Fierce Fireplace Surround Ideas
1. A Granite-Alternative Fireplace Surround
Berwyn, one of our favorite granite alternatives, adds elegant texture and tones for subtle contrast in this light living space. “We found that Cambria had the nicest color options to work with our beachy blue-gray theme,” says Andi Wheelband of Two Birds Design. “We kept most material white with only soft blues and very little gray as accents and Berwyn fit the bill perfectly.”
We love this fireplace design idea to complement a kitchen with Berwyn countertops or simply stand out on its own.
2. A Bold Brittanicca Gold Fireplace Surround
A Brittanicca Gold fireplace surround is a stunning pairing to blonde woods and matte black in this moody and mod home office. Get more ideas for your home work space and see more installs with Brittanicca Gold.

This lake home is cool and contemporary with a Cambria Black Matte fireplace surround offering chic contrast in the light-filled living area. “I use Cambria for 90% of my countertop and hard surface needs. The variety of style and colors makes it unique to each design I do for my clients,” says Megan Gaerte, interior designer/principal at West Central Home LLC. “For this home I wanted to do a clean and modern lake home design. I chose the Cambria Black Matte to pull in a casual texture needed for the space to add comfort without overwhelming the shiplap.”

Benefits of Installing a Quartz Fireplace Surround
Beauty All Around
As one of the hardest minerals around, quartz is a popular and reliable choice offering strong, sturdy slabs. Cambria offers the most expansive design palette with beautiful and unique designs with high concentrations of pure quartz to ensure both beauty and brawn. The best part is that it’s extremely easy to clean with just soap and water—no fancy cleaning solutions or high-maintenance remedies required to keep your quartz looking as gorgeous from the first installation to hundreds of uses down the line.
Durability
Who said elegance and toughness can’t exist together? Cambria quartz surfaces are as durable as they are gorgeous—and vice versa. Our quartz is stronger and more durable than granite, marble, concrete, or any soapstone options, which makes it an ideal scratch- and chip-resistant surface for your fireplace surround.
