A stylish fireplace design can anchor a room, all the while offering the practical benefits that come with adding coziness to a living space. But fireplace ideas shouldnt be something you ponder only when the temperatures drop. Whether sleek and modern or traditional and ornate, a well-designed fireplace reflects the personality of the space and its occupants, adding texture, showcasing materials, and ensuring the room feels cohesive and inviting, says Lindye Galloway, founder and chief creative officer of Lindye Galloway Studio in Newport Beach, California.For its October 1977 cover, Architectural Digest featured the carved woodwork of a fireplace in a Madrid manse.Photo: Jose Luis PerezWhile marble and stone fireplaces will always remain classic, as ADs own archive can attest, theres no one right way to do a fireplace. Below, browse 81 truly stunning roomsincluding the homes of Anne Hathaway and Diane Keatonall of which feature a beautiful fireplace. Plus, find advice from top design pros for an extra dose of inspiration.From eye-catching modern designs that can work in a family room to one-of-a-kind creations perfect for an exotic vacation home, these fireplace ideas will inspire you to get started on your own hearth makeover. Or at the very least, you can pick up a few mantle decor ideas.How can you make a fireplace attractive?To optimize a fireplaces appeal, the key is to create harmony with the surrounding decor, says Vyanca Soto, owner and principal designer at Market Studio Interiors in Fullerton, California. A statement surround, carefully chosen artwork above, or thoughtfully layered accessories can help elevate visual interest.Materials also play a huge role in aesthetics. Jordan Mosslar, the founder of FORM(LA), a Los Angeles-based design atelier, emphasizes that you cant go wrong with marble. Marble allows you to make a statement with a bold, grounding form, he says.Those looking to get creative should consider concrete fireplace surrounds that can be cast into smooth or textured forms, advised Sarah Barnard, a WELL and LEED accredited designer in California. These could even be crafted as a nod to flowing waves and kintsugi-inspired designsRegardless of the fireplace design in your home, keep the area clutter-free. It keeps your eye focused on the fireplace design and not the elements on the mantel, says Philadelphia-based interior designer Megan Gorelick.What are the trends when it comes to fireplace design?Current fireplace trends are centered around minimalism and natural materials. The use of materials such as marble, limestone, and reclaimed wood to frame fireplaces adds texture and an organic touch that complements a variety of interior styles, Galloway says.Looking ahead to 2025, the designer anticipates a stronger emphasis on bold, artistic design and unique visual elements. Fireplaces that feature distinctive shapes, unexpected materials, and asymmetrical layouts will gain traction, allowing homeowners to make a statement, she adds.What color fireplace makes a room look bigger?Interior designers often carefully consider fireplace color when striving to make a room bigger. A lighter-toned fireplace not only brightens the room but also creates an illusion of spaciousness, making the room feel larger and more open, Soto says.Mosslar recommends selecting a fireplace mantel color that is a close match to the walls. Color drenching really expands a space and has a calming effect, he says.However, theres also a case to be made for a moodier design. A darker fireplace can provide depth and create a larger looking fireplace wall, says Elizabeth Mollen, Chicago-based interior designer and CEO of Stone Textile Studio. This also gives it an attractive and finished look that will help cover up any smoke stains. Should you want to DIY this, check that the paint is flame resistant.Do fireplaces save on heating bills?It depends. Most people do not use a fireplace as a primary heat source, however a wood burning fireplace that works as a supplementary heat source may reduce a homes reliance on central heating. This could potentially lower your energy bill, if ever so slightly. Mollen considers a fireplace an extra layer of warmth and coziness not a way to save money.Its also worth noting that a gas fireplace may actually increase your energy bills as you will be paying extra for this fuel. Natural gas is a commodity and prices can fluctuate depending on supply and demand. Look at your past utility bill to see your use and payment history before cranking up the fireplace.Now, onto the ideas.Sculptural plasterA sculptural surround can be the perfect complement to a traditional design.Photo: Elliot FuernissMost PopularArchitecture + DesignNew York Skyline: Everything You Need to Know About the Big Apples Big BuildingsBy Elizabeth FazzareArchitecture + DesignThis Furniture Maker Built His Germantown House and Filled It With His Own CreationsBy Morgan GoldbergArchitecture + DesignTour a Ray Kappe Home With a Japanese-Inspired RebootBy John WoganDont be scared to step outside of the traditional fireplace design box. Jessica Davis, founder of interior design studio Atelier Davis, employed this sculptural plaster surround by Brent Warr in the formal living room of a French Colonial home. I love an interestingly shaped fireplace, she says. This is the perfect juxtaposition to an otherwise traditional interior, especially when flanked by the beautiful chartreuse Venetian glass sconces.Keep it lowA special accent wall can turn the entire area into a statement fireplace wall.Photo: Mike Van TassellModern fireplace ideas can depart from the traditional square shape of the hearthtake inspo from Galloway to create a fireplace wall. The hearth sits low, yet the slate-hued wall gives this design a grand moment.Picture-perfectUse your fireplace to determine art, as demonstrated in this room designed by Galloway.Photo: Shade DeggesMost PopularArchitecture + DesignNew York Skyline: Everything You Need to Know About the Big Apples Big BuildingsBy Elizabeth FazzareArchitecture + DesignThis Furniture Maker Built His Germantown House and Filled It With His Own CreationsBy Morgan GoldbergArchitecture + DesignTour a Ray Kappe Home With a Japanese-Inspired RebootBy John WoganA remodel may be the perfect time to add a fireplace mantle. For the ultimate focal point, hang art that reflects the size and shape of the fireplace. By choosing a light palette, Galloway creates impact without overpowering the living space. High ceilings, geometric shapes, and luxurious materials add to the grandeur, she says, but the true centerpiece is the modern fireplace, which anchors the entire space.Think pinkA pastel pink can be the perfect addition next to a traditional marble fireplace.Photo: Molly CulverA pastel palette creates a demure transition between the fireplace mantel and the rest of the space, especially if youre big on delicate patterns. Pair it with classic marble for a timeless look. Going lighter and cleaner will make the space look much larger, says Houston-based designer Jennifer Barron. Painting the mantle the color of the room can make everything feel larger and cohesive throughout.Sleek plasterA plaster fireplace works well for homeowners who prefer sleek line, clean lines.Photo: Darlene HalabyMost PopularArchitecture + DesignNew York Skyline: Everything You Need to Know About the Big Apples Big BuildingsBy Elizabeth FazzareArchitecture + DesignThis Furniture Maker Built His Germantown House and Filled It With His Own CreationsBy Morgan GoldbergArchitecture + DesignTour a Ray Kappe Home With a Japanese-Inspired RebootBy John WoganEpitomize sleek, modern design by featuring a refined white plaster surround that echoes elegance. The choice of a neutral white plaster enhances the clean lines of the fireplace and creates an airy ambiance by reflecting natural light, making the room feel more expansive, Soto explains. The wall-mounted TV complements the minimalist aesthetic, and the greenery framing the fireplace serve as a focal point that helps add balance to the overall inviting atmosphere.Back to blackSometimes a quick paint job can drastically make over a fireplace.Photo: Dustin HalleckFor her own home, Mollen wanted a more modern space, but didnt want to sacrifice the dentil details of the 100-year-old millwork. The solution: retiling the fireplace surround with marble and painting the original mantel in Farrow & Ball Off Black.Layer stoneJAMs simple design is elevated with bespoke stone.Photo: Gieves AndersonMost PopularArchitecture + DesignNew York Skyline: Everything You Need to Know About the Big Apples Big BuildingsBy Elizabeth FazzareArchitecture + DesignThis Furniture Maker Built His Germantown House and Filled It With His Own CreationsBy Morgan GoldbergArchitecture + DesignTour a Ray Kappe Home With a Japanese-Inspired RebootBy John WoganJoe McGuier, cofounder and principal at JAM, designed this mantel for this years Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse.Using clean, stepped geometric forms in an asymmetrical arrangement, the mantel becomes a quiet canvas for the incredible amber marinace marble, McGuier says. Sourced and fabricated in collaboration with Agnes and Beata at BANDA Stone, this mantel is truly the off-center centerpiece of the room.Work with white wallsUse texture to differentiate a fireplace and wall that are painted the same color.Photo: Sam FrostA white fireplace wont get lost in a white wall if it has texture. When working on this room, Galloway drew inspiration from old Spanish architecture and European influences and opted for a raked plaster detail on the fireplacea modern take on the traditional exterior plaster of Spanish architecture. Instead of disappearing, it further enhances the layered design ideas.Striking silhouetteTurn your fireplace into sculptural art.Photo credit: Eefje De Coninck & Senne Van der VenMost PopularArchitecture + DesignNew York Skyline: Everything You Need to Know About the Big Apples Big BuildingsBy Elizabeth FazzareArchitecture + DesignThis Furniture Maker Built His Germantown House and Filled It With His Own CreationsBy Morgan GoldbergArchitecture + DesignTour a Ray Kappe Home With a Japanese-Inspired RebootBy John WoganA fireplace can anchor any sitting area. Belgian interior architect Peter Ivens envisioned a bespoke silhouette that attracts without distracting. His recent monograph, Peter Ivens - Houses (Luster), highlights how to create character in a home without being ostentatious. A luxurious limestone construction for this fireplace mantel proves the point.Tune into natureMaterials like Ceppo di Gris add a natural element to a fireplace.Photo: Nils TimmChannel natural elements by adding a variegated Ceppo di Gris into the surround. This is a special place in your home as its alive, says Joelle Kutner at Ome Dezin in Los Angeles. It is the focal point of your room and a bit of a watering hole for you and your guests.Revive the brickPainted brick is a quick project for a modern upgrade.Photo: Dustin HalleckMost PopularArchitecture + DesignNew York Skyline: Everything You Need to Know About the Big Apples Big BuildingsBy Elizabeth FazzareArchitecture + DesignThis Furniture Maker Built His Germantown House and Filled It With His Own CreationsBy Morgan GoldbergArchitecture + DesignTour a Ray Kappe Home With a Japanese-Inspired RebootBy John WoganFor this family room, Mollen designed custom built-ins around the original fireplace and updated the whole space with a beautiful charcoal gray paint color. Painting the brick the same color as the built-ins gives it a more modern look, she says.Find zen in zellige tilePhoto: Nils TimmZellige tile provides texture that is equally contemporary and lived in. Kutner emphasizes that the right fireplace doesnt necessarily make your main space look bigger, the goal is to make it feel more intimate, as seen here.Think steel surroundThe fireplaces surround serves as a backdrop in this Austin home.Photo: Douglas FriedmanMost PopularArchitecture + DesignNew York Skyline: Everything You Need to Know About the Big Apples Big BuildingsBy Elizabeth FazzareArchitecture + DesignThis Furniture Maker Built His Germantown House and Filled It With His Own CreationsBy Morgan GoldbergArchitecture + DesignTour a Ray Kappe Home With a Japanese-Inspired RebootBy John WoganFor this ranch-style home in Austin, Ryan Street Architects designed a music lounge to entertain and host impromptu concerts. The fireplace features a steel surround with a matte finish creating a moody, atmospheric backdrop. The idea was to create a centerpiece that highlights the rooms balance of contemporary and organic materials, says designer and firm owner Ryan Street.Lean into geometryReferencing vernacular design ensures a home fits with its surroundings.Photo: Guillaume de LaubierTake inspiration from your locale. For this outdoor fireplace, designer Pirajean Lees was inspired by the Moroccan countryside. The geometric cutouts flanking the hearth create a version of an accent wall that feels as if its always been there.Consider clearGlass fireplaces work well in modern homes.Photo: Venjhamin ReyesMost PopularArchitecture + DesignNew York Skyline: Everything You Need to Know About the Big Apples Big BuildingsBy Elizabeth FazzareArchitecture + DesignThis Furniture Maker Built His Germantown House and Filled It With His Own CreationsBy Morgan GoldbergArchitecture + DesignTour a Ray Kappe Home With a Japanese-Inspired RebootBy John WoganA custom glass fireplace may be just what you need for a modern living room design in a coastal abode. This way, no views are obstructed and the glass reflection can even make the room appear larger. It is especially beautiful in the moonlight, designer Gorelick says.Cozy minimalismPainted bricks and wood tones are a perfect match.Photo: Ace Misiunas Design: Sarah Barnard DesignMinimalist room ideas dont have to feel clinical. Painting brick fireplace faades the same color as the walls work for midcentury and modern farmhouse interiors, especially when paired with wood tones and plush textiles. Stone faades and mantels can introduce a luxurious visual connection to the natural world, Barnard says. Its a versatile material that can create contemporary, clean lines.Make it a museConsider your fireplace as a work of art.Photo: Julie SoeferMost Popular

Lawyers for The New York Times and Daily News, which are suing OpenAI for allegedly scraping their works to train its AI models without permission, say OpenAI engineers accidentally deleted data potentially relevant to the case. Earlier this fall, OpenAI agreed to provide two virtual machines so that counsel for The Times and Daily News could perform searches for their copyrighted content in its AI training sets. (Virtual machines are software-based computers that exist within another computers operating system, often used for the purposes of testing, backing up data, and running apps.) In a letter, attorneys for the publishers say that they and experts they hired have spent over 150 hours since November 1 searching OpenAIs training data.But on November 14, OpenAI engineers erased all the publishers search data stored on one of the virtual machines, according to the aforementioned letter, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York late Wednesday. OpenAI tried to recover the data and was mostly successful. However, because the folder structure and file names were irretrievably lost, the recovered data cannot be used to determine where the news plaintiffs copied articles were used to build [OpenAIs] models, per the letter.News plaintiffs have been forced to recreate their work from scratch using significant person-hours and computer processing time, counsel for The Times and Daily News wrote. The news plaintiffs learned only yesterday that the recovered data is unusable and that an entire weeks worth of its experts and lawyers work must be re-done, which is why this supplemental letter is being filed today.The plaintiffs counsel makes clear that they have no reason to believe the deletion was intentional. But they do say the incident underscores that OpenAI is in the best position to search its own datasets for potentially infringing content using its own tools. An OpenAI spokesperson declined to provide a statement.In this case and others, OpenAI has maintained that training models using publicly available data including articles from The Times and Daily News is fair use. In other words, in creating models likeGPT-4o, which learn from billions of examples of e-books, essays, and more to generate human-sounding text, OpenAI believes that it isnt required to license or otherwise pay for the examples even if it makes money from those models.That being said, OpenAI has inked licensing deals with a growing number of new publishers, including the Associated Press, Business Insider owner Axel Springer, Financial Times, People parent company Dotdash Meredith, and News Corp. OpenAI has declined to make the terms of these deals public, but one content partner, Dotdash, is reportedly being paid at least $16 million per year.OpenAI has neither confirmed nor denied that it trained its AI systems on any specific copyrighted works without permission.

Gears & GambitsI want to add a different twist Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 will rethink how it implements mini-games, says director Naoki HamaguchiThe as-yet-untitled Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth sequel is going to change things up a bit, as Hamaguchi vows to rearrange things slightly.Image credit: VG247 Article by Dom Peppiatt Editor-in-chief Additional contributions byAlex DonaldsonPublished on Nov. 21, 2024 There sure were a lot of mini-games in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, huh? By my count, there are 21 different activities you can experience as Cloud and his company venture out from Kalm and across the planet.Some are fantastic - Queens Blood probably rivals Final Fantasy 8s Triple Triad in terms of being one of the series best additions - but some pale in comparison. Glide de Chocobo? 3D Brawler? Cactuar Crush? Crunch-off? It feels like a lot of them were just there as filler, with less thought and polish than the obvious, keystone diversions.A cursory look online will show you that the proliferation of mini-games split the audience in two; some loved the variety, the challenge, the nonsense of it all, and some hated it. Pfft, its just busywork, they cry, needless time-wasting. Well, it turns out Square Enix has been paying attention to all you loud-mouth malcontents, and for Final Fantasy Remake Project, Part 3, the developer is keen to do things slightly differently.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Just talking about Rebirth, I think I'm very happy with the volume and the balance of mini-games we have in that game, says Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director, Naoki Hamaguchi, in an exclusive interview with VG247. And I think we very much achieved what we set out to do with the mini-games, as well. I'll explain what that was.I play a lot of games, a lot of open world games, and something I feel whilst playing a lot of these games is that you've got the core mechanics - or their fighting systems - and most of the content you'll encounter, most of the places you can go, most of what you'll be doing, can get repetitive. [These games] just use the same mechanics. There are no real changes, theres nothing new to experience around the different regions of these worlds.Hes right. Youll often see open world titles these days simply have all the various mini-games on offer available to you throughout the world; think of Far Cry, or Assassins Creed, or even The Witcher -- the various mini-games on offer populate the map, theyre not really locked to any one region. The world at large enjoys Gwent, or Orlog, or whatever else; it doesnt necessarily vary, region-to-region. Queen's Blood is the highlight of FF7 Rebirth - but will Part 3 have something similar? | Image credit: VG247But in making Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth feel like a whole planet rather than just one big open area, the development team made the conscious decision to put different mini-games in different regions. Not everyone, everywhere, enjoys the same thing, right? The downside is that some players thought there was simply too much to do, and a gulf of quality between the best of the best, and the worst of the worst.Obviously, theres a great battle system in Rebirth - and theres a lot of fun to be had in fighting the various different monsters in each region - but I wanted it to feel like a breath of fresh air when you entered each different region, continues Hamaguchi. That you feel like theres something new and exciting to do when you enter a new area. That you can experience something different with the mechanics. Thats why we wanted to put so many different mini-games in, and I feel we really managed to achieve our goal with that. Its simply a breath of fresh air in an open world (or open field, as we call it for Rebirth).But hes aware that doing the same thing again and again isnt necessarily going to get good results. Theres a law of diminishing returns, after all, and Final Fantasy is - and has always been - known for its desire to innovate and not rest on its laurels.So are we going to continue with this same balance going forward? Have we reached perfection? I think if we did just do the same thing again for the third game in the series, then it wouldnt really be very new or exciting anymore, he says. I want to add a different twist, rearrange things slightly for the next game, and have a slightly different look to things.We dont just want to make more of the same, we want to make new and exciting experiences. Not just a load of balls, as they say. | Image credit: Square EnixThere is very little information about Part 3 out there at the moment - we dont even know its name yet - but this is refreshing to hear. Its clear that Hamaguchi, alongside (assumedly returning) creative director Tetsuya Nomura and producer Yoshinori Kitase, want to keep things fresh for the third game. It needs to be a satisfying climax, after all, and were not going to get that simply by retreading old ground, are we?Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is out now on PS5, and looks even better on the PS5 Pro (if you can afford one). Final Fantasy Remake Part 3 has no release date, but we may get it sooner than we thought.

Bite MeWho says cannibalism and Valentine's Day don't mix? Yellowjackets Season 3 has a release dateLove and blood are in the air!Image credit: Paramount News by Oisin Kuhnke Contributor Published on Nov. 20, 2024 Calling all cannibalism lovers, Yellowjackets season 3 has a release date, and its timing is great, if a bit twisted.Fans of Yellowjackets have been desperate for the third season of the popular TV show since season 2 wrapped up early 2023, but last year's writer and actor strikes (understandably) delayed things a touch. There was some casting news earlier this year, which Community lovers will likely be quite happy about, but Showtime has finally set a release date for season 3: February 14, next year. Yes, that is Valentine's Day, which definitely tickles me a little bit given the whole cannibalism thing Yellowjackets has going on, but whoever said that there was nothing romantic about eating your best friend? Not me, that's for sure!To see this content please enable targeting cookies. For those that have never heard of Yellowjackets before, an official logline explains that it follows "the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives theyve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over."

On top of Joel McHale joining the cast, there's also Hilary Swank, as well as all the main cast members from the first two seasons. Fingers crossed neither of them bite the bullet too quickly. The show will arrive on Paramount+ with the Showtime plan on the aforementioned February 14 release date, before its linear debut on February 16 - international viewers will also be able to catch it on Paramount+.

Here is yet one more sign of the travel industrys noticeable boom: a major growth round for one of the B2B startups servicing it. Lighthouse, a data analytics platform for hotels and others in the hospitality industry, has closed a Series C of $370 million. The KKR-led round catapults Lighthouse to a valuation of over $1 billion.The funding will be used to continue building out more data sets, analytics tools and AI functionality, the company said. It may also be using this large capital injection for acquisitions to evolve its business: the company has made four acquisitions to date, and one from earlier this year Stardekk has built all-in-one hotel software for managing reservations and more.The company is based out of London, and this is one of the biggest rounds for a startup based in the city, as well as one of the biggest rounds for the travel sector, for this year.For those tracking how Europes startup ecosystem is performing at the moment, Lighthouses funding track record is instructive: the company raised $80 million in 2021, at a peak moment for fundraising.This latest round is an affirmation from investors that its been doing the right things in the last several years.In Europe, startups have been beaten by slower activity across a number of segments of tech, geopolitical turmoil and slow economic growth. Lighthouse has aimed its business at a global market (currently estimated to be worth some $15 trillion annually), and its focus on business intelligence and applying newer technology like AI to providing it, underscores how data-driven businesses continue to see opportunities.The companys core set of tools are not directly related to taking bookings or managing staff and accounts per se. Instead, its focus is on business intelligence, specifically analytics and insights. It says that it crunches 400 terabytes of travel and market data daily, and leverages AI to provide insights to customers, with products targeting large hotel chains, and others targeting smaller operations.It says it has more than 70,000 hospitality providers using its tools, with some of the big names including Holiday Inn, Radisson and NH Hotel Group.The round is a testament to the demand among hotels for better tooling to improve its pricing and overall offer to customers, at a time when we have more choice than ever before, and more ways of finding and booking hotels.Were just getting started in making hospitality data and tools more powerful, accessible, and affordable, said Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO of Lighthouse, in a statement. I couldnt be more energized by what were working towards. Were hopefully speaking with him later today to hear more.The companys previous round included Spectrum Equity, F-Prime Capital, Eight Roads Ventures, and Highgate Technology Ventures, and all of these investors are also participating in this latest Series C.
