Stone-Clad Fireplaces: Old World Charm in a Modern Setting 

January 29, 2025

There is a raw beauty to natural materials. We’re big fans of seamlessly integrating something natural and timeless into modern living spaces, and one of the best ways to do that is a stone-clad fireplace. 

Stone-clad fireplaces are a hallmark of design, especially in New England, where stone has been integral to home design for centuries. To the modern home, they provide an enduring charm regardless of style and can elevate any fireplace to truly give the space a “wow” factor. 

Here are some of our favorite stone-clad fireplaces. 

Weston Modern Prairie

Interior Of Residence on Ash

On the main floor of this new construction, the central corridor axis runs from one end of the home to the other. The corridor is over one hundred feet of contiguous space and includes carefully curated vignettes to balance the area—a stand-out stone-and-copper-clad fireplace bisects the Foyer and the Great Room. The fireplace structure is the perfect element to help create a dramatic front entry. The ornate copper detail creates interest, and the color of the copper ties into the natural white oak millwork while warming up the grey stone. 

Lake House in Orleans

Stone-Clad Fireplaces

Longtime clients asked us to design their summer residence in Orleans. The goal for this beautiful lakefront property was to create effortless, casual living for our clients, their extended family, and friends. The large open living space on the main floor is ideal for large-scale entertaining. It includes custom built-ins with a stunning stone-clad fireplace that centers the space, evocative of the Camp that previously inhabited the site.

The design of this West Newton Hill renovation creates an open flow from the kitchen to the living room. The dramatic stone fireplace is the central attraction in the room, providing a warm and inviting feeling in an otherwise open space.
