The modern aesthetic is quite different from the traditional conventional one. Where before, there was heavy emphasis on ornamentation, and embellishment, with changing times, the tide of designs also took a turn – and have been static ever since. If any design movement became stagnant for too long, it is common sense that the lively, thriving people would become bored with it. So just like architecture, interior design has been running the gamut of several movement from century to century – there are elements that change completely, aesthetics that are revived, styles that have been converging and diverging from authenticity. Everything becomes relevant when it comes to the time, age, and the contemporary. The contemporary of these days has been leaning towards stark modernism these days, and to accommodate that aesthetic, the interior design has to be a firm counterpart. For fireplaces, this accommodating look has been progressively static, and today, we have fireplaces that hang down from the ceiling in pod like formations. These range in a wide variety from austere, to industrial, to spectacular. In this article, we would be discussing stunning hanging fireplaces in various shapes and sizes.
