A fireplace is more than a source of warmthโitโs a design centerpiece that can redefine the character of your home. The right fireplace surround sets the tone, whether youโre seeking timeless elegance, modern minimalism, or a blend of both. Our design-build expertise has helped homeowners throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding areas bring their fireplace visions to life with creativity and precision.
Sculptural Limestone
For this sunroom addition in Lynnhurst, Minneapolis, we designed an indoor-outdoor fireplace that complements the expansive windows and brings the outdoors in. The bold, sculptured gray limestone fireplace surround enhances the open, airy feel of the space. Its subtly curved profile adds grandeur, while the natural texture and rich color create an organic, refined quality. This limestone surround transforms the fireplace into the roomโs visual focal point.
Matte Porcelain Tile
In St. Paul’s historic Summit Hill neighborhood, our homeowners wanted a fireplace update that respected their homeโs traditional architecture. We installed a matte gray porcelain tile fireplace surround, paired with a classic wood mantle matching the original millwork. This combination delivers a clean, contemporary look while honoring the homeโs heritage, creating a fireplace that blends seamlessly with the space.
Custom Plaster Surround
One of our most collaborative projects took place in Edina, where the homeowner envisioned a transformed lower level centered around a modern three-sided fireplace. To keep the focus on the fireplace itself, we opted for a custom plaster surround with clean lines for a contemporary aesthetic. This design choice allows the fireplace to command attention as the roomโs centerpiece, providing a sophisticated backdrop for the homeowner’s extensive art collection.
Herringbone Ceramic Tile
In another Edina home, we were tasked with creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere for the living room. To enhance the space, we painted the walls in a rich, dark blue and removed the original red brick fireplace surround. In its place, we installed glossy ceramic tile in a herringbone pattern, adding texture and visual interest that perfectly complements the roomโs bold color scheme. The result is a cozy, inviting space with a touch of modern sophistication.
Black Granite Surround
In a Mac-Grove home, we converted a traditional one-sided wood-burning fireplace into a two-sided gas fireplace serving both the living room and dinette. The living room features a Carrara Pietra mosaic tile fireplace surround with a wood mantle, while the dinette showcases a sleek Via Lactea granite surround. This dual-sided design combines beauty and function, creating a modern statement piece that elevates the homeโs aesthetic.
From natural stone and ceramic tile to plaster and granite, the right fireplace surround transforms any space into a homeโs centerpiece. Our team works with you to select materials, colors, and designs that reflect your style and enhance your homeโs character.
