Madison, NJ Fireplace Remodel

As part of a full first-floor renovation in Madison, NJ, this fireplace was given a dramatic update to enhance both function and style. The outdated raised hearth was removed and replaced with a flush design, instantly modernizing the space while creating a more seamless flow with the surrounding room. The new design prioritizes a clean, open feel, allowing the fireplace to serve as a bold focal point without overwhelming the space. The warm tones of the exposed brick contrast beautifully with the crisp white walls, balancing rustic charm with modern elegance.

A custom reclaimed wood mantel adds depth and character to the space, introducing natural texture and an organic element that enhances the overall aesthetic. The fireplace surround, framed with matching reclaimed wood, ties the entire feature together, lending an inviting and cozy ambiance. To further complement the transformation, the vaulted ceiling was accentuated with a rustic wooden beam and a striking windmill-style ceiling fan, reinforcing the farmhouse-inspired yet contemporary feel of the room.

Large windows flanking the fireplace flood the space with natural light, creating a bright and airy environment. Thoughtfully designed details, such as the herringbone brick hearth and integrated media wall with a mounted television and soundbar, complete the transformation. This project exemplifies KraftMaster’s expertise in seamlessly blending traditional materials with modern functionality, resulting in a fireplace that is as stunning as it is practical.
