I recently came across a black wood burning stove placed inside a stone fireplace with a black hearth and rustic wood mantel. A flat panel TV was positioned inside a white built-in media unit next to the fireplace. This design struck me as my favorite due to its seamless blend of rustic and modern elements.

The space around a fireplace is one of those areas in a home that is perfect for friends and family to gather. Stone fireplaces, in particular, can act as a stunning focal point in any living room, especially if they are built from floor to ceiling. In my experience, I’ve always loved stone fireplaces because every one of them is unique. Even when you use similar stone, no two fireplaces are alike.
There are also a lot of opportunities to decorate the mantel and hearth to make the most of your stone fireplace. For example, consider adding another layer of functionality by fitting a flat panel TV above the mantel or adorning the space around the firebox with decor such as vases, candlesticks, or mirrors.
Here are some statement-making stone fireplaces that we hope inspire you to make your fireplace a space all your loved ones will want to gather around.
