While most homeowners prefer tiles or brick, stucco will make your room design stand out as it’s not a traditional option.

Plaster fireplaces are quite affordable comapring to other materials but still they may require professional installation or assistance for repair.

How To Style A Stucco Fireplace?
If you have a built-in fireplace and are going to use stucco only as a surround, you may choose various designs, for example, arched ones, and consider even patterns and small pillars. Minimal stucco fireplaces are a cool idea for modern, contemporary and high end spaces, and here I’d recommend to skip any mantels. A more traditional-looking stucco stove will highlight the rustic vibes of the room, and such a fireplace can look nice with a mantel or with side seats.
