Beautiful Plaster Fireplace Ideas

A fireplace is more than just a functional spot in the home that you can use from time to time. It’s a focal point that adds warmth and character and draws us into a space. And while many of us think of the classic stone and brick designs when we think of fireplaces – that’s definitely not the only material that can be used.

Plaster is a fantastic option when it comes to fireplace design, and this material creates a timeless and elegant aesthetic that can elevate any room. If you’re considering a plaster fireplace in your home, you’ve come to the right place.

We’ve handpicked plaster fireplace ideas to help you pick an aesthetic that’s right for you and your home. Whether you’re remodeling a fireplace or starting from scratch, the images below have the inspiration you’re looking for. So, scroll down to see our picks and read our tips on how to style a plaster fireplace and create a stunning look with this centerpiece. 

The simple remodel

We love the versatility of plaster. It can be used for remodels, as well on new fireplaces.

According to experts at Homes and Gardens, “It is a very cost-effective material that makes it an attractive option for covering up old brick on fireplaces or existing drywall, providing a fresh look without the need for extensive renovations.“

So if you are planning to DIY your fireplace, plaster is an excellent material to choose as it’s affordable, easy to work with, and gorgeous!

fireplace with wood mantel

Pair your plaster fireplace with a rugged wooden mantel to contrast and elevate the space. This simple addition is a practical touch that’s also easy to do yourself and adds effortless style.

plaster fireplace with hearth

We’re obsessed with the minimalist, contemporary vibe above! Yet despite having a simple aesthetic, the extended hearth below creates an inviting aesthetic that’s perfect for a living room.

Arched opening

To give your plaster fireplace a softer look, opt for an arched opening rather than the traditional pointed corners. We love the rounded rectangular fireplace above, but you can also choose a classic Roman arch.

venetian plaster

Venetian plaster has a similar look to limewashed paint and it’s fantastic for adding texture and dimension to any room. While we love the black above, Venetian plaster comes in a variety of shades to match whatever aesthetic you’re going for!

Asymmetrical accents

For a plaster fireplace that’s slightly off-center, we recommend adding a piece of decor to create a balanced look. The large painting above the mantle sits just to the left, balancing out the fireplace that’s just to the right.

textured plaster

Choosing the right finish for your plaster fireplace is essential in creating the look you want. A smooth finish has a clean and modern aesthetic, but we love the textured plaster. This finish creates depth and character in the space above.

Built-in shelving

antique design

Pair an arched and intricately designed surround with modern plaster for an antique design that’s beyond stunning. We love this extra detailing, and it’s perfect for adding character and charm to your fireplace.

textural contrast

Combining smooth ivory plaster with textured brick or tile within the fireplace creates an eye-catching contrast that you can’t go wrong with. The soft brown inside the fireplace also matches the tones of the furniture and decor, tying the whole aesthetic of the room together.

minimalist design

While we love to see intricate designs and decor with fireplaces, a simple style can be just as gorgeous. A minimalist fireplace with an arched recessed mantel and oversized painting is gorgeous and easily makes a statement on its own. This is a perfect way to highlight the natural beauty of the plaster.

decorated mantle

Using your mantle for display is one of our favorite ways to add personality to the fireplace.

Whether you opt for a mirror to open up the room, art to add style and beauty, or family photos for a personal touch – these small additions can transform a simple space into something unique.

a rustic touch

While a plaster fireplace lacks the natural, earthy aesthetic of traditional stone or brick fireplaces, you can easily recreate the same vibe with the decor you choose.

Stacked logs in the fireplace, a wooden mantle, and a stone vase with gorgeous foliage infuse the space with those rustic vibes while allowing you to have a modern plaster fireplace.

fireplace with tv

And last but not least – the fireplace and TV combo! To contrast the sleek plaster and TV, we recommend adding architectural detailing, like the fluted paneling on the fireplace surround in the room above, to give the room more depth and interest.
