Get Cozy with Fireplace Built-ins

Image

With cooler days fast approaching- images of drinking hot cocoa, reading a great novel, and sitting by a warm rolling fire come to mind as the perfect winter day. Fireplaces are usually the focal point of living rooms or family rooms. It’s where are we hang our holiday stocking, decorate the mantle and gather for the perfect group picture. Fireplaces signify unity, family, and comfort. In many cases, this area can be commonly overlooked.

There are many ways of elevating your fireplace. Adding a custom fireplace surround is not as challenging as you think. Fireplace surround can be created using cabinetry and shelving. It can add functionality and crate a beautiful aesthetic to your room.

Cabinet bases are often used to fill the void on the left and right of the fireplace. Cabinetry can create a custom look to your space. You can create a sitting nook and storage space.

You can’t overlook your fireplace surround. Marble mosaics or ledgestone adds the finishing touch to your custom space.

Timeless vs. Trendy: How to Balance Classic Designs with Modern Innovations for a Kitchen Remodel

Brooklyn Tile and Design

A kitchen remodel is one of the most exciting home upgrades—but it’s also one of the trickiest. Do you embrace the latest trends, or opt for a design that will stand the test of time? The key is balance: creating a kitchen that feels fresh and current while maintaining elements that will remain stylish for years to come. Here’s how you can achieve the perfect blend of timeless and trendy.

  1. Start with a Classic Foundation
