So what does this year have in store for fireplaces? A lot, in fact, fireplaces are topping the list of home design trends in 2016. Fireplaces are making the perfect focal point of any room this coming year. Fireplaces have become one of the number one must have for homebuyers. New homebuyers rank fireplaces as the most desired decorative appearance product in a new home and in the top 10 percent of all most desired products in a new home. Fireplaces are also considered a top “dream home amenity”.

This design is chic clean and sleek looking, showcasing the flames as art results in a sophisticated atmosphere for your contemporary home.

We will also see fireplaces making a big impact on outdoor living in the coming seasons. The outdoor living room is on the rise and patios are now being treated as their own room. And like any good living room, it is not complete without a fireplace. You can now bring the ambiance and warmth outdoors even as the temperatures drop.
