Building a fireplace is not as difficult as it may seem. First, you’ll want to choose the spot and size of your fireplace before you start building. In this example, I’ve built a brick fireplace that is made of cement blocks.
Did you ever see a really beautiful fireplace and ask yourself, “how would I build that?”, “when am I going to have the time to build something like that?” or, maybe even think about it in a sarcastic way: “Yeah right! Who has the money for that and all the necessary tools?” Well, the good news is…
How to build a indoor fireplace
This article will show you how to build a indoor fireplace with bricks. The fireplace can be used for heating or just as a decoration.
The first step is to make sure that the walls are straight and that you have a level surface to work with.
Next you need to decide what kind of material you will use for the frame. You can use MDF or plywood, but I prefer to use 2x4s because it is stronger and easier to work with.
You will also need some bricks, mortar, sand and cement blocks.

Materials:
– 2×6 lumber

What You Need
To build an indoor brick fireplace, you’ll need the following items:
Bricks – These can be purchased at any hardware store or masonry supply company. Bricks come in different sizes and colors, so choose one that matches the design of your home or matches the style of other brickwork on your property. You may also want to purchase some mortar for grouting between the bricks once they’ve been laid out on the ground so that they don’t crack or fall apart over time from weathering or moisture damage from rainwater runoff from nearby trees or bushes.
Fireplace surround – This can be made from stone or brick but should be sturdy enough to hold up against heat from burning wood logs inside the fireplace itself so that no flames come out of the side walls of your house during use! You can also buy prefab
1. Start with a fire pit and build up from there.
As you can see by the picture above, we started with a fire pit. This is the perfect place to start if you want to build a fireplace indoors. The only issue is that you won’t be able to build up higher than a couple of feet high because it will get too hot on top of your head. But this is perfect for those who just want something small and simple.
2. Use cinder blocks and mortar to create your own brick fireplace

3. Use bricks to build a fireplace mantel
We used 1×6 wood boards to create our mantel but you could use any type of wood that you like or even metal if you prefer it over wood. You can also use different types of brick for different effects such as using red brick for an old stone look or using white brick for an old country style look. You can even paint your bricks if you want them to match another room in your house or even paint them all black if you have an industrial style home decor theme going on in other rooms of your house!
