Basement Fireplace

I love the way the pattern lines up exactly with the distance between firebox and mantle.

Q

I like the wood handrail, horizontal stringers, wide set metal posts (5'-6'), narrow stringers (4"), all in black and wood.

Q

I like the wood top and the simple posts. I want black stringers.

Q

I like the look of this if the metal is painted black. The top rail could be black or Brazilian cherry or walnut.

Q

I like the wide-set posts (5'-6') and the close stringers (4"?)

Q

beautiful combination of wood rail and metal stringers. The complicated turn is unnecessary.

Q

I like the wood top rail. I do not like the twisted stringers

Q

The right side going down can have only a top rail while the left side will have top rail plus stringers

Interesting wall treatment around fireplace. Nice space for artwork above. No hearth bench.

Q

I like the shelves that match the mantle

Slate fire surround would tie into the mudroom floor and the soapstone countertop.

Q

I don't like the look of this plain fireplace wall. It is a cautionary example. The fireplace is at the same height as ours. But there is a weird empty space in front of it. Maybe it won't matter to us because we have a smaller room.

Fireplace screen - decorative and protective

No hearth. This maximizes floor space.
