Randy Black Fireplace Surround
Randy Wentworth gave his living room a bold, modern upgrade with a black fireplace surround using GenStone’s Iron Ore panels. The deep charcoal tones and realistic stone texture created a sleek focal point that instantly elevated the space. With its clean lines and dramatic contrast, the fireplace now anchors the room with style and substance.
A black fireplace surround is a timeless way to add sophistication and depth to your home. The Iron Ore finish pairs easily with both light and dark furnishings, making it a flexible choice for a range of design styles—from minimalist to industrial to modern farmhouse. Randy’s project shows how a single, well-placed update can transform an entire room.
Installation was straightforward and DIY-friendly. GenStone’s lightweight, panelized system made it easy for Randy to get professional-looking results without hiring a contractor. Expert tip: You can install the panels directly over drywall using drywall screws—no framing or masonry needed. Most projects can be completed in a day, with no mess or hassle.
