Why Does an Artistic Background Matter for Fireplace Design?

A fireplace makeover involves more than choosing a paint color or installing a new surface. Because the fireplace is often one of the largest visual features in a room, proportion, texture, color, materials, and surrounding finishes all need to work together.

Our background in the arts plays an important role in how we approach these projects. Since founding The Color Craftsmen in 2006, we have combined decades of painting experience with specialized training, including supplemental training in Europe, to develop custom fireplace finishes and transformations.

We use that experience to help St. Louis homeowners explore possibilities they may not have considered when first looking at their existing fireplace. Decorative plasters, specialty cements, metallic finishes, stone, tile, wood, and customized color treatments give us a broad range of options. Rather than forcing every project into the same style, we work through the design with you to create a fireplace that feels appropriate for your individual home.
