It's pumpkin spice season, which means it's also the season of warm sweaters, Friday Night Lights, raking leaves and picking apples.

It also is a great time to think about how installing or upgrading your fireplace can make your home (and its decor) cozier this fall and winter. Here are a few key looks to consider, courtesy of our friends at Pro Fireplace:

1) A contemporary fireplace insert with a cast iron faceplate can add the warmth of a wood fire and a fresh look. (It also can be paired with a surround of your choice.)

2) A gas fireplace offers a little less heat than a wood fireplace but has more convenience. You essentially can turn it on and off with a switch.

3) Don't forget double (or even triple) sided fireplaces can be major statement features.

4) Outdoor fireplaces can extend the seasons in which you love your patio or landscaping.

5) A wood-burning stove can double as cozy charm and a toasty heating source.
