A fireplace surround is an element in a living room where interior designers often choose to make a bold statement by adding textures or colors, but with this fireplace in a home designed by Walker Warner Architects, they chose to keep things simple and understated.

With a neutral material palette throughout the interior, the smooth grey finish of the fireplace in this San Francisco home doesn’t demand attention, instead, it complements its surroundings, and helps create a calm and relaxing environment.

A fireplace with a smooth grey surround is the focal point of a living room with a neutral color palette.

The grey fireplace surround, which travels from the floor to the ceiling, also contrasts the black frame and dark brick of the fireplace.
