Just like a personal makeover can change the way you look and feel, the same goes for our homes — and our fireplaces.

From grand traditional mantels that bring heritage charm, to sleek architectural hearths that feel effortlessly modern, the surround can completely redefine the mood of your space.

We’ve curated six surround looks – each built with Escea Accessories – to inspire and show how the right details can transform the look, feel, and overall style of your home.

1. Floating Hearth

Low-profile, modern anchor

A low-profile floating shelf that grounds the fireplace in a modern, streamlined way. Ideal for smaller spaces or creating an airy sense of openness. Keep it fire-width for a neat frame, or extend it for an elongated, architectural look.

2. Floating Ledge

Minimalist mantel alternative

A modern take of the classic mantel. This refined floating shelf softens the transition when paired with a TV or artwork above, or have it stand alone as a slimline display for objects.

3. Double Display Niche

Balanced built-in shelving

Looks bespoke, yet it’s ready-made. This built-in shelving system is installed either side of the fireplace to extend its visual width and create balance — perfect for curated displays alongside a TV or art piece above.

4. Single Display Niche

Asymmetrical design feature

A single built-in shelf on one side of the fireplace adds depth and visual interest, while also creating practical display space — ideal for tricky layouts that need balance, or that perfect vignette.

5. Mantel Surround

Timeless, statement frame

A grand, character-filled frame that adds formality and tradition to a modern fireplace. Perfect for villas, character homes, and shaker-style interiors - the mantel surround brings height, presence, and a clear focal point to the room.

6. Frameless

Seamless, integrated finish

Pure and simple. A flush, frameless finish that blends seamlessly into the wall, letting the flames take centre stage. Works beautifully in both minimalist and maximalist interiors.

Whether your style is traditional, modern, or somewhere in between, the surround you choose is your chance to make your fireplace yours - from a classic mantel to floating hearths and shelving, explore the range of Escea's Accessories to transform your living room.
