Minimalism
Minimalism is all about keeping things simple. Decluttered rooms with minimal décor go a long way in this design style. Other staples of minimalism include clean lines, monochromatic colors, plenty of light, and furniture that’s functional over flashy and distracting.
So how do our modern fireplaces fit into a minimalist design scheme? Through these key features:
Sleek Looks: Everything from fireplace inserts to outdoor fireplaces are available in a contemporary/modern design style. You’ll find plenty of clean, uncomplicated styles with parallel lines and other aesthetics on the simpler side.

Things like bright color palettes, warm woods, sleek lines, geometric shapes, and multi-material furniture pieces are some of the most common design staples. And just like rustic designs, mid-century modern designs are easy to mash up with other schemes.
