Fireplaces are warm and cozy additions to any Colorado home. Why not give your fireplace a facelift to warm up your home and style this season? Imagine coming in from shoveling the snow and drinking hot cocoa in front of your newly renovated fireplace. In this blog we’re sharing ideas to refresh your existing fireplace without tearing it out. Painted brick: White painted brick fireplaces are trending in 2025. With a simple paint job it gives a rustic, cozy yet refreshed look. Tile over existing surround: Adding ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone tile gives the fireplace a sleek, custom look without a full rebuild. Upgrade the mantel: Replacing or refinishing the mantel can completely change the style of the fireplace—from rustic reclaimed wood to clean modern lines. Built in shelving around the fireplace: Adding built-ins on either side of the fireplace makes it feel custom, creates storage, and elevates the room design. Shiplap or wood paneling above mantel: Installing wood paneling or shiplap adds texture and creates a cozy, farmhouse-inspired look. Fireplace Lighting & Accessories: Accent lighting, glass doors, or a sleek screen can enhance the updated design. These are some ideas, but the possibilities are endless.
