Stewart Black Stone Fireplace
Stewart Egman gave his living room a bold upgrade with a black stone fireplace using GenStone’s Iron Ore panels. The deep, multi-tonal finish added contrast and texture, creating a dramatic focal point that fits perfectly with his modern décor. With its rich color and realistic stone texture, the finished project feels upscale and timeless—without the complexity of traditional masonry.
A black stone fireplace adds instant sophistication to any space. The darker tones make it easy to pair with a wide range of styles, whether you lean minimalist, rustic, or somewhere in between. Beyond aesthetics, a fireplace like this brings a cozy, grounded feel to the room—ideal for relaxing nights in or hosting guests.
Stewart chose GenStone for its simple, DIY-friendly installation. The lightweight panels are easy to handle and can be installed with basic tools, no mortar required. Expert tip: Install your mantel first, then fit the panels underneath and seal the seam with caulk for a clean, finished look.
