hearth

In the philosophy of Arts & Crafts, the fireplace is idealized as the centerpiece of family life: hearth and home.

Heating an old house is a balancing act; even those built in the 20th century may have aging, inefficient systems.

Browse an eye-opening list of specialist products and manufacturers to beautify the hearth (and discreetly distribute heat), all suitable for bungalows, Craftsman-era homes, and those of the Arts & Crafts Revival.

Fireplaces are the heart of a home and the focal point of a room. Consider scale, material, and especially craftsmanship for your new hearth.

A bland and damaged surround is remade with a period tile installation—and it becomes a stylish focal point.
