Quartz is harder and more durable than <a href=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/granite-countertops\/\">granite<\/a>, keeping its polish while enduring high temperatures and lots of wear and tear. Plus it retains heat better distributing the warmth of your fire throughout the room even after you put it out.<\/p>\n<p>Since quartz lovers are already ahead of the game when it comes to interior design, we put together a collection of our favorite modernist <a href=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/blog\/using-quartz-for-fireplace-surround\/\">quartz fireplace<\/a> designs.<\/p>\n<h2>Quartz-Surround Fireplace<\/h2>\n<p>A quartz-surround fireplace is a slightly different take on a fireplace. It features a quartz-surround around the fireplace itself, which can then be encased in wood or other materials to contrast it. Quartz is a great option because it comes in a range of styles, so you can choose between a striking and bold pattern that contrasts well with clean wood colors, or neutral quartz like <a href=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/caesarstone-quartz-countertops\/alpine-mist\/\">Alpine Mist<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/caesarstone-quartz-countertops\/blizzard\/\">Blizzard<\/a> to deliver something ab it cleaner.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Quartz-Fireplace-Surround.jpg\" alt=\"Quartz Fireplace Surround\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15402 aligncenter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Quartz-Fireplace-Surround.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Quartz-Fireplace-Surround-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Quartz-Fireplace-Surround-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Quartz-Fireplace-Surround-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Single Slab<\/h2>\n<p>This fireplace really showcases the chromatic and textural range of quartz.

You\u2019ll use a quartz stone with a vein or pattern, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/caesarstone-quartz-countertops\/calacatta-nuvo\/\">Calacatta Nuvo<\/a>, to cover the entire chimney breast. For an ultra-modern twist, add a horizontal quartz shelf immediately above your fireplace to create a simplistic mantle.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/graniteselection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Quartz-Backsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Quartz Backsplash Fireplace Surround\" width=\"1200\" height=\"613\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15398\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Gold Surround<\/h2>\n<p>Surround your fireplace with gold quartz. A warm Chocolate Truffle quartz delivers a nice, warm effect, or Tuscan Dawn can deliver a more muted effect. Going for brown and gold shades instantly brings warmth to your room and can be contrasted well with other colors.<br \/>\nFor something interesting, try a navy or royal blue wooden mantlepiece to complement the gold and brown colors.
