10 Stunning Fireplace Designs

Denise McGaha Villanova

While we certainly don’t take our fireplaces for granted during the warmer months, we do tend to focus our attention on our mantels a bit more when the temperatures start to drop. Now that it seems that chillier days are here to stay, we went in search of inspiration for chic fireside spaces to help us prepare our own hearths. From Dallas, Texas-based Denise McGaha’s sophisticated hearthside design (featured above) to a restrained yet cozy-chic room done in all neutrals, here are 10 places that prove the best seat is next to the fire.
