Need help with fireplace design in a room with low ceilings!
Hi everyone!
My husband and I just purchased our first home and are in the process of remodeling. One of the spaces I’m struggling with is our fireplace in our living room area. The living area (next to the dining area) is not big and the ceilings are not high (8 ft). Below is a photo of the existing fireplace (ignore the furniture, it’s the old owner’s and totally not our style). As it stands now, the fireplace design really brings out the low ceilings. I would like to choose a design that lengthens the appearance of the height of the ceiling. I have read that one of the ways of doing this would be to have the fireplace tile/stone go all the way up to the ceiling. We have hired a designer (interior design is her hobby, not profession) and both agreed that we will use natural quartzite brick panels in a champagne color (to match our existing travertine floors) go all the way up to the ceiling. When we went to the tile store and showed the store owner what we wanted, he said using quartzite was not a good idea for a few reasons - 1) it won’t go well with the existing travertine floors and mosaic in the kitchen, 2) it’s so “last season”, and 3) we should use a design where the stone/tile is set vertically to give us the length that we need. Just to give you a little background on our style - it’s Restoration Hardware meets Z Gallerie, which I guess can also be called transitional. Also something to note would be our kitchen has dark wood cabinets with travertine mosaic, so we can’t go too modern on our fireplace design or it won’t “flow” well. Below is a photo of our kitchen for reference.
Would love some suggestions on fireplace design and what type of material we could/should use! Thanks in advance!

6 anni faUltima modifica: 6 anni faWe’re thinking of doing something like this. We really like the classy and sophisticated look of this fireplace. I also think it will give some depth to the room, as currently the room looks flat. I also love the contrast between the light fireplace mantel and the dark wood floors. Do you think it will look as nice in our living room considering we have travertine floors?
For those wondering, I would describe my style as transitional. I don’t really have a ‘particular’ taste, I like a little bit of everything - modern, Spanish, traditional, Cape Cod, etc. My husband and I are in our late twenties, early thirties. We would like to decorate our home so we can love it now and still love it in 5-10 years. I like timeless styles. Hope this gives you guys an idea of what we’re looking for. Thanks for your ideas.
