The fireplace is a beautiful gathering spot to connect with loved ones during chilly days. This focal point of the room brings coziness and warmth to everyone inside. Whether you're adding a fireplace or updating an old one, give special attention to this project. The fireplace tends to become the centerpiece of the room, shaping the look and feel of the rest of the space.
Here are 10 ceramic tile ideas for your fireplace:
1. Moroccan Fish Scales Mosaic Fireplace Surround
Mix fire and water by adding our Moroccan Fish Scale tile to your fireplace. This modern update is inspired by the popular trend of patterned fireplaces. While it's a stylish choice, these Moroccan tiles date back to the 8th century, so they're also a classic in the tile world.

2. Minimal Craftsman Fireplace
We adore tiling a craftsman style home in honor of the handmade process behind our tile. For this look, we like using a high variation glaze to show off the hand-painted texture. Add a little customization for a look unique to you; the simple bubble insets within this field tile surround are stunning.

3. Old Copper Field Tile with Wood Burning Stove
Nothing beats a wood burning stove. Add a ceramic tile fireplace surround to give it a finished look - turning the small sized stove into the focal point of the room. We love the use of our 913 Old Copper glaze in the image below to go with the modernized old-timey vibe of the stove. Also notice the clean transition from adding Bullnose pieces around the edging for a little extra polish.

4. Art Deco Glam Mosaic Fireplace
Turn your family room into a glamily room like our friend Emily Meszkat did with this purple Moroccan Fish Scale fireplace. We adore the Art Deco styling with the mixed patterns, strong lines, and geometry. This ceramic tile for fireplace surround is the perfect example of why you shouldn't shy away from color when you're tiling a fireplace with Art Deco fireplace tiles!

As you share intimate moments around the fireplace, make sure that the design reflects your unique personality and style. Mercury Mosaics started by making custom mosaics for clients, we love turning your inspiration into reality! In the project below we made a simple craftsman flower design to match the stained glass door of the home. It shows how a small project can leave a big impact on an otherwise straight-forward fireplace design.
