Unique Fireplaces We Love

It's officially cold outside, but that doesn't mean you need to feel the chill in your home. If you're thinking of investing in a new fireplace this season, check out some of the unexpected designs we've found at Commonwealth Fireplace, Boston's premier provider of luxury woodburning and gas fireplaces, stoves, inserts, and outdoor fireplaces.

A fireplace in the family room will bring warmth and light this holiday season, and will provide a perfect location for family gatherings. Traditional gas and wood-burning inserts are a timeless and classic way to incorporate a fire element into this room. 

Below, the Montigo H-Series fireplace has a white wood surround, which blends it seamlessly in with the rest of the neutral-colored room.

The Biltmore Majestic Fireplace below also has a traditional design, but with a light stone surround instead of wood. This look is more rustic and cozy, and perfect for a family room with a darker palette.

For something more modern, try a fireplace with glass surround or with an unexpected shape, like the Pearl fireplace by Majestic below. With its unconventional open design, the fireplace takes center stage as it is visible from all corners of the expansive room.

A similar look is achieved with the Echelon See-Thru fireplace below, also by Majestic. The sleek black surround and minimalist design make this fireplace perfect for modern and contemporary family room styles.

The kitchen is a great and surprising place for a fireplace. The kitchen is often another center of gravity within a home, and adding a fireplace to this space will be functional as well as beautiful. For a traditional element, the gas stove below by Regency harkens back to authentic wood-burning stoves, but the gas design eliminates the hassle.

A more modern fire element can be achieved in the form of the Kozy Heat Nicollet fireplace below. Installed on a side wall, it's the perfect way to make use of an awkwardly-shaped empty space.

The dining room is another area of the house where a fireplace will bring ambiance and warmth. What's cozier than dining by flickering firelight? The modern, rectanglar-shaped Montigo RP-Series fireplace below would fit well in a room with a rectangular-shaped dining table.

Finally, an outdoor fireplace is a great way to make use of a patio or porch during the cold winter months. The traditional Montigo fireplace design below would fit just about any outdoor space, and the stainless steel surround protects from the elements.
