It’s Cozy Season: 5 Examples of the Transformative Power of Fireplace Tile

There's a chill in the air, so cue for a crackling fire. Now is the fireplace's time to glow. But what really makes this centerpiece of any room so spectacular is the fireplace tile that adorns it.

Indeed, fireplace tile can transform an entire room. So, in that spirit, we're cozying up to these five beauties that are in season in the winter months — and all year round, too.

It's Fireplace Season! 5 Examples of Striking Fireplace Tile 

A Natural Beauty 

Even when there's not a fire burning, this tile fireplace has a scintillating radiance — thanks to the opalescence of our Natural White 2"x6" Zellige tile. When used here as a fireplace tile, it creates a subtle yet striking glow that is perfectly suited to the versatility of Benjamin Moore's Edgecomb Grey paint color, says interior designer @gordonhilldesigns. Taken together, the effect is "crisply tailored as well as softly breezy, velvety, and warm." We couldn't agree more!

White Magic

 

 

 

Think an all-white fireplace is dull? This stunner in white will change your mind. Designer @oakandlineninteriors transformed a dated — and decidedly uninspiring — wall fireplace into a dramatic moment in this living space. You would never know it's the same fireplace! The crisp floor-to-ceiling effect is created with our 2"x8" White Cement Tile that provides the ultimate sleek and chic fireplace facelift. 

Grey Area

 

While this tile fireplace remodel may have lots of grey areas, there is absolute clarity that it is gorgeous in its simplicity. Designer @madisonnicoledesign used our 4"x4" Grey Zellige Tile on the face of the fireplace and then further warmed up the effect with a natural wood mantel, white shiplap, and multiple instances of vibrant green plants.⁠

Blue Zones

 

We'll live in this "blue zone" any day of the week. Our Aegean Blue 2"x8" Ceramic Tile takes center stage in this fireplace from @modwestmade. The rich blue hue delivers a healthy dose of saturated color that's eye-catching and whimsical. After all, no one ever said a fireplace surround needed to be a shrinking violet — and blue phases aren't just reserved for Picasso and Matisse. 

Pattern Play

 

Think you cannot mix tile patterns? This striking tile fireplace from @staged.spaces may cause you to reconsider. Our Estrella Black Cement Tile on the façade brings geometric intrigue to the crisp, white walls — especially when paired with the complementary yet distinct pattern in our Zanzibar Black Cement Tile on the hearth. Taken together, these tiles bring a global allure to the California cool-meets-western aesthetic.
