Michael’s Light Brown Fireplace
Michael Lorusso gave his living room a warm, elevated look with a light brown fireplace surround using GenStone’s Vanilla Bean panels. The natural tones and stacked stone texture created a cozy focal point that adds both style and comfort to the space. With its inviting finish and realistic detail, the fireplace now feels like an intentional design feature—perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
A light brown fireplace is a versatile choice that works well across a range of design styles. The Vanilla Bean finish adds depth and warmth while pairing easily with both modern and traditional décor. Whether updating an older fireplace or building something new, this tone brings timeless character and a clean, finished look to any room.
Michael tackled the install himself using GenStone’s lightweight panel system. The panels attach directly to drywall with standard screws—no masonry, mortar, or major prep work needed.
Expert tip: Pre-plan your layout and cut panels to stagger seams for a more natural, seamless finish. The entire project can be completed in a weekend with basic tools and minimal mess.
