Fluted and reeded design and decor has become a hot trend, and it keeps being on top. Why? Because of its texture and the interest it instantly gives to the interior. Fluted kitchens, kitchen islands, backsplashes, walls and even fireplaces make contemporary homes refined, beautiful and eye-catching. Today’s roundup is dedicated to fluted fireplace but before we take a look at them, let’s find out a bit more about fluting.
What Is Fluting?
Fluting is a truly ancient technique used in architecture. Fluting is usually a series of shallow grooves that run across a surface, creating a pleasing play of light. Typically, this effect might have been used to make columns seem perfectly round, thinner and more elegant. Today, it is used for our interiors in all kinds of applications for exactly the same reasons – plus it’s a useful way to add texture to an otherwise minimalist decorating scheme.
Fluting is tactile, traditional and a little different, with a certain decorative quality. It has a charm, a character and a delightfully wholesome feel to it, it is certainly not a boring look but somehow retains a sense of simplicity and nostalgia. In these times of bolder interior decoration and less minimalism, it seems an easy way to include a little more texture and interest.

Stone Fluted Fireplaces
A fluted fireplace is a fireplace with a chic stone reeded surround, which can be large or smaller and will accent the fireplace itself. Such a fireplace doesn’t require a mantel, it looks cool, sophisticated and very up-to-date itself. If it’s a large surround, it may also feature a TV or a mirror, some artwork and even lights, and it will definitely be a bold decor feature or even a focal point in the room. The main advantages of such a solution is gorgeous style that will catch an eye, durability and safety if the fireplace is a working one, and a timeless design – fluting can be on or off but it will always be more or less actual.

Wood Fluted Fireplaces
Fluted stone surrounds are very expensive, though they are beautiful and durable, and if you aren’t ready to pay for one, go for a reeded wooden screen that will frame the fireplace or will be placed over it. Paint it the same color as the wall, and it will add a chic touch to the space without breaking your budget. The main advantage of this idea is that you get a trendy look in a budget-friendly way, and fluting can be continued to the walls for a cooler overall look. It’s not really safe if the fireplace is a working and open one but if not, then it’s ok. As for the durability, it’s not very durable but wood slats will be easy to change in case you need that.
