2021 Fireplace Trends Heating Up in Chattanooga, Tennessee

Last year we spent a lot more time at home than we ever expected to, but a new year brings new ways to enjoy your living space in style. 

Check out the latest trends in fireplace design and technology emerging locally, then contact Hearthside Hearth & Home or stop by one of our showrooms in the Chattanooga area to speak with one of our Hearth Experts.

1. Expanding Living Spaces to the Outdoor Patio Area

Outdoor fireplaces are one of the hottest new concepts in the Chattanooga, Tennessee housing market today.

Outdoor Lifestyles by Home & Hearth Technologies offers both gas and wood fireplace options that are specially made for outdoor living spaces. Installing a fire pit next to the pool or a see-through model to enjoy from inside or out will not only increase your square footage but add value to your home. Invite the neighbors over to your open-air living space for a perfect evening by the fire.

2. Converting Old Fireplaces from Wood-Burning to Gas

Another trend gaining popularity for the new year is converting your wood-burning fireplace into an energy-efficient and clean-burning gas fireplace with a gas fireplace insert.

Gone are the days of drafts and damp logs that smoke you out of your living space! Installing a gas insert like the Escape by Heat & Glo will make starting a fire as easy as the flip of a switch. You can even control your new gas insert fireplace through voice command technology.

Converting your fireplace from wood-burning to gas is a great option for the homeowner who prioritizes safety or sustainability.

3. Adding Additional Warmth to the Farmhouse Look

The farmhouse look is here to stay – and adding a fireplace as a focal point to those neutral paint colors and vintage accents is really catching on locally.

Whether you choose a cast iron stove, a sleek gas fireplace or a modern gas insert with a stone or shiplap surround, you can be sure your room will reflect the simpler times of sitting by the fire and reading a good book or playing a board game with the family.

4. Using Natural Elements to Create a Cozy, Homey Feel

While a fireplace adds a cozy ambiance to any room, the trend of adding nature-inspired elements such as stacked stone can enhance the warmth of your living space.

When planning your fireplace in a new home or remodeling an existing room, design with your emotions in mind.

How do you want to feel when you come home after a long workday? Energized or calmed? Contact Hearthside Hearth & Home for help turning your vision into reality and creating that homey feel you’ve been dreaming about.

5. Modern, Linear Fireplaces

While traditional fireplace looks continue to dominate in the Chattanooga area, we are also seeing fireplaces taking on a more modern, linear look with new designs and finishes that compliment contemporary homes.

Fireplaces like the Heat & Glo MEZZO and COSMO provide clean lines and ribbon flames that dance and create a beautiful aesthetic in any room.

6. Adding Technology to “Talk” to Your Fireplace

We couldn’t highlight growing fireplace trends without mentioning technology, right?

The IntelliFire app is one of the most talked-about trends in our Chattanooga area showroom. Customers are amazed to see they can control their Heat & Glo brand fireplace from their phone or through voice command. You can even preset your fireplace to turn off automatically at a set time. That means no worries if you fall asleep in your chair!

 

Discover the right fireplace, stove or insert for your 2021 hearth project.

Whether you are building new or remodeling an existing space, incorporating any of these fireplace trends can increase the functionality and add more fun into your home in 2021.
