Imagine strolling into a room with high ceilings and being immediately struck by the grandeur of a two-story fireplace. This architectural wonder is not only a striking focal point but also has the power to transform the entire space. When combined with vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace becomes an even more breathtaking feature that draws the eye upwards, emphasizing the room’s sense of openness and airy elegance.
With so much surface area to work with, two-story fireplaces often showcase a mix of materials, such as brick, stone, or shiplap, creating a visually appealing design element. To create a warm and inviting atmosphere, consider arranging plush seating around the fireplace or adorning the hearth with decorative accents. Whether you’re looking for a modern take on traditional design or a cozy retreat, two-story fireplaces have the power to make your home a true masterpiece.
01 of Floor to Ceiling Black Shiplap Fireplace
The heart of any home is often marked by the presence of a fireplace, serving as both a source of warmth and a central gathering point for family and friends. In this space, a striking floor-to-ceiling black shiplap fireplace takes center stage, its bold design drawing the eye against the backdrop of a white slipcovered sectional sofa.
According to seasoned interior designer Annuska Menoita, when incorporating electronic elements like TVs near fireplaces, safety should be top priority – specifically, ensuring that heat exposure doesn’t damage or pose hazards. This consideration is crucial when mounting a flat-panel TV above the fireplace. Furthermore, introducing contrasting materials and colors around the fireplace can elevate its significance as a gathering spot.
Here, the black shiplap’s striking contrast with the white vaulted ceiling amplifies the visual appeal of the space. Additionally, Menoita suggests that extending this distinctive material from floor to ceiling makes a powerful visual statement, emphasizing the importance of this central element in your home. The light wood and nickel ceiling fan hanging over the sofa from the white vaulted ceiling harmonizes with the black shiplap fireplace, further enhancing the overall aesthetic of the room.
