The preeminent material for the timeless and elegant look, white marble has always been among the favorite materials for fireplace tile surrounds. It’s a great choice for classic lovers who want their design to last an eternity. The crisp white and unique grey veining patterns of marble provides a perfect backdrop for any color décor over your mantel that will stand out and make a bright statement. Shiny accessories such as gold ball ornaments, a classic red garland or even some red berry branches over a white fireplace would be eye-catching enough to turn your mantel into a true focal point. Oh, and don’t forget about the red stockings too!

Mix-and-Match

If you're looking for a tile fireplace design that no one else has, get creative and mix-and-match the same pattern in different colors and shades.

Glitzy Glass

Glass tiles turn a fireplace into a true gem.

When you need some extra color or shine in the room, glass is a spectacular way to get it. With a modern look and appealing color options, glass tiles around the fireplace reflect both daylight and forks of flame. If you like to see the beauty of flickering light all over the room, you may also consider tiling up the entire wall!
