Get Cozy with These Fireplace Options

February 19, 2019

Whether you are looking to cozy up in your living room or to roast s’mores outside, Logan Homes offers several fireplace options to warm up your spaces!

Each of our floorplans is designed so that homeowners can opt to have a fireplace in their Living Room.  A Living Room fireplace is a great anchor to the space and gives off a cozy, intimate feel many people love, especially in the fall and winter months.  There are many ways to personalize your fireplace, beyond the standard choices if you’d like to make it more of a focus in the room.  Raising the hearth and fireplace will allow the fireplace to become even more of a focal point as well as adding seating for people to perch on when they want to get close to the fireplace.  Personalizing the surround with tile, brick or granite on the can dress the fireplace up and tie in other aesthetic aspects of the room.  Since the fireplace surround is small, upgrading the surround is relatively inexpensive.

For those looking for a lot of pop to their fireplace, adding accents all the way to the ceiling can create a more unique fireplace.  Stone, color or shiplap are great options to greatly personalize a Living Room fireplace.  Stone veneer or brick veneer to the ceiling are the most expensive options, but are definitely the most impressive.  Even after adding furniture and décor, the fireplace will still stand as a focal point.  For a less expensive option, shiplap and a fun color are a more current way to draw a lot of attention to the fireplace wall.

If you prefer to take the fire features outdoors to increase the livability of your outdoor areas there are several option that can be added on your back porch or in your back yard that are the perfect centerpieces for good evening conversation.  A stone veneer wall fireplace on a back porch is a rich, commanding feature that makes a back porch feel more like a comfortable lounge space while still allow you and your guests to enjoy your views and a some fresh air.  The square wood mantle brings in an element of stability among the tumbled stones and the ties in nicely with a wood porch ceiling.  If you’d like to stargaze and really enjoy the breeze, a freestanding stone fireplace or a fire pit outside are great options to take the party into your yard.  Surround your fire pit with stamped concrete and landscaping will add to the texture and visual warmth, giving the area well-thought-out look.
