Fall is the season for cozy nights and stylish upgrades—here’s how a tiled fireplace surround can turn your living room into a true showpiece.

Why Tile Your Fireplace?

  • Heat-safe and stylish: Porcelain and ceramic tiles are designed to handle heat without fading or cracking.
  • Instant style boost: Floor-to-ceiling tile delivers drama and elegance in one swoop.
  • Easy to clean: Because yes, soot happens.

Trending Fireplace Tile Styles

1. Modern + moody

Black tiles create a bold surround that makes the firelight glow like a designer candle. Minimalist yet dramatic—and yes, we have lots of in-stock moody tiles to suit your bold looks.

2. Rustic lodge vibes

Drama in the design, ease in the living.
(Think chalet style, minus the snow shovelling.)

3. Artisanal touch

Zellige-inspired glazed ceramics, like the Lume Blue 2.25×9.375 Gloss Glazed Porcelain Subway Tile, add handcrafted character that makes your living room look like it belongs in a design magazine.

Tile Town Tips for Fireplace Perfection

  • Size matters: Large 24×24 tiles = modern, clean look. Slim rectangles (like the 3.5×12 Tribeca Boulevard White Gloss Glazed Porcelain Tile) = classic appeal.
  • Gloss vs. matte: Gloss reflects firelight for sparkle; matte absorbs light for a softer, cozier feel.
  • Grout wisely: Darker grout hides soot better (future you will be grateful).
  • Play with pattern: Herringbone or chevron can turn a simple surround into a standout feature.
