Stone walls add a natural, rustic look, providing your home with warmth and comfort. You don’t need real stone (or a wood burning fireplace) to achieve a traditional aesthetic. This wall by @cr8tivewanderlust features faux stone by Qora Cladding and a mantel by Pearl Mantels.

5. Roman Clay or Textured Paint Accent Wall

Calming textures in neutral colors are everywhere this year - including on fireplace accent walls. Roman clay and textured paint in soothing beiges, grays and browns bring a natural look to any space. The realistic Touchstone fireplace flames add to the relaxed style (and Touchstone's built-in smart home technology adds to the effortless feel).

6. Tile Fireplace Accent Wall

Slat wood panels provide a decorative element that can double as a sound-absorbing acoustic wall. This fireplace accent wall harmonizes the room with visually pleasing LED flames and comfortable sound.

10. Neutral and Natural Style

The emphasis on textures and natural colors will be a design trend well beyond 2024. From sustainably sourced wood slat panels to textured Roman clay paint, the feel of the fireplace accent wall brings as much relaxation as the look.

Lime wash paint is another popular (and easy) fireplace accent wall covering. This natural limestone style adds a powdered marble effect with a gentle matte finish.

Cool-to-the-touch Touchstone electric fireplaces fit right in with this focus on feeling good. Calming neutral and earth tone colors bring balance and instantly update any space.
