Fireplace Design

It’s not too early to consider your fireplace design this summer-- yes, this summer.

The Wood Stove & Fireplace Center in Monmouth County offers a variety of trending fireplace designs

It’s likely you are going to want your fireplace design to match the look and feel of the rest of your home. The various looks described will help guide you so your fireplace is a perfect match (no pun intended). Consider the size and dimensions for your new log burner. Does it allow for extra space for you to store extra wood? Are you able to use the fireplace as a wall to divide to distinguish two rooms? Are you enhancing a cozy kitchen or is the placement going to be in a sleek minimalist location? Maybe your unused fireplace can be utilized to store wood or covered to create a chalkboard for your kids homework hangout. You could use it as an extension of your entertainment center or maybe you are going for a sparkly gold finish? Or maybe giving it a contemporary spin? Perhaps you want to achieve the long rectangular look? Or you might be thinking of replicating the feel of an at home spa-- calm and luxurious. Whichever look you are trying to achieve, it’s safe to say the staff at The Wood Stove & Fireplace Center will help guide you towards the perfect look which will transform your house into a home.
