In the melting summer heat, what’s the last thing you’re thinking about tiling? If it’s the fireplace, we humbly disagree. After all, summer is the perfect time to give your old fireplace a well-deserved facelift since it’s not in use.
If it’s been a while since your fireplace was refurbished, or if it’s never been updated, we’ve got some tiling ideas that will take the fireplace off your to-do list and onto your ta-da list! St. Louis Tile in Ellisville is here to help. We can’t wait to get your project started!
Fireplace Tile Updates to Consider
Does your living room need a splash of color? Deep greens and jewel tones look very striking against white woodwork. If you’re looking for a more rustic feel, stacked stone is not merely a trend, it’s a look that will stand the test of time. Plus, you can make it look rustic or modern depending on what you pair it with so it’s very versatile. For a more opulent look, include some of the new metallic tiles, especially in the copper shades to make a bold statement and give your guests something to rave about.
If your fireplace is extremely outdated, why not think big? A total teardown that incorporates floor to ceiling tile will not only make your space more contemporary, it’ll also make smaller spaces feel larger.

Tile Styles That Are Hot Right Now
- Bold patterned tiles
- Geometric patterns
- Copper, gold, bronze and silver metallic tiles
- Subway tiles laid in brick patterns
- Pencil tiles laid in herringbone patterns
- Classic marble and faux marble tiles (for easier upkeep)
