What Materials Can A Minimalist Fireplace Be Made Of?

A minimalist fireplace can be made of concrete, glass, metal, brick and many other materials, it can be a built-in option or a free-standing one, double-sided piece in glass. Ethanol fireplaces are totally welcome to match your minimal space, they are clearly minimalist and you won’t have to puzzle over their design or surround. The main feature that forms the look of your fireplace is how you surround it. Here you should pick some contemporary and sleek material: concrete, marble, stone, metal, even wood. You may highlight such a fireplace with a large panel over it, it can be of any color that matches your interior, and the hood can be hidden inside it.

How To Style Around A Minimalist Fireplace?

Think how you will style the space around your fireplace because it affects the view a lot. The details make a difference, the way logs are stored/stacked by/under the fireplace, the fireplace door, should there be one, the baseboard usually used for protection and the bench for extra seating or for that design wow factor. Keep your interior style up preferring all these things done minimal, with simple and laconic aesthetics and a clean look. Skip mantels and go for a bench built right under the fireplace in case you want it. Get inspired!
