As a custom home builder, DH Custom Homes can take a homeowner’s dream and turn it into a reality. As we sit down to plan out a vision, there are several features in a home that tend to stand out.
Fireplaces and mantels, whether inside or outside, do seem to be a place we spend a lot of time working with people to customize. They are an investment and set the tone for both the space and the entire home. They are a reflection of the client’s décor style and lifestyle. Stone or brick with timber mantels can create a cozy hearth for family. Grand, painted wood surrounds with marble and coordinating built-ins can set the stage for an elegant or grand room for more formal entertaining. We’ve done beautiful, sleek tile and dry-stacked stone surrounds with and without mantels to complement contemporary homes, as well.
Below is a photo from a DH custom home in Ladue. The elegant painted wood and marble surround was a custom creation for the homeowners. The height properly matches the two-story space and is complemented by carefully designed built-ins on either side.
The fireplace below also graces the design of a custom home in Ladue. The stone floor-to-ceiling fireplace with simple wood mantel, cozy raised hearth and mounted television make for a cozy family gathering spot in the family kitchen.
Our next custom fireplace, reminiscent of mid-century design, offers a little sleeker style in a transitional interior. This fireplace is in the family kitchen of a Pendleton home.
The open floorplan in the home below allows this gorgeous fireplace to be a focal point in multiple spaces. Can’t you just imagine a winter night with the fire crackling as you prepare dinner in the kitchen?
Finally – a modern take on a classic architectural feature. The fireplace actually looks through, serving as a design feature in both the inside and outside of the home. Fireplaces are no longer banished to dens! You can bring the warmth and light of a fireplace outside!
