A fireplace surround is an element in a living room where interior designers often choose to make a bold statement by adding textures or colors, but with this fireplace in a home designed by Walker Warner Architects, they chose to keep things simple and understated.
With a neutral material palette throughout the interior, the smooth grey finish of the fireplace in this San Francisco home doesn’t demand attention, instead, it complements its surroundings, and helps create a calm and relaxing environment.
The grey fireplace surround, which travels from the floor to the ceiling, also contrasts the black frame and dark brick of the fireplace.
