1. Minimalist Designs
Let’s keep it simple, shall we? Minimalist fireplaces are all about clean lines and an uncluttered vibe. Think sleek surrounds, open-view designs (no glass, just fire), and a focus on the flames themselves. Whether it’s gas or wood-burning, this modern American design trend fits right in with modern and contemporary homes.
Acucraft’s Signature Fireplace Series is the perfect option for minimalism when installing a fireplace.
2. Eco-Conscious Designs
Sustainability is the name of the game, and fireplaces are no exception. Clean-burning gas options? Check. Responsibly sourced finishing materials? Absolutely. Pair that with natural, sustainable materials for your surround, and you’ve got a fireplace you can feel good about.
Example Of A Sustainably Made Fireplace Operation
Acucraft is proudly powered by the sun to create luxury fireplaces. We believe in the power of solar energy and have taken a major step towards a sustainable future by incorporating solar power into our manufacturing facility. Our dedication to reducing greenhouse gas emissions ensures that your choice is not just about the aesthetic appeal of a luxury fireplace trend but also about positively impacting the planet.
3. Smart Fireplaces
Raise your hand if you’ve ever wished you could turn on your gas fireplace without leaving your couch. (Us too.) Smart fireplaces are a thing, and they’re incredible. Control everything—from flame height to timers to lighting—with a remote, smartphone, or even your smart home setup. Gas fireplaces just got a whole lot smarter, and we’re here for it.
4. Linear Fireplaces
You know what’s still in? Linear fireplaces. These sleek, wall-to-wall designs are perfect for modern spaces. They’re bold, dramatic, and totally Instagram-worthy. Whether you’re entertaining friends or just binge-watching your favorite show, a linear fireplace sets the vibe like nothing else.

5. Outdoor Fireplaces
Outdoor living is no longer just a summer thing—it’s a year-round lifestyle. And fireplaces are the ultimate way to extend your indoor coziness to the great outdoors.
We’re especially excited about offering the Blaze Collection for outdoor use soon, so stay tuned. Think patio gatherings, rooftop chill sessions, or even a fireplace by the pool. Yes, please!
6. Open Hearth Fireplaces
Standard wood fireplaces, such as the American or Hearthroom series, can provide a charming open-hearth feel when used with the doors open. This design option allows you to enjoy the crackling sound and warmth of a wood-burning fire, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere in your home.
7. Natural Stone Fireplaces
Stone fireplaces are making a comeback, and we couldn’t be happier. Whether it’s rustic fieldstone or polished marble, natural stone surrounds add texture and a timeless look to any space. They work beautifully with both gas and wood-burning fireplaces, so you’ve got options.
Wow your guests with a towering display of modern craftsmanship, stone, and fire. This indoor/outdoor Acucraft fireplace is a stunning fireplace for both the living room and the outdoor patio. It’s also a shining example of the beautiful wood-burning fireplaces Acucraft manufactures.
8. Fluted or Textured Surrounds
Who says fireplace surrounds have to be flat? Fluted and textured finishes are stealing the show this year, adding depth and visual interest to your fireplace. It’s like giving your fireplace a personality—something a little different, a little artsy, and totally stunning.
8. Unique Shapes
Why stick to rectangles when you can go wild? 2025 is all about fireplaces in unique shapes: circular, oval, and fully custom designs are where it’s at. If you’ve ever dreamed of a fireplace that’s as one-of-a-kind as you are, we’re here to make it happen.
Bonus:
This circular gas fireplace was built specifically for AVA NoMa residents to gather around and get to know their neighbors during the many social events for residents and friends. The unique finishing on this fireplace is trendy, industrial, and attention-grabbing. Located in the “chill lounge” near a kitchenette and surrounded by lazy chairs, this round gas fireplace promotes conversation and will keep people talking!
10. Two-Tone Finishes
We love a good contrast, and two-tone fireplaces are having a moment. Picture a matte black surround with brushed steel accents, or natural wood paired with sleek stone. This trend is especially popular with gas fireplaces, and honestly, it’s easy to see why—it just looks so cool.
11. Double-Sided Wood Fireplaces
Double-sided wood fireplaces are making waves in both residential and commercial designs. They serve as functional room dividers, offering warmth and a view of the fire from two spaces, such as a living room and dining area, while maintaining the charm of a wood-burning hearth.
12. Integrated Seating
Fireplaces are the heart of the home, but why stop there? Integrated seating takes things up a notch, adding function to your fireplace’s style. Think built-in benches, ledges, or even cozy nooks right by the fire.
Perfect for family gatherings, coffee breaks, or just curling up with a good book.
