Fireplaces add a complementary touch to any design, providing warmth and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of living spaces. At Los Angeles Cast Stone, we make precast fireplaces and mantels from Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC), Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG), cast stone and precast materials. In addition to the wide array of existing designs, we also customize new precast fireplace designs made specifically for your interior use. Choosing the right fireplace can significantly influence the overall look of your room. Let's explore three distinct styles of fireplaces —classic, contemporary, and modern—to help you select the best fit for your interior design.

Classic Fireplaces 

Classic fireplace surrounds create a sense of timelessness and elegance. Suited for homes with a more formal and traditional aesthetic, classic surrounds often become the focal point of a room. We have more than 40 classic fireplace designs, which go hand-in-hand with interiors that feature rich wood textures, luxurious fabrics, and detailed architectural millwork. White or beige classic fireplaces can bring a light, airy feel to your space, while a gray tone can add a touch of sophistication to your design.

Contemporary Fireplaces

Contemporary fireplaces further simplify design elements, focusing on clean lines and minimalistic forms that go perfectly with more modern decor. Unlike the ornate features of classic mantels, contemporary mantels are best for those who value minimalism with subtle detailing. They often incorporate simple geometric shapes and are made from materials that give a modern vibe. This kind of mantels are ideal for sleek and stylish interiors, where functionality will further be emphasized.

Modern Fireplaces

Modern fireplace surrounds are all about innovation and unique design. They often feature bold, sculptural and minimalist forms all at the same time, challenging traditional aesthetics and offering a new glimpse. Modern fireplace designs can be a statement piece in a minimalist environment or blend into a highly contemporary space with their avant-garde look. These are perfect for interiors that embrace futuristic looks or eclectic decor.

Colors and Finishes

As we explored the three distinct and unique styles for fireplaces, it's time to also introduce different colors and finishes, which will help you to add a personalized touch. We offer fireplace mantels in three colors—white, gray, and beige. White surrounds brighten a room and create a sense of space, gray offers a sleek, modern look that pairs well with a variety of decor styles, while beige brings a warm, natural tone that works well in nearly any setting. Besides the colors, you can also choose your favorite finish. From smooth, acid wash and old world to travertine, each finish brings its own unique texture and aesthetic to the fireplace surround.

Final Thoughts 

When selecting a fireplace mantel, consider the overall style of your home and the role the fireplace will play in your interior design. Whether you choose a classic, contemporary, or modern surround, ensure it meets your functional needs. With the right color and finish, your fireplace can enhance the beauty of your home for years to come.
