The Return of the Round Fireplace

One of the reasons for the renewed interest in round fireplaces is their unique ability to create a sense of intimacy. Unlike traditional rectangular or linear fireplaces, round fireplaces have a more organic, inviting shape. Moreover, round fireplaces are incredibly versatile. They can be placed in the center of a room, serving as a stunning centerpiece, or tucked into a corner, providing warmth without overwhelming the space. Their design also allows for 360-degree viewing, making them a focal point from every angle. Surveys conducted by home improvement and real estate platforms often show a preference for unique and stylish home features. Round fireplaces, with their distinctive design, fit into the broader trend of homeowners seeking to personalize their living spaces with eye-catching, yet functional, elements.

While round fireplaces may be rooted in the past, they are anything but outdated. Custom fireplaces from Stellar allow you to work outside the bounds of common hearth types to modify the geometry of the firebox and flames. We’ll work with you to create round, half-round and quarter-round configurations to fit your vibe in a sophisticated way.

And when we say 360, we don’t just mean the design; you’ll experience unparalleled service from the Stellar team from the beginning of your project and all the way through completion. We’ll collaborate alongside you to seamlessly integrate a round fireplace into your designs. In the meantime, view our Specs & Downloads to better understand the ease of specification when you partner with Stellar.

The venting options for round fireplace can also enhance architectural appeal. A direct vent system uses a sealed cylindrical pipe that runs horizontally or vertically through an exterior wall or the roof. This pipe has two sections: one that brings fresh air into the fireplace for combustion and another that vents exhaust gases outside. The sealed system ensures that no combustion by products enter the gathering space, making our fireplaces safe and efficient.

Beautiful fires deserve ultimate views, but we know that not every commercial or residential project can spec a 360-degree fireplace. Our curved, angled and round fireplace glass encasements showcase some of the boldest flames on the market so you can still add the appeal of an organically shaped fireplace without having to completely commit to the shape. Perfect for tricky corners, tight square footage, or a space that simply could benefit from a focal grounding element, these shaped and curved fireplaces pack in style and functionality without the 360-degree footprint. Every fireplace is engineered with patented, UL-certified SafeSurface double-pane glass, no matter its shape.

While the shape of the fireplace can be round, your opportunities to manipulate the shape of the flame are endless. Star-shaped, zig-zag, snowflake, and anything else you can dream up is available with custom burner options from Stellar. If you can imagine it, we can build it. This level of fine-tuning is what sets us – and your properties – apart from competitors.
