Eight Crush-Worthy Modern Fireplaces — and a 'Fire' Soundtrack for Cold Nights

When I walk into a home, the first thing I look for is a fireplace. To me, it makes the space. Be it modern or antique, monumental or minimalist, a fireplace adds charm to any room.

Who wouldn't love a fireplace in a kitchen, bathroom, patio, or bedroom? There are so many options when considering style: tile, stone, slate, free-standing, double sided, and so on â€” it's an interior designer's dream, and the designs featured here transcend the mundane!
