Using color in a fireplace tile design is an effective way of tying the fireplace to the rest of the space, or making the fireplace design stand out and be the focus of the room. Paying attention to the color while designing can go a long way to achieving the desired look.
Blending Color into the Home Design
When designing the fireplace, it’s important to keep in mind what else is already in place in the room. Wall color, fabrics, window treatments, wall art; all of these things should have a hand in helping to decide what colors are incorporated into the fireplace.
While the fireplace design does not have to include each and every color already in place in the room, it should at least compliment them. Try choosing two colors present in the room, one to be the main color of the fireplace, and one to be an accent. Using a color a shade or two lighter or darker than the wall color for the field tile, and then a bolder color picked up from fabrics, carpets or window treatments as the accent is an effective way of tying the fireplace design to the rest of the room.
