Wood Burning

How to change the facade of a wood burning fireplace?

Unfortunately, I have a wood burning fireplace in my living room instead of a traditional fireplace. I like the look of the fireplace itself, but there is stone all on the wall behind it which limits what I can do color wise with the room. (I prefer color - not beige, which is all I can really use) There is also the stone encircling the fireplace on the floor.

Can I put some kind of drywall or plaster to cover up the stone, and still be able to use the fireplace safely? I would like a clean, solid look.

The stone (masonry) may protect the wall from the heat of the fireplace. The stone on the floor may be a hearth. Check with the fireplace manufacturer and the building codes.
An architect or interior designer can assist you with changes.
One can use other earth-tone colors in the room, such as green, gold, terra-cotta, brown, tan, etc.
