A fireplace isn’t just a source of warmth, it’s often the heart of your home a focal point where everyone gathers. Whether you’re revamping your living room or starting from scratch, choosing the right fireplace can bring your interior style together beautifully.
Here’s some ideas on how to match the perfect fire to your space:
Rustic Charm
If you love a cosy, farmhouse feel, lean into natural textures. Robust, traditional-style, wood-burning or electric stoves look right at home with natural stone surrounds and chunky oak mantels. Pair with exposed beams, hessian rugs, wicker baskets, soft lighting and earthy tones for that timeless, rustic charm.
Modern Minimalism
For clean lines and contemporary interiors, gas and electric fires with sleek, frameless designs offer warmth without fuss. A built-in fire, finished in smooth plaster or polished concrete, blends effortlessly with minimalist décor. Add a statement chair and monochrome accessories for extra style points.
Traditional Elegance
If your home has period features, let your fireplace reflect that heritage. Cast iron inserts, tiled hearths, or marble surrounds complement Georgian and Victorian architecture beautifully. Choose classic silhouettes and keep the styling simple for a look that never dates.
Style-Enhancing Accessories
Don’t forget the details! An artistic log storage unit, woven log basket or textured hearth rug adds functionality and flair. And for evening ambience? Soft, layered lighting. Think low-slung pendants or statement standing lamps for cosy corners. Well-placed mirrors that match your theme can also help reflect the light of the fire cleverly around the room.
Colour Coordination
Your fireplace should sit comfortably in your room’s colour story. Use similar tones for a calm, cohesive look, or contrast bold wall colours with a crisp white or slate surround to for a focal-point finish, coloured stoves come into their own here. And remember to consider flooring and furniture too, it’s all part of the picture.
