Hi Leo, could you send us a photo of what your fireplace currently looks like? With all the hundreds of tile options out there it will really depend on your decor and the style that you're going for.
The possibilities are endless. There a a lot of tile companies that will ship directly to your door. You can incorporate a few tiles with designs on above the fireplace and solid on the sides. You can get raised tiles with animals or flowers or just great Deco patterns. It would be impossible to guess your taste.
Hi! You can totally change any type of fire place's look with paint. You can simplify the look by framing it out and streamlining the look. A new mantle can totally change the look. What do you want? What is your budget? Answer those questions and you can narrow down your choices. Good luck and stay safe!

Also you have access to tile you just don't find in large hardware stores in all price points. Much of the tile in the large box hardware stores are discontinued or seconds.
Hello, Fireplaces can be painted or often retiled and I find looking around at the visuals on Pinterest or Houzz might offer some inspiration and ideas.
We put black tile that looked like marble around our fireplace. So I would say go with something that fits your style. To save money, there are multiple tile options.
Hey LeoD, the pattern is what matters the most when it comes to selecting tiles for a fireplace. The brick pattern is the most common and loved one. The pebble one will look as elegant as the linear one. It completely depends on the theme of your house. If your house has an antique theme, you can opt for the pebble rock tiles, if it has a modern look, with sophisticated furniture around in the living room - where the fireplace is, then you can choose the linear or teardrop pattern as well.
