Fireplaces

From classic mantels to modern slab surrounds and shiplap features—focal points done right.

Plan clear sightlines and proper mantle heights. Add recessed niches or chase cavities to conceal cables and devices.

Pair the surround with flanking built-ins or floating shelves. Select mantle profiles to match baseboards and casing.

Choose vertical shiplap for height, flat panels for modern lines, or stone/slab accents for a minimal, durable focal point.
