It was difficult to choose from the many fireplace designs for my family’s new home. While my husband wanted brick or something rugged-looking, I envisioned something that was classic and elegant. I could just picture what it would look like with my bows and greenery for the holidays.

After quite a bit of argument, some hair pulling, and a knocked out tooth, we chose the perfect design. But here are some things you’ll want to think about BEFORE you settle on a design rather than after, which was what we did!

Budget:

It’s important to determine a budget for your fireplace, and then look at fireplace designs that fit in with your budget. We ended up looking at a lot of designs that were out of our budget, but we eventually decided on a fireplace that both of us loved. We thought it looked amazing. Keeping with your budget should be your first priority.

Placement:

Because of the way your house is built, it may not be able to accommodate certain fireplace designs. We didn’t think about this before we started shopping for fireplaces. There were a few that we really liked, but even so we couldn’t use them because they wouldn’t be able to fit in the space we had set aside for a fireplace. While beauty is an important feature, the size and shape still needs to be taken into consideration.

Use:

Do you just want a fireplace for show, or do you plan on using it as well? If you will not be using the fireplace, there are many fireplace designs that you are able to go with. But if you’re going to use it, then you’ll want to consider the materials that will be used, the shape, and of course how safe the fireplace will be.

It’s possible you’ll get frustrated when you’re trying to choose the perfect design, but if you use these tips, it should be easy!
