there is no natural break point to the right. Steal the details from your buffet. Scroll down to the image with the green glazed tile here, something like that. https://www.standout-fireplace-designs.com/craftsman-fireplace.html

I agree, let the buffet inspire the look. You might see about incorporating green marble tiles with others for a look...

Ooh, that's somewhat near the corner and off-center isn't it? Is it possible to get a further back shot that shows the whole wall from corner to a little of the buffet to the right of the fireplace? Just from what I see here I'd be seeking to want to balance out the offset placement of it, but it could just be the photos.
