You can rest assured fireplaces aren’t going anywhere. Here are three reasons why every futuristic home will have a hearth.
Winter Chill
As long as winter and its brisk wind comes knocking at our doors, we will have fireplaces to envelop us with heat and save our shivering selves from the flurries of snow. The fireplace is an instant escape and brings a smile to even the most frosted and frozen. It becomes your go-to background November through March. Don’t act like you didn’t Instagram a selfie in front of a fireplace last winter.
The Sound
There’s something to the crackle, and your hearth screensaver just won’t do the trick. As advanced as our homes of the future will be, every last bit integrated with the latest and greatest in technology, the crackle of the fire is one element not to be messed with.
Customizable Options
The brick, drafty one-size-fits-all fireplaces have been left in the past where they belong. Today you can customize nearly every aspect of appearance in your fireplace. Choose from contemporary crushed glass or traditional logs for your firebed. See-through or single-sided? A brick herringbone or sleek black interior? Fireplaces will continue to evolve with contemporary styles, giving you a focal point that catches your eye for all the right reasons.
