Swank Fireplace Surrounds

Caminetti Montegrappa Frames Your Fireplace Finely

— April 9, 2009 — Art & Design
I love every one of these fireplace surrounds. Caminetti Montegrappa is an Italian company that makes fireplaces for air and water heating. They have branched into the luxury home market and have these stunning designs to make the room's focal point even more beautiful, dramatic, and interesting.

Implications - Fireplaces were once a dominating component of brick homes and log cabins as a necessary heating and cooking element. Modern kitchens and heating systems have largely made fireplaces obsolete, but they've found a new life in contemporary homes as a romantic design feature. Attractive fireplace surrounds fuse traditional heating mechanisms and modern tastes, turning standard fireplaces into modern, minimalist art pieces and adding pizzazz to an otherwise bland hearth.
Trend Themes
1. Luxury Fireplace Surrounds - Companies can innovate by creating unique and eye-catching designs that turn traditional fireplaces into modern art pieces.
2. Contemporary Fireplace Design - Designers can create new, minimalist designs that bring fireplaces into the modern age and compete with other heating solutions on the market.
3. Fireplace as Focal Point - As fireplaces become less necessary for heating, companies can innovate by making the fireplace the centerpiece of a room with attention-grabbing designs.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - Home decor companies can create unique fireplace designs that add luxury and interest to a room.
2. Heating Industry - Heating companies can target consumers who want the traditional feel of a fireplace, but with modern, efficient heating technology.
3. Luxury Home Market - Luxury home builders can add value to their properties by incorporating unique and eye-catching fireplace designs as a selling point.
