BLOG Innovative Fireplace Designs: Adding Warmth and Style with Shetler’s Excel Construction Aug 25, 2025

Transform your home into a cozy retreat this winter with innovative fireplace designs from Shetler’s Excel Construction. Fireplaces are more than just a source of warmth; they are a centerpiece that can evoke a feeling of comfort and elegance in any room. Whether you're looking to upgrade your existing fireplace or incorporate a new one into your space, Shetler’s Excel Construction specializes in creating fireplaces that harmonize functionality with style.

The first step in fireplace design is selecting the right type for your home. Traditionally, fireplaces have been wood-burning, offering that classic crackling sound and rustic atmosphere. However, with advances in eco-friendly technology, many homeowners are now opting for gas or electric fireplaces. These options not only reduce environmental impact but also provide convenience and ease of use. Imagine returning home on a chilly evening and starting your fireplace with just the click of a button.

Shetler’s Excel Construction can help you decide which type fits your lifestyle and design preferences best. For those who prefer a minimalist look, consider a sleek linear gas fireplace. Its elongated form can span an entire wall, doubling as a heating unit and a striking piece of art. These fireplaces come with options for heat distribution, ensuring warmth is spread evenly throughout the room.

For fans of a more rustic aesthetic, think about incorporating a wood-burning stove. Today's models are not only efficient but also can be integrated with modern design elements. Pairing them with a stone surround or a wooden mantel can enhance the rustic appeal while ensuring the space feels timeless.

When it comes to location, fireplaces are no longer exclusive to living rooms or dens. Modern designs allow for versatility in placement, including bedrooms, kitchens, and even outdoor patios. Imagine the luxury of relaxing in bed with a soft fire glowing just a few feet away, or dining al fresco with the ambiance of an outdoor fireplace gently lighting the night. These innovative placements not only maximize the utility of the fireplace but also increase your home’s value and appeal.

The team at Shetler’s Excel Construction pride themselves on their attention to detail and customized approach. Their designers work closely with you to select materials that complement your home’s aesthetic and meet your specific needs. Whether it's the sleekness of glass, the rugged feel of stone, or the warmth of reclaimed wood, materials are carefully chosen for their durability and style.

Consider accessorizing your new fireplace with built-in shelving, creating a functional space that doubles as a display for books, art, or family photos. Integrating these features not only enhances the visual appeal but also maximizes storage and usability.

In conclusion, innovative fireplace designs can substantially increase the charm and warmth of your home. Shetler’s Excel Construction ensures each fireplace is a blend of modern efficiency and aesthetic elegance. By choosing to work with skilled experts in construction and remodeling, you're investing in quality and style that will provide comfort and value for years to come.
