57 Beautiful And Timeless Brick Fireplaces
A fireplace is always a focal point of any living room or some other room as it brings coziness and light and warmth – if it’s a working one. We all tend to accent fireplaces with mantels, various kinds of decor, if it’s a non-working fireplace, then storing some pieces inside it. To keep your fireplace safe and to accent it, you can clad or cover it with something, and there are lots of options to choose from: wood, tiles, metal and many others. I’d like to discuss the most popular solution – brick and ideas to use around your fireplace. Here we show both natural and faux brick, choose whatever is suitable for your fireplace but keep in mind that faux bricks shouldn’t be used around a real working fireplace.
Red Brick Fireplaces
Red brick is classics: it’s a bold industrial-inspired touch to any space and it will give it a brighter look with its bold red shade. Such an idea fits modern, contemporary, minimalist, industrial and even vintage spaces in case you style it right. Even if you have a small black metal hearth, you can cover the wall behind it with red brick and accent it a lot. As for the mantel, it’s often made of the same brick or it can be a stained wooden one but not so many wood stains will be seen on bold red brick. Refresh the look of the red brick with potted plants and contrasting artworks or style your mantel for the season or holiday.

Whitewashed Brick Fireplaces
Whitewashing a brick fireplace is another classics for those who don’t want a bold red touch in decor and want something smoother and softer. Such a fireplace will match a modern farmhouse interior at its best but it may be also integrated into many other spaces done in neutrals. You may whitewash your fireplace with just one coat or make it almost completely white depending on the effect and look you want. Need a mantel? Make a stained wooden one or a white vintage-inspired for more elegance. Add potted greenery and place a couple of chairs in front of the fireplace to create a welcoming sitting nook and voila, the coziest nook in your room is done!
