After all, what can complement cuddling by the fire with hot cocoa better than a pretty, stylish sight? Few things, in our opinion. That’s why today we’re uncovering several gorgeous fireplace designs with tile to inspire your next design project. From classic marble tile facades to decadent gold mosaic tiles…There’s bound to be something below to get your project started!

 Fireplace Tile For Cozy Consideration

A cozy living room in Maryland gets a fiery facelift thanks to the use of a Thassos white and Bianco Carrara marble tile (Georgetown) on the fireplace. This fireplace tile creates a sense of movement and transitional-approved beauty with its herringbone pattern.

What’s not to love about white marble tile? It’s a gorgeous material that’s essentially a design chameleon; there’s simple Thassos white marble subway tiles that blend in, or stunning statement white marble pattern tiles, like the above, that stand out. Plus, Thassos marble’s intrinsic ability to be paired with other types of materials, be it shell tile, metal tile or other marble tile, makes it a decadent option for fireplace tile. 

Case-in-point, the undeniably cozy result of this Thassos fireplace tile in a transitional interior. The herringbone pattern tile is made from a mix of Carrara marble and Thassos white marble to create a delightful sense of movement and style in the space. The designer played off the cool tones of the fireplace surround tile and paired it with white storage cabinets, exposed wood elements, and a wood floor. A design to last a lifetime!

Metropolitan Approved Metallic Fireplace

A metropolitan penthouse craved an urban edge which led to the use of a metallic tile for the fireplace (Stellar Steel Deco.) This shimmering, porcelain tile has a unique knot texture that adds visual interest and is a definite match for the skyscrapers peeking through the window in the living room.

Metallic tiles find a true home in a fireplace surround design.  After all, they emulate the traditional impression of real metal fireplace surrounds, but give the space a much more fashionable imprint. These metal look porcelain or ceramic tiles are the ultimate in creating an industrial chic design or modern minimalist design thanks to their bold, shimmering facades and deep, metropolitan hues. 

The edginess is defined well in the space above, where a designer crafted a metropolitan penthouse with metallic fireplace tiles to create a cool yet luxurious aesthetic. Fusing the decorative porcelain tile with sleek, wood display cases ties the design together to make inhabitants feel upscale, and modern. The perfect city retreat for dwellers.

Dazzling Feature Wall Fireplace

Why stop at just a fireplace surround with tile? You can make an even bigger splash by taking tile floor to ceiling in a living room and make a stunning fireplace feature wall design. This not only creates a unique, individualistic design in the home, but it is a great way to heighten any space’s visual interest in a seemingly budget-friendly way.

Defying common fireplace tile use, the above living room creates a feature wall tile for its fireplace that is striking.

You can use a variety of tiles to create the bedroom fireplace tile design of your client’s dreams; for those seeking a more transitional design, subway tile fireplace surround works well, and for those that want a more statement touch, using a terrazzo look ceramic tile is a sure-fire way to get that. 

But our favorite way to use bedroom tile as of late? The gorgeous Art Deco inspired bedroom fireplace tile that exudes glam and romance. Using a marble and brass tile, the fireplace becomes the main attraction in the space.

Creating a laid back atmosphere with neutral fireplace tiles is an easily achievable feat; All that has to be done is deciding on the predominant color scheme for the space, be it beige tiles, wood gray marble tiles or sand tiles and dressing up around that. 

This hold especially true with Southwestern interiors, like the design above, which features a gorgeous crema marvel mosaic on the fireplace surround. The beige stone tile creates a desert approved ambiance that works in tandem with the matching crema marfil hearth and wooden mantel.

Using pattern tiles and pattern accents is a creative way to make a bold statement in your design. While some may think it can overwhelm such a small space, that’s not the case at all!
