Louie Lavec, lead interior designer for All Barndominium Plans, highlights the benefits of using stone for fireplaces: “Stone itself is a beautiful and durable material, making it an ideal choice for a fireplace.” This design showcases a dry stacked stone and white shiplap 2-story fireplace, finished with a stained wood mantel and gray stone hearth. The fireplace is a perfect example of combining the elegance of stone with the modern appeal of shiplap, creating a stunning centerpiece in this gray living room. However, Lavec notes that installing a stone fireplace can be expensive and labor-intensive, so it’s essential to consult with professionals and maintain it regularly to retain its beauty over time.
