The popularity of fireplace types can vary based on design trends and personal preferences. Here are some of the most popular types:
Electric fires and stoves are very popular due to their ease of installation, low maintenance, and versatility in design. They can be placed in any room and provide both heat and ambience.
Gas fires are favoured for their convenience and efficiency. They offer the look of a real fire without the hassle of wood and can be easily controlled with a remote.
Traditional wood burning fireplaces remain popular for their classic appeal and the authentic experience of a real fire. They require more maintenance but are highly appreciated for their ambience and effective heating.
With outdoor living spaces becoming more and more of an essential lifestyle addition, outdoor fireplaces are in high demand. They extend the usability of outdoor areas into cooler seasons and add a focal point for gatherings.
If you have a fireplace and want to enhance its appearance, here are some tips to make it look nice:
Regularly clean the fireplace and chimney to keep it looking its best. Remove any soot, ash, or debris.
Giving the chimney breast or surrounding walls a new lick of paint can instantly refresh the look of your fireplace. Choose a colour that complements your room’s décor, or take the opportunity to give your home an entirely new look!
Update or add a mantel to your fireplace. A new mantel can provide a place to display décor items and give the fireplace a finished look.
If you have an electric fire, add lighting above or around the fireplace to highlight its features. LED strips can create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Some of our electric fires are compatible with a mood lighting system, such as the Gazco eStudio electric fireplace range.
Decorating a fireplace can be a fun and creative project that adds charm and warmth to any room. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Stack logs near the fireplace to create a rustic look. Adding greenery, such as faux garlands or potted plants, can also enhance the natural feel – which pairs especially well with the authentic flames of a real log burner, like the Stovax Vogue 700 Inset wood burning stove.
Place candles on the mantel, or string fairy lights near your fireplace for a magical, twinkling effect. This works especially well during the holiday season, which will be here before you know it!
Change up the decorations to reflect the seasons. For example, in the autumn, use pumpkins and autumn leaves like this beautiful example of a Stovax Futura 4 log burner, while in the winter, incorporate snowflakes and pinecones.
By implementing these ideas, you can transform your fireplace, making it a beautiful and integral part of your home’s décor.
When looking to buy a new fireplace, it’s crucial to choose from approved expert retailers to ensure you receive a high-quality product and professional service.
