Industrial Chic Hearths
Simple Forms and Stunning Materials Turn the Fireplace Into Fine Design.
Man made fire in the dawn of the world, yes, but the search for the most inviting hearth persists even today. Originally a way to heat a room and cook food, a fireplace still provides a warming glow in a space. Today the fireplace is a warming central spot for gathering with friends and family, or cozying up on your own. It can even become a visual focal point for a room to grow around, especially when lit in the winter months.
We can have the style of hearth we want. No need to consign ourselves to overstated or traditional (or over-adorned) mantles. In this look at industrial-chic hearths, raw materials and simplicity are the order of the day. And this smoother pared-down take on fireplaces can transfer into many different dwelling styles. We can be merry, we can be warm by the fire in simple luxury.
The beautiful detail in the wall pairs wonderfully with this simple concrete hearth placed flush to the ground.
Seen from all sides, this panoramic hearth warms from every angle in the room while adding a subtle room division.
This unusually shaped hearth flows with this overall room, still offering a low shelf for firewood and seating.
I adore this smooth blend of steel and brick, how the room offers a raw refinement.
