Stacked Slate and Floating Cedar
Create a rich, multi-layered textural experience by pairing a rough, stacked slate fireplace surround with a thick, floating western red cedar mantle. The horizontal lines of the slate tiles mirror the long, clean lines of the cedar beam, creating a harmonious sense of rhythm and structure. The warm, reddish-orange tones of the cedar provide a stunning contrast to the cool, earthy grays of the slate. This combination is perfect for a modern cabin or a cozy contemporary living room. Decorate with natural elements, such as dried pampas grass in a stoneware jug, to enhance the earthy, organic vibe of the materials.
