Just like with other rooms and features, fireplaces can have distinct personalities to match the architecture of a design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few common types of fireplaces for different kinds of homes. What catches your eye? Knowing what kind of house and fireplace you like can help you (and us!) narrow down the search to your dream home. Plus, we can always help customize any of our plans to include the fireplace of your dreams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cabin-Style Homes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-5.urmy.net\/images\/plans\/ELC\/bulk\/7450\/57018-Dancing-Rock-Loop-39opt.jpg\" alt=\"Front View\" width=\"850\"\/><figcaption><a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/7450\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">House Plan 7450<\/a><br>2,683 Square Foot, 4 Bed, 4.1 Bath Family Cabin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The most iconic fireplaces can be found in <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/detailed-search\/results\/?page=1&amp;architect=101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">log cabin and lodge-style homes<\/a> like DFD-7450 (above). These plans are great for mountain slopes or overlooking a lake. We really love these designs for their vaulted ceilings and natural materials that bring the outdoors in, and how they create a cozy campfire ambiance with the right rustic fireplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">European and Traditional Designs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/detailed-search\/results\/?page=1&amp;architect=120\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Traditional <\/a>and <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/detailed-search\/results\/?page=1&amp;architect=91\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">European-style<\/a> homes also often have fireplaces, but they look a lot different than what you&#8217;d find in a log home. You&#8217;ll typically see large, stone fireplaces with stately features and eye-catching style.

For example, DFD-8611 (below) is a great example of a Southern-style home that features a neat corner fireplace in the family room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-5.urmy.net\/images\/plans\/HND\/uploads\/Good%20Living_750kb.jpg\" alt=\"Front View\" width=\"850\"\/><figcaption><a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/8611\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">House Plan 8611<\/a><br>2,104 Square Foot, 3 Bed, 2.1 Bath Narrow Ranch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Different Types of Fireplaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 3 major types of fireplaces to consider.
