Fireplace surrounds, mantels and flanking cabinets that frame the hearth and add storage and display on either side.
The fireplace is often the focus of a living room, and built-ins on both sides make it feel finished. A good surround balances the mantel, the opening and the cabinets, and keeps the right distance from the heat. Nashville homes with brick fireplaces from older eras often gain a new look from a surround and cabinets without changing the hearth itself.
We start with a Free Cabinet Estimate and a careful look at the fireplace, the firebox and the surrounding materials. We follow the manufacturer's clearance requirements for combustible materials and talk with your fireplace installer where needed. We then plan the mantel, the side cabinets, shelves and trim, build them to fit, and finish them to match the room. A fireplace surround has to work as a design piece and as a safe assembly. We ask what type of fireplace you have, what clearances apply and whether the surround will meet a stone or tile hearth. We also plan the mantel height for comfort, the width of the side cabinets and the depth of the shelves, so the whole composition feels balanced and the room remains easy to move around.
We follow the stated clearances for the fireplace and use appropriate materials near the opening.
The mantel, side cabinets and trim are scaled to the hearth and the room.
Doors below and shelves above hold media gear, books and decor.
Finishes and trim match the room, so the surround looks original.
